Problem with drum track. Listen up!

[Pre Studio Productions]

theres a couple of things wrong with this drum track in my opinion. i feel like the kick is too loud or has too much "thump". another thing (main problem) is i think my snare is getting lost. It doesnt sound full snap. it has a sort of fade smack sound. how can i prevent the snare from getting lost after mastering? help?

It's hard to tell outside of a mix. Throw some guitar/bass on them. Snare needs more 200 hz imo. Needs more body. Did you high pass your kick?

yeah i did high pass my kick @ 50. but i had to much my maxxbass pumping way too much than needed. so i definitely fixed the kick, but im also in the process of putting guitars and bass (guitar octave down). and ok i will add 200 to the snare and will upload a new link

Here's the new link. Although i fixed the weird snare i had going on, i still feel like i need to make some adjustments. The toms lack balls.

p.s. dont judge the guitars, becuase they are no where near done and there is no bass. thanks
