Try a bass drum instead of a kick drum.

In an instrument capacity yes, but not when referring to live sound

great chart to help learn your frequencies explains what effect cutting or boosting each frequency will have as well

thanks its saved my ass a few times when i've gotten weird and wonderful instruments thrown at me

edit: what i tend to do with a kick drum is roll the high down until it starts to affect the sound. Turn the mid frequency selection to around 5khz this is generally where the sound of the beater is and then use the mid and low (usually set to around 50hz on a 3 band eq) to find a sound that works for me. Low will give you more boom and chest thump and mid will give you the click sound which will help to make the kick cut through in a mix too much of either sounds bad but it is possible to get a good kick sound out of a 3 band eq (even on a behringer mixer)

this is just what works for me n i've tried to explain what i do in laymans terms feel free to give me a pm if you want
