I can say with 200% confidence that the drummer doesn't have a weak foot because I am the drummer lol.
Fair enough. It's my experience that 99% of all drummers think they hit hard. Only about 1% really do. I'll take your word for it, but the odds aren't in your favor.

other 2 songs were recorded using a vocal mic on the kick drum
What kind of "vocal mic"? I've used a Shure SM 57 with good results. It's probably very similar to your "vocal mic".

it sounds good by itself but when you add the vocals, bass and guitar the kit becomes overwhelmed.
This is what concerns me. The kick drum doesn't have to fight with much (just the bass guitar and maybe something in the high end but that's usually an easy fix). In other words, a dense mix is tough, but the kick drum usually isn't the tough part.

That low end should be blasting right through.

I will have to show this to my friend and bandmate that does the recordings.
Get him on here! He should be the one asking questions!
