kick drum help

I am having some trouble mixing a song and would welcome any sort of help. I have minimal experience in mixing drums and am trying to mix a song in which the kick drum sound is horrible. There is a lot of clicking sounds going on and in general sounds dead. I have a decent amount of knowledge about music production but once again not much in terms of mixing drums. I use REAPER as a DAW and am looking to at least improve the sound through VSTs (I know there is no way to fully "fix" a poorly recorded sound). Any help would be greatly appreciated!

suckerpunch, (i love that name!), do you have the kick drum on a its own track? If so, try Jonas' free drum REAplacer. It allows you to substitute a nicely recorded kick drum sound in place of, or in addition to your original kick drum. if the kick drum isn't on its own track, search for Pipeline's video tutorial on how to fix drums using REAfir. sorry, I don't know the links off hand. Good luck!!

Yes, it is on it's own track. I just called a friend of mine and asked him how to replace the sound altogether in the easiest way, he didn't answer his phone though and you just answered that question for me (REAplacer) it looks like! Thank you very much. I don't have that much experience using REAfir but that sounds like it may be worth giving it a shot as well.
