To make this work for you when creating a rhythm foundation, try feeding the same parallel compressor from just the kick drum and bass tracks. You can apply it to the other drums if they need to sound bigger and fatter, but start with just the kick and see how that sounds.
Each drum should be a different layer/track. You may wish to label the tracks by clicking on the down arrow beside the track, then name, then type the name of the drum (eg. bass drum) All tracks should be mono.
