the kicks in ableton sound like theyve had a blanket thrown over them, how can i get a punchier sound?

Also, what is layering? I know its a common phrase but im not too hot on my technical terms right now, i just know the breaks;-)

layering is simply taking multiple kicks and combining them into one. By playing around with different eq and compression settings on each one you can sculpt it to sound the way you want to. to make my kicks punchy I lightly compress and eq a little around 1000khz in the mix

you really need to be experimental in making beats, i remember layering before i knew it had a "term", just try anything that you think would make your music sound better.
