Mastering is the real dark art. Bass and drums? I think an EDM artist can give you lots of tid-bits, but I do know that people tend to like sidechaining:

thanks for the link. yeah I have a general idea of the tricks, conventions and techniques when it comes to mixing, but I seem to always dislike mixing the low end <200Hz. I'm not using great headphones to mix so probably it's frequency spectrum is causing me to overcompensate the low or high frequency bands
