Try multing the kick to another track and using some radical EQ, and compression to bring out the attack. Use a high pass at like 1 kHz or something really high before you hit the compressor. Then boost at 4 kHz to really bring out whatever faint sound of a an attack might be in the original track. Perhaps a gate in between the EQ and compressor may help to filter out some of the snare hits too.

As far as the triggering idea goes. Perhaps try triggering without using the gate. You'll get extra triggers, but you can always go through and either cut or mute the extra hits out. It may be a bit tedious, but it may get you there.

Otherwise, chalk another one upto experience.

Good luck,
Brad
