Mix sounds flat until drums are present when playing out phone

For some reason instruments sounds quiet and thin in my mix until any type of drums specifically come in. This only happens out my phone speaker. When there’s one or two elements playing through my monitors, headphones - even out of my laptop - the sound of them is fine. They stay the same in loudness and fullness throughout the song, regardless of whether drums are playing at the same time.

However, out my phone, it’s like the sounds thin out, then when the drums come in all of a sudden they thicken/saturate again, increasing in volume along the way.

If I had to try and be specific, I’d say it’s the mid frequencies that seem to disappear, then they reappear when drums come in making the instrument sound how it should.

I’m assuming it’s to do with the way phone speakers process things, but when I listen to industry quality beats they don’t have this problem. I really want a fix since I promote a lot of my beats on socials where people listen out their phone speakers. Any help at all would be HUGELY appreciated.
