Brad on Getting that snare to “crack”

I sometimes (and suspect that other drum sample developers do this by default, although I enjoy having the control afforded by SD3) stack a rim shot on the centre of the snare drum and then have it only trigger at higher velocities. Like < 120, something like that. I find picking the right rim shot paired with the right centre can really create a crack that breaks through a dense mix.
Hope you were looking for something like that.
