Yes but the snare being tickled by the brushes is not starting at 89. I would hope not at least. Like I suggested before, read up on the loudness wars, it will really help you understand dynamic range and what's going on now in pop and rock recordings. As you use replay gain you'll see that older recordings have smaller numbers and the newer ones much larger. The are making all the sound louder with no regard to dynamic range. In the older albums you could have a difference in what you were talking about of maybe 25dbs and you would really notice the snap of the drum, and now that might be 6 or 7. It doesn't have the impact that it use to have. Everything in the mix is loud. It makes for more fatiguing listening too. Sorry if I'm not explaining this so it makes sense. pfarrell could probably do a much better job of explaining all this. :)
