@Dangerous: What you hear is a multi-velocity kick sample. So when you hit it at 5 different velocities (soft, med, hard, etc from 0 to 127) the kick will not sound the same. Just like no two snare hits (let's say left and right hand) sound the same. So if you program two kicks, one with velocity 100 and the next with +/- 5 they will not sound the same. It's not just volume.
Even when a drummer has a "heavy foot", on a track like this with 16th notes or triplets you will not have two kicks that sound completely the same anyway. But most of the times, because there is spill from other mics you can't really tell. It's only when you have nothing but the kick on the kick track that it becomes magnified and you can discern every single nuance of it.
