[Doggiebox] Am I being picky?

With the purchase of a Tascam 2488 MKII on the horizon, I'm starting to get some drum tracks in order. I'll still program drums on the Mac, then dump an exported audio file into the 2488. I'll probably program a scratch track just to make sure the timing works, then go back and polish up the drum tracks as a last step. So... I've been noticing that the Yamaha kit has some really nice sounds. The NS Kit that I've spent so much time putting together sounds small and compressed by comparison. I like the variety I've put into the NS Kit, but now I'm not sure I like the sounds. Has anyone else noticed this? I can't remember wether the original NS Kit sounds were like this, or if I manipulated them in some misguided way.
