Hmm, well that's news to me and pretty much every drummer I know, which is a lot, but OK...

Rim shots also do not have to be loud, AT ALL. And I would like to echo another post which highlighted the fact that rimshots can have ENORMOUS variation in tone strike to strike..

I agree! I was referring to the specific type of rim shot that Jules says he wants. As others have mentioned, that specific sound was mainly developed to cut through a mix in a live setting, because it is loud! And it also tends to choke off the sound of the snares quite a bit, limiting the character of the drum.
I agree a rim shot doesn't HAVE to do that, but in that specific case it does.
