There are a couple of ways around this.

1) You can turn off all or some of the multisamples, so you can just have the one 'loud snare' if you want. If it's using all the multisamples and autodetects, sometimes it's too tame when the drummer is inconsistent, depending on the style of music.

2) Go in and actually grab the waveform of the real snare drum and bring it up in level to make it equal to the other louder snares (you'll need to slice/delete around specific hits otherwise you are going to pull up the whole snare file!). This way Drumagog will detect only a 'loud' hit and choose the appropriate sample (see point #1). And if there is still too much bleed around a real soft hit, you can copy and paste a louder hit from the drummer and proceed as above. Takes some work but you can literally get it to a point of perfection (even on rolls, blast beats, snare builds, etc).
