Is there a fixed limit or is it just a matter of resources?

Isn't the cutting out of an existing sound what we're talking about?
Obviously we'd describe it that way if hitting loads of things cut out
a cymbal fade, but if there wasn't a cymbal fade and everything being
played was percussive and short, and one dropped out, that would be
the problem effect wouldn't it?

I'm sure I used to notice it with other combinations but since we only
have so many limbs it tends to require the addition of the bass drum
to get the effect.
