There is a method of using the "cross fade" to get different sounds
from a single pad.  A common use is to get a bell sound and a cymbal
sound from a single zone cymbal - the cymbal when you hit it gently,
the bell when you hit it hard.  I have used it to get the brush sound
on the snare when hit gently and a snare sound when hit hard.  You
could do a similar thing to get the rim shot.
