snare consistency.

You lucky guys who get to track and mix really good experienced studio drummers...
what sort of consistency are you seeing in terms of
A) snare volume changes (not talking about intentional changes, e.g. verse v chorus etc But when its a basic snare part , what in terms of dB fluctuation are you seeing.
B) consistency of tone, I guess due to accuracy of the snare hitting in the intended spot of the drum and developing the same tone.
Interested in your thoughts...
eg
during a normal verse, hits wouldnt vary by more than 1 to 2dB, and sound should be almost perfect.
Why am I thinking about this, well, I was thinking about drum replacement with samples, and the (perhaps) unrealistic world of snare drum playing it may have imposed on music.
Also, my question goes then to compression amounts and threshold...
cheers
