After going through this thread I am still not entirely clear. Here is my take:

Several snares have only one articulation which is ‘hit’. Now afaik ‘hit’ means hitting the drum and resting on the drum which you might do with your bass drum while ‘center’ means hitting the drum in the center. (I could not find a definition of all articulations and how you trigger them. Articulations like ‘rimshot’ are straightforward, but some – e.g. ‘hit’ vs ‘center’ are not)

Now given my understanding is correct ‘hit’ does not make a lot of sense for a snare drum as you hardly ever rest your stick on the snare. I looked in the grid editor and snare does not even show a ‘hit’ articulation there. Either way, I’ve not found any way to trigger the snare ‘hit’ articulation no matter what I am doing.

My understanding is that these presets are just not right. Am I missing anything?

Cheers,
Bernhard
