There were several mics on that kick drum including an AKG C414 on the batter side. The mics were summed into a single channel. Most producers/engineers use some degree of processing whilst tracking.

Superior Drummer 3 was intentionally recorded ultra clean with very transparent pre-amps. Rooms of Hansa, Fields of Rock and Hitmaker all have varying amounts of saturation and compression from the console pre-amps, tape emulation hardware in the case of Fields of Rock or real tape for the the Hitmaker. Additionally many of the Hitmaker presets have a lot of compression on the ambience mics.
If you listen to only the close and overhead mics of the different SDX’s the velocity response should be very similar
