drum kit volume levels

Some drum kits have sounds I want to use, namely high hats and snares, but the volume levels as they sit are not loud enough. Even if I have the slider at max. Is there something I can adjust to make the levels higher in relation to the other sounds I'm using on other tracks in the same song?

Track down which IFX the DKIT is using and tweak the parameters or side chain another IFX to the DKIT IFX track.

Another approach is to put the same Drum Program on another track (or more), same MIDI Channel, and then Key Zone the two (or more) tracks in a way that certain sounds are separated onto the different tracks - then you can run the ones you want to be louder through a compressor or limiter to boost the level. You can leave the MIDI data for the track on one track, and since the others are on the same MIDI channel, they will all respond to the MIDI data.

I've done it the hard way. Since each drum is on a different note, I just isolate the parts into individual tracks and adjust the volumes accordingly sometimes using a compressor to increase gain. It eats up tracks though. That usually isn't a problem for me because most of my work is in the audio mixer. Real guitars, bass, vocals, etc.
