Default MIDI drum resonance

The snare hits on MIDI drum parts recorded via an e-kit I've noticed often have a slightly different resonance/sound dependent on where exactly on the trigger I physically hit. This is a good thing of course because it means a more natural sound akin to a real snare head, but because of my not so good technique I sometimes have annoyingly different sounds between two snares (tight to resonant). I can't figure out using the Reaper MIDI editor how I can make them more uniform. There is nothing distinct between the two different hits - they correspond to the same note, have velocity readings that are very close and are similar in note duration too. Is this something "baked in" to my E drum recording? I'm thinking surely not because that goes against the premise of MIDI?

Does anyone know what I'm talking about or advise on how to help, haha.
