Rene, thinking more about this, there is a way to alter the parameters of individual sounds in RealDrums. I haven't done this in many years, but it's there.

You need to find the appropriate .TXT file in the /Drums folder for the style you want to alter. Then take a look at Help, RealDrums - Make RealDrums Styles. This shows that you can alter the volume by changing from the default value of 90. Here are a few entries from one of the Funky groove drum .TXT files:

Shot{snare and bass},0,130,99,196,1,90
;Shot{hi-hat and snare drum splash},1,130,295,297,1,90
Shot{hi-hat and snare drum splash},0,130,295,297,1,90
Shot{crash cymbal and bass drum},1,131,114,473,1,70
;Shot{crash cymbal and bass drum},0,131,114,473,1,70
;Shot{toms with bass drum},1,132,108,374,1,90
Shot{toms with bass drum},0,132,108,374,1,90

Lines that start with a semicolon ; are comments. Many lines appear doubled because the commented line is the original setting, there for reference in case you decide to alter it.

Notice the last number on each line; 90 is 'normal' volume, and 70 in this case is softer.

Give this a try. And if you do get what you want, make a backup of your .TXT file in case it gets overwritten by an update.
