The raw audio file has no reverb added beyond the natural sound of the room the drums were recorded in.

The raw audio file is divided into four sections, snare with high-hat, snare with ride cymbal, rim shot with high hat and rim shot with ride cymbal. The rim shot sounds pretty "woody" to me in both rim shot segments.

I'm not sure where the reverb you're hearing originates. You may be able to soften the rim shot by adding a compressor to the track. First adjust the threshold so the compressor limits the rim shot but doesn't affect the high hat. Then start with a fast attack and lengthen the attack time until the rim shot sounds more to your liking. The longer the attack the more the beginning of the rim shot is inhibited.
