I'm not familiar with those.  I could be off base on this, but I'm wondering if you're thinking 'scooped cymbals' in referance to 'scooped mids'.  'Scooped mids' is when the midrange frequencies or the treble aren't cutting through and blend in with the snare or cymbals.  It also sounds like you're playing in a 'tin can'.
