In all likelihood, what you are hearing is a difference in frequency range. Those drums are low, but are not in the same mid to 20s that you will find on some movie soundtracks. Another possibility is that you have room modes that either accentuate lower frequencies, and/or decentuate something in the 40-60Hz range.

I would have to agree with calibrating at 85dB, rather than 65. It's only loud during the calibration.
