Yes. I sum the two signals together, so it you hit both the rim switch
will operate, so that is the sound you will get.  I could "switch" the
signals rather than summing them but the effect would be the same. 
The rim sound dominates.  You would have to hit them within around
30ms of one another to only get one sound (the rim sound), but this is
perfectly possible if you were trying to hit them at the same time.
