I watched a video about professional sounding back beats needing to have high velocity at the tip of the stick. Which means on a slow track like this, you have to massively delay executing the strike, because you'll be whipping the stick into the snare to get the high velocity needed for a back that has conviction. It's almost like ballet, the movements you do with your body to get your stick in the right place at the right time. I'm a big fan of "dancing" behind the kit.
