does it tend to drop slightly and then rumble? ... how many miles you have on it? manual or auto?

It sounds like mounts to me as well. If it is an automatic what you can do to check them is have a person get in the car with it running and put it in gear and hold the brakes and then rev the car a bit to see if the motor is rocking more than it should.
