Yeah, I know...

I listened on our $30k monitors here, as well as 1031and NS10s... I still think wood. Maple. It's not a metal shell....

80% of that sound is the room, or simulated room (reverb). It just doesn't have the bite of a good metal shell snare... Granted, it might be a really shitty metal drum, but I don't hear it...

I would still try a maple snare with the weird tuning that i posted above... I think that's the way to go...
