Hey Chris
I was dissecting this snare sound the other day. The closest I ever got to this snare sound were Ludwig Steel Snares, 6 inch deep, and mess with the snap tension so it has a slight looseness to it. The source of the sound is abviously the most important part. Even if you don't have this type of snare, try messing with the tension of your snap.
All that aside, I've been getting awesome snare results lately with an SM58 rather than 57's (which I've always used). Check it out.
For kick, Shure Beta 52 is nice! AKG D112 would work just fine!
I don't have much knowledge on the Samson kit but I'm sure it'll get ya going just fine, and the price won't kill the wallet. Best of luck!
