It's hard to suggest anything without knowing the context, i.e. hearing the rest of the mix. It sould seem that you don't like the snare in the context of this mix, or are you just freakin out on it when solo'd? What seems like nasty ring when solo'd actually can sound really good within the mix. When I first started out, I would obsess on ringing drums. In the end, I was was making recordings with really dead, lifeless drums.

If you really need to replace it, why not do it the old school way? "Reamp" it. Retune or find a better drum. Suspend a speaker right over the top of it, then mic it up. Send the snare track out to the speaker and re-record it. You'll have to time align if your on a DAW. Might just be the ticket.
