I'm after more Crack and less Pop.

I do have a few questions about this because the sound I'm getting from the Evans Genera Dry Coated is not the sound I'm hearing here. What snare is this? What Mic is this? Mic Location? Is the sound Dry?
Thank you,

5x14 Pearl Sensitone Brass

Close mic = SM57 2" away from rim, 1" up, pointing across head toward
center at a shallow angle. OH = KM184 pair recorderman style. Kick = D112 halfway inside drum pointing at hi hat stand accross beater pad.

Sound is dry (no reverb) No EQ Mixed ITB Samplitude Little bit of compression, tape sim and gclip; all mixes treated the same.
