I am surprised no one has brought up the beta 57A. It has definately got more bite in the high mids.

I would agree all mics mentioned will deliver great snare sounds.

However, the biggest difference is the snare itself, mic positioning, tuning and the musician playing it.

Take an hour and experiment with 3 or 4 mics on a snare in different positions. Listen to the individual sound and then combine them playing with phases, overdrives, gates and crazy compression ratios. You are bound to find some killar snares.

Peace
