Thank you! It's hard to say for sure, because the song choice is random each time a page loads. If you can remember a song title I may be able to give more details.
Generally I'll mic the snare with a SM57 top and bottom, through API pre's and EQ's. For mix down it's usually some form of parallel compression for the kit. I been using Rocket from Stillwell (an 1176 variant) and sometimes the Waves SSL channel strip on the snare it's self.

Nice gear list too mate - I respect you if others here don't.

Again, thank you. I've been fortunate to collect some cool pieces over the years. Some I've had to let go for various reasons, the RCA BA6a that I rebuilt really stung. But all in all there's probably a few more things I'd like to add in the compressor/eq categories.
I checked your studio, you've got a cool spot with some really nice things happening as well. I really like the idea of the tiered mixing approach, having various mixing options by utilizing the rooms that you have around you. That's a great idea! I may adapt that for my clients, if you don't mind of course.

Congrats on the CMT thing also.

I think you're referring to Gibson who has a song on rotation there. Very cool indeed.
