Err, I was there, playing drums in the studio.

Another example? The drums on Bowie's 'Let's Dance'. Or Dire Straits 'Money For Nothing'. THAT'S the snare I want.
Both Omar Hakim on drums I think.
Check out Superior 2 - which works great for e-drums and features the studio engineering of Neil Dorfsman (who recorded Dire Straits 'Money For Nothing').

Also, I'm sure Steven Slate has some very fat snare sounds.
