the beta's are hypercardioid ..personally I am not crazy about the sound of a hyper.. it can fix some stage issues but it creates a 'tubular' aspect to the top end (to me). also (another opinion) I am not really crazy about 10K on a snare most of the time.. but a hyper cardioid can isolate better so you can fix it in the mix later . try cutting some low end with a gentle shelf and put a broad bell centered at 5K and DONT compress it going down. Since Snare is pretty important to me I usually use one of my better SDC and an old EV 635 omni (which gets a lot more than the snare)
