Try micing the shell of the snare. Try something like a sure Beta 57a or Beta 56 right up against the shell, and an SM57 on the top head. The sm57 provides the thud, and the shell mic provides all the snap you'll ever need. I recently started doing this unstead of micing the bottom head, and generally don't even need to eq the snare. I sum the mics in the box, then send the mix out of one channel to the board.
