I've never been happy with 57 on top and recently had an extra input track so i miked the snare with both the 57 on top and a shure sm81 pointing at the middle of the shell about 4" back, parallel to the floor. great crack, ring and body! I was going for a vintage sound however, not close miked. i have a ludwig supraphonic but still did not like the 57. I did use a good portion of the snare from the overheads though (ksm32s). I would imagine any SDC would work, i only chose the 81 cause it's the only SDC i have. Some tracks i left a touch of the 57, but most sounded best with only the 81. this is by far the best snare sound i've gotten.

It's the snare and player that gives the "pop" not the "mic"

True, but many mics simply cannot deliver the fast transient response regardless of the source.

That's very true. So let's say the player-snare-mic in that order and...... we've got a "Winnah!!----the---POP!!".......cheers.

PS...I like your website--nice gear and also good posts by you.........cheers... yet again!
