Drums - Getting more snap or whack out of the snare

A simple trick when recording drums, especially when they're on a carpet:

Place a piece of hard flooring, a clipboard or other piece of hard material directly below the drum, on the floor. Adds a nice reflection to a overly dead sounding snare.

A variation is to place several large rocks below the snare, to get a more diffused reflection.
