It’s the Slingerland snare from the Avatar kit with a cheap reverb plug-in on it from Sonar DAW. One trick I also use is I put an analyzer on the snare to see what the most dominant frequencies are and then I cut those specific frequencies out of the guitar tracks so the snare can come through more clearly without having to boost the crap out of it – although I usually still boost the crap out of it.
Subtractive EQ’ing is definitely the way forward, but then again nothing is linear when sitting under a compressor…
Either way, the tone of the snare maybe nice, but the avatar kit is so widely used these days and the mix is really not supporting it, sounds very much like a guitarist mixed this….
Also is there any sidechaining at all setup in the mix???
