I think this was a really good question from the original poster. You can’t always find the snare used in original recordings. I’m similarly looking for a deep snare but with a strong crack, in fact very specifically, Phil Rhodes from Hey Jealous, by the Gin Blossoms… unfortunately I’ve read 3 different things about what he used, from DW all around, to a Noble & Cooley, to a Gretsch kit that happened be in Ardent studios where they recorded (no idea if it was a Gretsch snare with the kit). And I’ve scoured the over 50 snares I have between the kicks & snares pack, and my half dozen or so other kit packs, nothing really sounds like it. The reason is likely because the EQ and what I think is a gated reverb on the original really add to the tone. I can get pretty close with a couple of the solid maple snares once I too add gated reverb and play some with EQ but not that nice deep sound. I even tuned the pitch down 1 – 1.5 but just not sounding like it. I actually think what’s happening is the deep tones in the drums by themselves gets lost within the rest of the mix, so I may need to look at carving some space out some how.

Any advice welcome

Question – what would people recommend between the 70’s pack vs. the vintage pack (or classics also mentioned here)? Doing a lot of 70s rock these days.
