Decent sounding acoustic snare sample

[badgerer]

Hi guys,

I have a crap drum kit. I can get an ok sound out of it, but then i'm terrible at playing drums! So I've moved onto digital drums. I've downloaded a program (Acoustica Beatcraft) and it seems pretty good, and I've been able to download decent samples of bass drums, cymbals etc., but cannot find a decent snare sample! I'm just looking for a nice open snare sound that you would find in any typical pop or rock song - anything that fits your usual kind of popular music style. The biggest problem I find is that a lot of samples cut off the snare sound before it has time to ring out, which sounds very unrealistic. Anyways, any suggestions? Thanks.

Go to concert snare. Deeper longer more bottom end sound penetration.
