i never tried this but always wanted to. what if you put a speaker right on the snare and mic'd it from underneath and from the side. Not sure if it would sound best if the snare track were the original, or if you were to mess with gates, severe band limiting eq, compressor, etc going to the speaker.

Depending on the size of the speaker, two things I think would happen:

1. It would likely rolloff the high-end.
2. The transients would likely get rounded off.
 
thanks for the replies.

I may try some sample replacement after all, at least in the songs where its most noticeable. Some stuff sounds OK, and although the orig snare track doesn't sound "good" in a traditional sense, it strangely sounds kinda cool in some of the songs. Its got character in a lo-fi kinda way, which these dudes might be into...
 
I turn advanced triggering on, set resolution to auto, and adjust the threshold. That's about it. Works flawless for me.
 
don't you find the hits don't quite line up though? like you have to nudge them a bit?
 
Some sample I've used seemed to come in a bit off in the file, like theyr'e triggered on time, but the file plays as more of a "slow" instrument. Try different samples, see if you can find one that works better.
