Snare Mics - Alternatives to the 57

[imissthewar]

I checked around the archives and hadn't seen a thread like this so....

What are your favorite mics for snare other than the trusty 57? Do LDCs, SDCs or ribbons ever do the trick? I currently am using 57 for snare and it's not the greatest (perhaps my yet-to-arrive OSA pre will change all that), and I'm looking for other flavors. Thanks alot guys!
