I just want to augment the snare. I have a serious hunch their mix uses them also. I'm glad you point out the phase issues with the snares though. That may make a difference. I'll send you my latest mix via PM and you can give me your thoughts.
I think this can sound like the Allman Bros with two drummers, so I have it the back of my mind to set up a sample kit to augment the live kit. If I can use the live stuff by itself, that'd be ideal, but the snare just isn't the correct pitch for my taste. It's a low "thwonk" rather than a crisp "crack."
