You'd be better off selecting a snare that is as close to what you want from the beginning. EQ'ing something to death is not going to give a pleasant sound - you can't really take a different sounding snare, apply EQ, then have it sound like the snare you want. It will sound like a different snare, sure, but probably not what you're looking for. The best way to get a snare sound is to use that snare.
That being said, there is no one single way to EQ a snare. If it is missing lows, you can add some, if it has too much of it, you can take it out.
Still, finding out which snare he uses, then searching out SD's massive libraries and options available, will give you the best possible result.
Thanks for the reply. Yes, of course you want to start off with a snare that is close to the sound you are looking for. That being said, even the best sounding snares need to be mixed (EQ, compression, etc.). I'm interested in how other drummers go about doing this. Just curious. That's what these forums are all about right? We all learn from each other. There's ALWAYS something someone else does that you might not know about.
