Yeah, it sucks, but for some ass reason I'm trying to replicate it.

Is that anywhere close? Snare doesn't come into it until about 25 seconds in.

Imo, it should sound "looser". Since these are sampled drums, i wonder if you can really get that sounds, unless the samples are recorded properly. It's just a "loose" snare (loose drum wires).

Get good 2 ply head (but not hydrolic), metal snare, crank it tight, NO MUFFLING, loosen the snare stings a little.

Given the right mixing, and context, a ringing snare drum *can* actually sound cool!

he actually removed the strings entirely for that sound :P

True. The drummer in my band is obsessed with the snare sound and the drumming from St. Anger (I know, I know). He tells me that he took the snare wire off and tightened the head as much as he could.

My drummer said he was able to get this tone by doing that, however he said he ripped the head shortly after he got it. Now he wants to invest in Ulrich's signature snare, but I know he's too cheap for that thankfully.

The batter head has to be tuned fairly high with a thick 2 ply head... Think Emperor X or something like that...

The reso head has to be tuned medium to get alot of resonance...

And all this has to be done on a metal snare, foremost a steel snare or a brass snare...

Thanks I'll tell that to my drummer! I think he already got a steel snare. It's been awfully high pitch lately...

you have to hit an empty can, that'll do it.
