The original song has proven once again to be superior. So... don't cover God.
As for the snare drum, I was told a drummer can use about 'two settings'
hollow or tight. As it is a rehearsel, I suppose, the snare is present. One would think it would be more silenced in case of a studio-production.
I do would like to see the 'singer' to understand the difference between a death-grund and a frog.
Some like their snare sounding like your listening to the snare in fast forward, maybe this is the case, if so fine. If not there are many ways to take away the ring or hollow out of a snare, one is to have bought a snare w/ vents in it, such as, Donoho and Pork Pie brand snares, but there are many other brands. Most small name, hand-made custom snares have vents i.e Donoho (out of business now, but may score one on eBay); you can buy tone control rings, and the last method is a tuning method. Obvious note: this is on the top side.
1. Tune as normal
2. Detune the lug across from you one full turn.
3. Detune the adjacent lug one half turn
4. Tighten every other lug up 1/4 of a turn.
And if it doesn't take all the ring out increase the effect by detuning more, but make sure to increase all the other lugs accordingly, but be careful as this tuning method will go through heads quicker depending on how much you detune. These different ways of getting the ring out have been listed in order of effectiveness though a combination of all three will give you best results.
Now that the ring is gone if you still want that snappy sound you can tighten the lugs adjacent to the snare 1/4 turn (on the snare side of course.)
I agree in the studio production the snare will sound better (by being turned down and they will add gain most likely.)

. At the moment it sounds like half and half.
