Which snare do you prefer?

[Matt Smith]

Yeah, the only claim to fame my Athens has is being the home of R.E.M.

 

[MKS]

I think snare one sounds better but is not cohesive because the reverb seems synthetic.

 

[J the TyranT]

I'd say, the first snare has a better tone to it in general... but with the mix done as it is... the second sample sounds better in that particular song, with that particular mix...

So I vote for 2...

1 cuts through -too- much
