Fresh ears re-mixing today. Just sampled another snare...which is a lot of GD work. Since I can send it via midi, but it's one velocity, and it doesn't catch rim hits or quieter snare hits.
Here's the old:

Highly recommend aptrigga trigger plugin. It's cheap and works, you can load multiple samples, blend the dry signal in etc.

That's a great plugin. If I had his snare here, I'd record some samples and mess with it...but I don't have enough good original samples to steal from so I'm just triggering SD Samples, and it's working.
Here it is with squashed parallel compression with transient shaper on the parallel track to kill the ping. It's a start, and I can separate the kick and snare now to give them some more space if need be...but I think in the context of a mix, this will work really well.

You have these already?

Drums sound good to me already though!

The old clip sounds like a timbali
It sounds like it's tuned too high and, if it's a real snare, it needs a zero ring. Zero rings are the shit bro!
That's exactly what they're for... eliminating the ping. Can't say enough about them. Cheapest and least time consuming solution to your problem.
Even a heavier weight snare skin will help.
The new clip sound OK to me.
