Question about recording drums?

Well, I don't think it's going to make that big of a difference. For your snare, imho all small-diaphragm condenser mics are going to be about the same in the end, due to mixing. Something to consider is that the snare drum must complement the song — for example, a dry, high-pitched snare like you're describing may cut through the guitars on stage, but they sound different in a recording, and usually sound silly on a heavy track, no matter how well it is recorded and mixed. I would show up with an alternative snare in reserve in case it doesn't sound right in the mix.
