Yeah I don't know who is responsible for the Flim & the BBs drum sound, but they are good. I could pull out my copy and see who worked on it. I'm pretty sure it was heavily processed, but by someone who knew what they were trying to accomplish.Well this is the first posting where you mention the snare at all.
Being a drummer myself I agree that the snare drum does not sound very crisp and dynamic, but this is true for the overwhelming number of recordings. A notable exception is the remake of Jon Lords Concerto for Group and Orchestra from 2012, or the old classic Tricycle by Flim & the BBs. And of course a drum sounds quite different to the drummer playing it than to the audience, so you cannot expect that a recorded drum sounds like you experience it when you play it.
OK, just looked. Can't believe I forgot, but that is a Tom Jung recording. He usually does pretty good work. It was mixed to two track right in the studio and completely digital from that point on with very minimal processing.
