As far as using real snare drums, it's the tuning of them that makes them. The cheaper the drum, the longer it will take to get a decent sound out of it because of things like shell roundness or the bearing edges (where the shell meets the head). Remo make extremely good sounding snare drums that are very reasonably priced. I find Tama/Pearl drums are usually overpriced (check secondhand though, there's some good deals to be had in the LOOT mag). Look for the smaller shell/head size for that perfect Jungle snare ie. 13" x 3" or "Piccolo" snares as they are normally called. Then tighten the f**k out of the heads to get that 'bite' out of them.
Nobody and Fresh: you're both right about the different hits from the drum. If you're using a sampler set it up to trigger the different snare hits by velocity if you're searching for realism in your programming.
Have you checked out the MIDI file I posted in the New Jungle groove thread? Pay special attention to the velocity information and try and replicate that kind of info in your programming. Might take a while though, us drummers can play in 5 minutes what it take you progammers hours to do
