I think this is the most crucia thing to pay attention to. If the drummer isn't good, the drums won't sound good. If the snare is out of tune, the entire set sounds out of tune.
I don't quite agree with the pre-amps, but they will impact the tone of the drums, but more often than not, I just run all the drums through the same Pres, as to add consistancy.
And moongels, indeed. If you have none, just use some folded toilet paper and duct-tape.
PR-30 -> HHb Radius 50 for Snare top
Oktava MC-012 with Card Cap. & 10dB pad -> Focusrite Voicemaster Platinum.
A fairly clean sound with some balls.
