Seeking advice on how to achieve a snare tone like this!

I have 10x6 wooden snare, and a 13x3.5 metal piccolo snare and I am dying to get this kind of snare tone, but haven’t had much luck. I keep breaking my heads. It sounds so cranked yet has such a nice crack. Any tuning advice is GREATLY appreciated to help me achieve this sound, thanks in advance!

*UPDATE* thanks for all the responses, ended up going with the 10x6, cranked the batter head pretty tight, kept the reso head tight but not too tight and it’s singing now, it’s got a nice dry crack to it with lots of that good ol rimshot poppiness. The 13x3.5 just kept sounding like a garbage can with wayyy too much ping

Fellow guitarists, what is your favorite speaker to pair with V30s to get a brutal slam tone?

I’m running a Peavey 6505+ with a 4x12 loaded with 4 UK V30s, and I’m looking to swap out 2 of the V30s for something else, in hopes of achieving a fuller, more brutal tone when it comes to the chugs.

The speakers at the top my radar currently are the DV-77s and K100s. Open to other options as well

I’m shooting for a more saturated, modern tone similar to Peeling Flesh and Boltcutter, rather than that dry, old school sound such as Suffocation, thanks in advance

Fellow 6505+ owners, I’m seeking advice on which speakers to pair with V30s. What’s your favorite speaker setup with this amp??

I’m gonna try and keep this short and as to the point as possible

I’ve owned my 6505+ for about a year, and I paired it with an Orange 4x12 with 4 UK V30s, and I’m having a hard time dialing in a good tone that I enjoy. My main issues right now with the V30s is that there is just wayyy too much mids for my liking. They sound very shrill and fizzy. I’m looking into getting different speakers to replace 2 of the V30s in hopes of achieving a more balanced, brutal tone.

I’ve watched so many comparison videos and they haven’t really helped. But right now now I’m leaning mostly towards some DV-77s, but I figured I’d get on here and ask others what they run before I pull the trigger. I mostly play in the style of numetal and death metal. Looking for something that adds low end, and balances out the mids from the V30s, to make it sound less generic, yet brutal. I appreciate any input, thanks 🙏

My main question is, if you have this amp, what speakers were your favorite for brutal metal tones?
