Try asking him!
To my ears, and knowing the period it's low tuning + compression and reverb, probably gated as well. Then its where it sits in the mix too...

That's kinda like what I though...What impress me the most its the fact that "Seventh Star" is his first recording! Not sure but I think he was using Sonor back then, Right?

Parallel compression; good room, nice snare, lot's of EQ, drummer hitting very hard. On most modern hard rock/metal recordings, the drum sounds are replaced after the session. You just can't get that type of sound cleanly and consistently. That album is an early one, but I'd be surprised if the snare sound you hear is the one he made on the day. The drums are critical to the success of this genre. People spend days just on the snare and they like to keep it secret too.

Part of that sound you hear on the radio is from running compressors on the snare/track in recording, mixing and mastering.My best recipe for it in the room is:6.5" Acrolite (or Supra, or 5" of either will do)Coated A. on top tuned as loose as possible. 1 Moongel (sometimes also a wallet depending on the room)Wires not too tight. (Don't choke it)Hit dead center on the head. Do not hit a rimshot. I think it was Bermuda who previously shared the trick of taking a *new* head, cutting the collar off just so you have a perfect circle that fits on top of your other head. It's a great one.EDIT: Here's the other thread: http://vintagedrumforum.com/showthread.php?t=39731
I can vouch for Jon's "cutout head trick" too.. If you have not tried this then I suggest that you give it a shot..
Cheers
