Acoustic Snare Drum Track

I have done some searches but haven't seen anything on this topic and was hoping to get some input. I tracked an acoustic drum kit with overheads, kick, snare and toms on thier own tracks and they all sound pretty good. Nice kit, tuned well, good even playing. However I just can't seem to get the snare to "snap". It was a maple snare with a new thin coated head, close mic'ed with an sm57 recorded dry. What effects might I try to get a snap and a little sustain out of it? I have the standards on there, a little compression, EQ, reverb but those are just evening out a few spots and widening it a little, they don't give me that smack sound. The sound I am looking for is from Pear Jam's CD "Vs." To me it sounds like there is something mixed with the snare track, maybe a little distortion to get it that way. Any tips?
