Killer sounds are very subjective. the coolest sounds are different 
for everybody. The best way is to just set the voice for Snare drum, 
and scroll thru the voices,playing each one til you find some you 
like. Try changing the tuning a little on each one. Save the one you 
like to different kits. Then set the rim to snare also, and scroll 
thru to find the right rim sounds. Many combinations will work great.
Then experiment with voice two on snare. Layer the two different 
sounds, with or with out crossfade. Or try the same sound on v-1 and 
v-2, with different pitch and tone, with crossfade, for a more 
realistic response.
It just takes some experimentation to find the right sounds for you. I 
don't have my kit here or I would give specific combos.
PS How is the accusnare response? I'm using a Concertcast ST with 
great success, but could always use a bigger, more sensitive pad.
