Having a good low-tuned snare does indeed sound great. It's perfect for heavy rock stuff. A friend of mine had a band called Obelisk who recorded an album on a Portastudio in his house, and he detuned his snare significantly for the recording. It sounds aggressive as all hell, but he said by then end of the recording session the head was useless. I guess that's hard on a drum head's lifespan.
