I use any number of snare drums
depending on what I'm enjoying playing at the moment. My current #1 snare is a

live work.

ELECTRONICS/MONITOR:
I've been using in-ear monitors for years and have gradually built my rig into what it is now.   It's very simple but it does the job phenomenally well.
-
Roland
M16E mixer (band input sub-mix)
-
Crown Macro Tech 2400 Power Amplifier (powering the Buttkicker)
-
24
Channel Whirlwind Snake with quick connects and fan-outs for monitor return
split
-
Westone ES-2 Custom In-Ear Monitors.
These are the single most valuable part of the whole system. Nothing
sounds as good and works as flawlessly. I HIGHLY recommend
them.
