If you want to incorporate the snare into your mix failing subtracting it you need a perfect synch. And with live, non-digital recordings such as indie music the BPM varies and is hard to synchronise. A lot of Accapella versions of tunes often have subtle remainders of a snare for some reason.
Indeed a snare takes you through just about every part of the frequency spectrum. First of all the stick hitting the drum couses the membrane to move down sharply which couses a very very low freqency sound. and after that the steel snares rattling against the membrane couse very high frequency sounds that are very random in frequency with a very large range. I don't think EQ is your best option. But if you realy want to do it this way find out how to view a spectrum analysis of a sellected audio part and applie that to the isolated snare.
You will never totaly eliminate the snare but you can limit it's presence. If it is an acapella track with remnants of a snare then it is often very visible in the wavform, the snare realy sticks out. If this is the case then you need to set up a compressor with a threshhold that just hits the snare peak. With a sharp compression this should drown out the snare and other sounds in the waveform. Not a perfect sollution but better than the snare being present in some cases.

Review Latest Track; Charlie Delta - Then The Days Where Long
Music is as universal to people as breathing. We've probably been at it since before we even started talking. Immaging two cavemen smashing away at a peace of flint to make a spearhead. It wouldn't take long for them to learn te synchronise the sound. And there you have it, the words first percussive band.
Music has survived wars, famines, the plague and many other things and has evolved with man across many cultures. Dance music is just the next step in the evolutionary chain. My guess is that it will probably be with us untill we are extinced.
