As far as I know, trap snares usually come from a TR-808. You have a very good emulation of it in Audiotool. Play with the snare parameters, decay, pitch and tone to get as close as possible to your target sound. Then you can add distortion with the Tube or extra harmonics with an Exciter to get a richer sound. Play with EQ and compression to further shape the tone and dynamics of the snare. You can resort to tricks like layering two differently pitched snares on top of each other (make one louder than the other) to get a richer tone. Once you like what you have, think about how the snare fits in your whole mix and decide if you need to pan it, apply delays to it, stereo spread, etc.
