If you could ONLY use EQ...sorry I should have clarified....

Use the parametric EQ. Drop one channel then slide the valley along the frequency range until you find the frequency that the ring is on and then leave it there.

If the ringing is related to feed back, as it usually is, then consider moving your monitor wedge. If you are monitoring via headphones, the ring is not due to feed back, and EQ won't solve the problem. If this is the case, then it is the drum that is ringing.
Purchase a Remo ZerOring, or one by Nobel and Cooley. I would recommend the latter, since these folks specialize in snare drums.
I've played drums for 40 years and started a sound company about ten years ago. I don't know everything, but I have a decent batting average.

If he has a parametric equalizer the pitch of the ring could be isolated and reduced but not eliminated. It could be however reduced enough so that it's not noticable. If you only have a shelving EQ yoiur not going to be able to do much. Experiment with cutting the high mids and reduce it as much as possible.

you would boost and cut the higher frequencies until you find an acceptable level. Also, cut back ALL reverb and see if that makes a difference. You might also have to re-record with zero processing.....in other words, a flat setting.

i am just now getting into some recording, but i am not that experienced with drum mics. id have to suggest taking some of the highs out, that seems logical enough...give it a try.

well, you can try a noise gate, or muffle the area in which it's played.
EQ? I don't think that's the way to approach it.
