To evaluate these sound examples please listen on high quality headphones or a properly setup stereo speakers - but NOT Computer Speakers.
Here is a very tight bright full range dry snare phrase that all the examples below were convolved with various RI's. All the examples had the dry or direct signal muted so the sound heard is 100% wet.

Dry Tight Bright Snare Phrase

Large Hall Example
Here are several examples with a large space RI. The sound should not have any trace of the dry signal (no sense of a defined drum attack) and the sound should be diffused (covering the full stereo image field from extreme left to right). If the RI impulse has a dry component then you will hear it coming from a specific point in the stereo field - which shows a weakness in the RI or the hardware algorithm. The wet sound should reproduce all frequencies including the deep body of the snare resonance, the midrange and the snap of the high frequencies of the snares.
