This is the most ridiculous statement I have heard in my 30 years as a musician.
First off a pic is not a "beginners" snare. I would hazard a guess that Mike Portnoy or Neil Peart are not beginners. It is just another voice you can add to your set up. Secondly working on your control can be done on a practice pad so this is more false information.
To answer this question, as the above poster mentioned, try properly tuning the snare you have and swapping out the 20 strand for a 40 strand snare wire.
Also different heads would most likely make a huge difference. My suggestion is to go to a local shop and try similar drums of the same material as yours with different combinations of heads. It helps to have a patient sales person and go when the shop isn't too busy. Most guys are willing to help you out with this kind of stuff especially if you're going to make a purchase.
Good luck.
