How do I create Gated Reverb on a snare?

I have a snare. Made an Aux send. On the aux channel i put a reverb (wet signal 100%) then right under the snare i put a gater (threshold all the way up) i can here the reverb when i adjust the gate "hold" parameter. Is this the proper way to do it? I didn't side chain anything and for some reason i think i should be?

iMac, Mac OS X (10.5.7)

Also, use a sh*tty-sounding reverb like the AVerb.


One of S.D.'s bigger halls can work well too, especially EQ'ing it so it's thinner.

Try experimenting with the attack/release to get different effects. A faster attack and slower-to-medium release can get you an effect which can sound like the reverb is being swallowed by the snare, once you've juggled these settings with predelay.
