Oh yeah, and the other one that’s pretty old school at this point: use the the snare sample to drive a reverb you like.

Oh and a trick if anyone is interested.
Even if you have a tiny dead sounding room, put up a room mic or two in strange places in the room. Don't be too concerned with overall sound.
Send that mic(or pair) to your reverb at full wet so you only get the reverb and almost none of the original room tone. Add a little predelay and/or reduce the attack of the mic signal.
Adjust your reverb to sound like the room you want.
Now it sounds a lot more like a real room than sending your close mics to reverb.

Lexicon PCM70 or Lexicon M300 usually for hardware. Sometime ITB, varies. I like PD Plate a lot on the PCM70 for snare.

I've been testing out UA's oceanway on fake drums, sounds pretty cool. On real drums I used a PCM92 (HW) on the aux para comp channel / blended..

Depends on the situation & what I need out of reverb... Add a long tail? TC m2000 plate Density, size & ambience? Good old pcm 60 room. Working ITB no hardware? Probably UAD lex 224, covers so much ground. Sometimes it's a combination of the above. I've also used svart dead room/booth trick for a zillion years. Stick an sm57 in a corner facing away from the drums and feed an FX box. I thought I invented that! Actually I nabbed it from someone probably like, 15 years ago. Totally works.

Still using trueverb, and still creating my own presets like I did with the the old Quantec room simulator back in the day. I don't like drums dry and up front. They usually sit back on stage, and that' what I like a mix to seem like. So a room with a lot of diffusion, 2-2.5 second decay and a 40-80mc pre-delay. Healthy send on snares so we're at about 70/30 and about 90/10 in inside kick, 80/20 on toms. Jusy enough to enhance the experience and make it feel like you are having a real experience.

LittlePlate. Simple. And works. EQ it to fit.

It may be kind of genre dependent but I like the “Tape Room” setting in Echoboy blended in with the room mics sometimes.
The Fabfilter reverb is pretty cool for drums also.

If I recorded the drums I like to use the room mics and do a MS matrix. Pull the ms center down a few db so dry snare cuts thru up the middle and the rooms pull you out wide. Also like altiverb clubhouse that I customized for some 1.3 sec space. Keeps it natural.

Typically I'm using Valhalla Vintage Verb set to chamber, room, plate...whichever feels good that day. Other times I'll use Kush Goldplate.
Similar to Svart, if I need a "mid-length" room thing OR if I have a mono room mic, I'll add Valhalla VV to the track (prior to any compression), mix it 25%-40% wet with a 600ms-ish reverb time, and add that in to give some width. Tweak pre-delay to feel good. Some M/S plugin's middle gain to pull the middle down a little if I want it all feeling spread out a bit more.
Snare room sample if I need a big snare "pow" in an open section of a song. If it's something I've tracked, I'll trigger the tracking-day-snare-sample room mic I made between songs to provide that even if it's just a one-shot. There's something noticeably interesting to me about leaning in to the uniqueness of the space a recording was made in if it's at all possible.

"What verb do you use on snare?" GATED!
