^ just making a joke, sorry

i agree. and it can be good to gate drums with the floor up to -6db, it's like an expander

QuoteIt bears noting that, historically, gates have been most reliably and comfortably used when mic-ing up percussion, like a kick drum or snare drum.

It also bears noting that gated reverb on a snare is a crime punishable by death in many countries

Listen to Dave Mattacks - he can simulate that gated drum sound by just hitting his snare in a certain way!
