Generally.. the more of an instrument you send to a reverb, the further back in space it will sound.. that and its volume level.. Its common, at least with algorithmic reverbs, to send to multiple reverbs. You really want a certain amount of one of the reverbs on everything, probably, to help it all sound coherent.

There's other stuff of course like attack time.. how long before a sound would hit the wall behind the instrument, and bounce back to your ear..

Usually with drums you start with the overheads.. add the other stuff to shape tone.

but yeah, def check out mix it like a record.. I hear very good things about that.. and he usually does a christmas time special... and while your at it, subscribe to the project studio network and download all there old episodes... they've faded but they are very very good for drilling into your head what you needed drilled
