no, really. the technique is well-known. and it's not just a noise gate threshold.

the idea isn't to let the processed sound decay naturally before cutting it off. it's that you want to get a huge sound into the gate and then chop it off quickly and sharply.

the reverb and compressor will make the sound coming into the gate too loud for it to cut off quickly. a compressed drum with a lot of reverb makes a big BOOOOOM with a long tail. you really need that separate, sharp, dry, sound from the drum mic to control the gate.
