Reverb on drum tracks is the most important of all in acoustics.
This is because drums more than any other instrument are affected by acoustics, as they are effective across the entire frequency range; from the lowest sub-bass to the highest transients.
If you have problems with a room's acoustics, you will also have problems with drums.
Precisely the reverb effect has the greatest impact on how the drums sound, and too little will result in a dead and flat undynamic sound, while too much will completely ruin the sound image.
A good illustration is if you play an acoustic instrument in an acoustically over-attenuated recording studio, this is terribly tiring and demanding.
If you play in an old church, this has near perfect acoustic conditions, which makes it very easy to play with great commitment.
Recording in a church, on the other hand, is extremely demanding for the same reason.
Being a studio musician is the hardest of all jobs, because the acoustics (and commitment) are lacking, while the sound engineer has ideal conditions.
As a 16-year-old I did a lot of studio recordings with accordion, because I had a friend who had a sound studio.
He added acoustics afterwards, which brought the music to life AFTER we had recorded it.
He was a wizard for his time.

Thanks for that I will try some experiments
