HOW TO GET A BIGGER DRUM SOUND WITH REVERB

In the tutorial by Craig, 'HOW TO GET A BIGGER DRUM SOUND WITH REVERB' I'm confused as how to bounce a reverb bus without the dry signal.
It's states: "Bounce the reverb sound without any dry signal so that the reverb is isolated in its own track; that way it’s suitable for processing."
The sound of the drums will be in the bounced reverb track right? My confusion is is the drum sound supposed to be heard in the reverb track?
 
I have my drum tracks going to a drum bus. I have send on the drum bus and the tracks solo'd. Should the reverb bus be pre fader or post fader? Volume fader down to INF?
 
Sorry if I sound dense.

    There are a couple of ways to get an all reverb track. One way is from the "Bounce to Track(s)" dialog, select the Buses category and only bounce the reverb bus.

    I'm not sure you *need* to bounce it, but you certain can send send it to a bus, put Breverb on the track, and turn the dry signal all the way down.
     
    Otherwise, you'd put Breverb on the track itself, turn the dry slider all the way down, then bounce the result to another track.
     
    Any reverb with a wet/dry knob should be able to be used.
     
    Hope this helps.

    You can do fun things with a bounced reverb track, such as reversing it, cloning it and delaying/EQing the two differently, chopping it up and muting some parts or adding slip-edits or volume automation.
     
    What I do is very quick and easy: insert the reverb onto the track, set it to 100% wet and then freeze the track. Then shift-drag the frozen wave into another track, un-freeze the original and bypass the reverb. You could do the same thing with a bounce instead of a freeze, I just find the freeze to be more convenient.


    All else is in doubt, so this is the truth I cling to.

    Freezing it - hadn't thought of that. Nice tip.

    Thanks for the help. I like the freezing method, easy and quick.
