Gee, do what sounds good to you, and if adding a ton of reverb on a kick drum sounds good to you, then do it. In fact, it's a great effect to use when you transition to a quieter part.

see, bass sounds are non directional, and when we hear the 'reverbed' kik drum on playback, we hear the reverb on just the top & mid of the kik, but, it gives the impression that reverb is on the whole kik, cos we only need to hear the reverb on the upper frequencies to 'fool' the brain into thinking reverb is added to the entire kik-sample....
so - reverb ?.. yes !!... but if it gets muddy, roll-off the bottom-end - works a treat !!

The alesis midiverb 4 really suits this effect in my opinion.

So the sound comes out of aux send, and goes into your FX unit.
Out of the FX unit comes your reverb so you plug this into either a stand-alone EQ (which then goes back into your mixer), or into a free mixer channel, where you can use the mixer's EQ to remove the low frequencies.
