Standard Reverb

I posted this in the drums section, but thought I'd try here too because some of you really know what you're talking about....
I am looking for a reasonable outboard reverb unit for when I record my drums. I am interested in a good standard/generic reverb that I can use for any style (but mostly rock, metal, and pop). Nothing fancy, just "reverb" for my drums.

If this matters...I use a CAD drum mic kit: 2 OH's in X-Y pattern, kick mic, snare mic, and tom mics > which goes to a behringer mixer > which goes to sound card line-in.

I mix my mic levels before I record because I cannot afterwards (seeing as I have everything going into one line-in jack). I would like to be able to adjust the amount of reverb for every drum, because the kick usually gets lost in the mix with reverb, and one doesn't need reverb on cymbals (or oh's), so adding post reverb isn't an option.

I guess that means I need a reverb unit (or pedal) to hook into my auxiliary jack on my mixer. By doing that I can manually adjust the amount of reverb I want going to each drum mic. What would be a moderately priced unit I should get? I've tried using my Digitech RP2000 pedal's reverbs but don't like 'em. I've also tried Danelectro Corned Beef (Garbage). Should I not use guitar pedals or does that matter? If I shouldn't, then are there such thing as drum effects pedals or units that would cost the same?

Sorry for such a long Q. I just wanted to give as much detail to narrow down the answers.

Honestly, take the ~$200 you'd spend on a reverb unit and buy a Delta 44. This way you'll have four inputs and can record 4 tracks at a time. Then find some decent freeware plug-ins to add reverb at mixdown time. If you can up your budget, ditch the behringer and get a Mackie or Yamaha small-format mixer.

Thanks for your reply.
But the reason why I said I was happy with my sound I'm getting, was because I meant I dont want to have to change any of my setup.

I was just wondering if anyone knew of any outboard reverb units I can plug into my auxiliary in my behringer. I do not prefer to do post reverb for the methods I use to record because I like the sound of record the effects live into the track.

Thanks again
