This is what I did:

Setup a stereo track. Take one hard hit from the snare, put it on the stereo track and reverse it. Cut the transients. Put a stereo widener tool on it (I use Steinbergs Mono to Stereo plug-in). Now automate it to go from full stereo when it starts to mono just before the snare hits. send the snare itself to a huge stereo hall. done. I like what I hear and I hope you do too!

I really like to take very ringy snares for the reverse as you can hear in my example. Sounds really disturbing to me! I haven't heard this in any other mix but I'm not listening to that much core stuff atm so maybe it was done before.
 
I've always been of the opinion that chamber type reverbs are better than halls for the whole reverse snare thing
