The gate effect attributed to Phil Collins is a gated reverb.  This means
that the reverb signal is included in the mix only for the duration of the
share hit itself, with no reverb "tail".  The only special requirement of
a gate to be used to produce this effect is that it must have a separate
"side chain", or control input, so that the dry snare signal can be used
to control the gate, whose audio path is passing only the wet portion of
the reverb.  Other than that, the usual qualities associated with a good
gate are desirable.
