    Doesn't sound like it. Swelled cymbals naturally gives the psychoacoustic impression of reverb (harmonic spread and color, reverb-like decay/envelope, M/S balance, etc).

    It sounds like, right? But it hasn't. This impression has two reasons
    1. The common relation of attack and decay level is altered by repeated hitting. In fact as long as you play the roll, it has a real sustain. This effect is even exaggerated by soft head sticks (basically no usual attack sound anymore).
    2. I think the cym itself is reacting like a plate reverb in this case.
