What is the best way to do it...
Use sample?
I tried to use sample and edit so it will fit my tempo and then i added a compressor to make it from muffle to clear. Didnt get very good result. Someone know better way to dO?

just do whatever rhithm with closed hat...
put any open hh where you want the "clop".
then i you have the option of testing out samples during playback (ei orion platinum), scroll through your open hats until you find one that interacts well with your closed hat.

I think the OHH will mostly sit better at 8th

It's generally not a good idea to sound a PHH, CHH, or OHH at the same time, since this can cause phasing and sibilance. In fact, many samplers (like Halion and DR008) offer the ability to assign hihats to monophonic keying groups, so that one sample will turn off as soon as another one is played.

Many conventions in dance music came out of the physical realities of live drummers. No drummer on a single acoustic kit can both CHH and OHH at the same time, and so this mutual exclusivity has come to sound pleasant in dance music as well.

why not making the sample ? is not so hard make drums in sound forge !!!

just ned creation and pacience for the first drums.. is not so easy to make .. but after some try's u will make nice stuff .. my kicks are made in sound forge and im really happy with them

how to make !!!open sound forge ..

then menu TOOLS ..
then u chosse SINTHESIS
then FM ....
one box will apear ... u have different option now ... u chosse the type of wave u whant .. sine .. touth etc etc ... chosse de frequencie u whant the sample can be heared ... per ex .. hit hats .. hig freq .. now it depends .. per ex .. after 3000hz ... for starting
one new wave just apear in your screan .. cut a little from the wave ...

then select it .. and select the menu ÊFFECTS .. then PITCH .. then PITCH BEND ...
then is amather of your tast .. chek out .. volumes .. semitones .. and the line u put to the sample .. u have a preview button to hear what u are making to chill and calmly u make nice perc

sorry this explanation .. im not a good teacher ..

hope u get at least the idea

Yeah, yeah, peace love, and possibility. It's always better to know the rules before you break them though.

man thick chuggin' break loops are made with like 10 hh....
for a good portion of my hi end, i slap loops together before i do anything else...
run er' through a hipass to get rid of all the ploopy plop kind of weirdness that sits in the lower half of the spectrum of a lot of drum samples.

hihats operate in the range to which the ear is the most sensitive, mainly 1.5KHz-8kHz. they contain lots of random frequencies approaching white noise. carelessly layering hats, esp OHH with long decays, can result in far more sibilance than rhythm. this is exacerbated by the use of un-EQ'd or carelessly EQ'd reverb because it diffuses the sound into even more white noise with even longer decays. I can dig strange CHH/PHH combinations, but if you overlap too many things in the high mids and highs, you're asking for trouble. tambourines are especially dangerous. trust me, i've ruined more than enough songs with ambitious hat and tamb attempts.

the challenge of hats is in keeping them interesting without making them too busy. bands like X-dream pull this off with phasing, filtering, flanging tricks, etc. smart work. i dont particularly like PHH and CHH too much in psy or any music which relies heavily on spitty 16th note synth lines w/arps and such, beause the resonant properties of the synth arps often clash with the hats if they are not carefully tuned to one another. PHH and CHH are at their best in house music where fewer synths and more classic instrumentation with slower attacks like horns appear. and of course the screaming fat divas.

i have a love/hate relationship with tambs beacuse they are both beautiful and dangerous. triangles are especially nice because they are more tuned than hats but still percussive.

when in doubt you can always slap an OHH tuned to a fifth or a third up from the tonic on the "and" of the beat and leave it at that, allowing the synths underneath to do the work, maybe swapping it out for a PHH or CHH in the buildups and turnarounds, etc. 1200 mics/GMS seems to use this pragmatic technique to good effect. better be a good programmer of high synths tho

I think he means that if your tune is in C then pitch the hihat to E or G and the "and" is up-beat in the bar, but I'm sure brOd will clarify. But still i am interested to know why you would do that anyway? Is it to avoid clashing with everything else frequency-wise? I guess this would apply for shakers too?

i am not happy the results I get with hihats, so this is useful info, thanks brOd.
