sorry no clip for this but i hope some of you will understand. how do you create those classic techno hats that they layer over the normal off beat hats - the ones that give it the pace. im using the redrum in reason for this and have tried a number of different settings and adding delay and reverb etc but i cant get it to be as sharp as i would like! any ideas?

thanks in advance!

You mean a closed hihat - sound?

Okey. Well, there's a lot of free refills out there on the internet were I'm sure you can find good samples in.
For example, Dorumalaia's site has good free refills:

Can someone host a sample for me? I'll show you one.

Send it to my mail and I will host it.

here, cooked this up and put it in a little track all for you :P

you can hear all the little drums I picked out in a row at the very beginning ending in a crash. Then you hear a tightly closed hat for 2 measures, then the slightly open techno hat i think you're referring to for 2 measures (for that hat, i used the Oh_cheese sample from the reason soundbank just so you know you have one in your soundbank... i wouldn't normally use the reason soundbank for drums except for maybe a few). Then it's just a simple drum beat, then you hear it in a little track thing.


I'm emailing it to danne_85's email address now, so you can listen when he posts it.

Just put some disortion on them if you want to get the techno sound.

You still have to pick the right samples, though. You're not getting a nice hi hat out of a snare sample :P

The classic offbeat techno thing to do would be a 909 ride cymbal

He's asking about the hats, not cymbals.

Hats are also cymbals...so are crashes, chinas, rides and so on
