How do you make uplifting trance closed hats?

I was wondering how you make your closed hats. The only way I know how

to do it is to sidechain a hat pattern 16th notes C, D, E

so it looks like this


Up, Up, Down Down ( Looks like a triangle)

sometimes it sounds good. Alot of the time it seems to fit better with

housey trance

Is there a better way to do it?

Thanks for the help

Depends on the song I make. Sometimes I'll duck them with a kick sidechain, other times I'll draw in complex hat patterns and in the odd occasion I'll even tap in patterns using a drum pad.

Well what about just basic 16th's?

What do I need to do to make them sound good. Humanize them? Delay?

Thanks

More importantly find a hihat sound that fits in with the other instruments in your mix
