This is a continuation from the following post by @nicolai:
Alrighty - here it goes. Simple tip: Add variation to your hihats.
This can be done in different ways:
- Add ratches / rolls / ghost notes / triplets or doublets. Whatever feels better
- Vary the volumes a bit or even play with the panning
- Filtering can work too
- If you got different hat samples, you can of course also try that
It makes things more lively and less predictable.
