And "Dancing Queen" by Abba! My favourite hihat sound ever...
ditto - they sound great, but then so does the whole kit.... and that groove........ so simple, but pushed, pulled & accented in just the right spots.

things that might help ......

1. try to get some vintage hats

2. bury them in the garden for a few months - it helps take the edge off ( also don't clean em )

3. try to play on the hat surface rather than the edge

4. don't play too hard

5. track to tape

6. resist adding top end
