yeah, i think its the same that i'm talking about. thats the whooshy bit. hey, no one ever said you cant double up a hat with a shaker! in fact, i'm working on a groove where the shaker IS the main hat, doubled up subtly with some other bits for variation.

yar a few of my tracks have shakers instead of hats- in fact i also clip the ends of for that 'chick' 'chick' hat sound....

a good tip from steve was to side chain you hats- use a 1/16th note as a trigger and get that to trigger on the 3rd 16th of the bar...therefore for the first 16th of your hat its compressed and then rushes back up to volume- probably more suited to techno, probably something you've known for years but def a cool tip!!
