Hi - really having trouble getting a hi-hat sound that I like. I'm moderately capable, but can't get it right. The easiest way for me to demonstrate what I'm after is via a song, so here's a really good example, Pink Steam by Sonic Youth

It's that tsssssy sound on the hi hat, even though you can also hear the 'tip'. I'm not recording 'real' drums, so can't just half open or loosen the hat, but using NI Abbey Road Modern Drums (I also have all the Steinberg on-board vsts).
Is it a compression/reverb/gate/thing?
Any help?
Thanks
