Constructing a hihat-ish sound from random audio?

Autofilter was not giving me great results. The chain I posted worked pretty well and I went on to jam with it all evening. Eventually going back and dropping a bassline and getting a kick out of it then playing with some guitar over the top with it pushing out a cymbal and snare sound. Fun stuff!

Thanks for all your suggestions, I've yet to look into them though. Here's a short clip of the sound I'm buiiding on:

#1 - Review the use of Dummy clips to give any audio (guitar) you transform, a HH pattern

#2 - Here is my attempt at quickly transforming the audio clip you posted, into a HH pattern & Sound. Guitar clip (or live playing input) would be in 'Guitar playing', Live Efx to smear the guitar into noise a bit, which routes into 'HH transform', where a dummy clip with automation controls the volume of a utility plug. Adjust using the macro controls to taste. Copy and create your own dummy clip with a differnt HH pattern. Deconstruct & experiment.

Hm, I get a .sea file, which OSX can't open. Should I rename it or something?

That is amazing! Quite metallic, hi-hat-ish.

Grain delay should allow for realtime pitch-shifting to get the frequency up there, as another option.
