today i wanted to make a little techno, but noticed that i haven’t got proper hi-hats and rides except for the ones renoise offers.
can anyone lead me to a good hi-hat and rides archive? thanks! 
dude,
sample or synthesize your own.
Thanks. That was great! Any more? 
Well, that wasn’t very helpful…
Freebies from Goldbaby:

If you like those at all, the paid Goldbaby packs are ridiculously cheap for the quality and vast amount of samples you get.
When Alien Drum Robots Attack is a great place to start once you’ve exhausted the freebies.
Sorry m8, probably a grumpy day…I have to accept the internets has killed sampling. Not that I don’t use the odd sample pack myself, but the most fun is grabbing your own shit imo.
From the aforementioned kb6 site I recommend the ensoniq and akai machines for large and nice assortments of hats. I am very partial to ensoniq, though, and your mileage may vary…
