I'm struggling to make trance recently. Despite owning ALL samples in the world that allow me to make a good track making hi-hat sequences from scratch is very tiring and it disencourages me from further work.

Are there any good hi-hats from/releases from sister site worth downloading?

 

well what kind of trance are you talking about? nowadays there are 2000 genres called trance

 

Hmmmm... Hi-hats loops... I never found any loop interesting enough, sometimes I used them to go faster but they're really no big deal, they could be a pain in the ass to program, but actually, they're not difficult. All you have to do is to play with velocity to make them "dance" and flow...

Have a look at this (she's a quite good teacher for electronic music, maybe the music she's making would not fit your tastes but she has a real good channel with lots of good tricks and techniques to learn from):
