...depends on what are you trying to achieve IMO, there's not like a premade recipee
interesting topic though, I haven't thought that much about them and I'm still not satisfied with the kick nor snare most of the time so I'm completely focused on those

im sure i heard somwhere to add a pinch of distortion on your hats and cut the low out, maybee 50hz , then eq and turn up the level to suit, this should make em bright.

I've never compressed hihat's or even cymbals.
Don't see why i should.
If you compress hihats, you'll most likely kill all vividness, take away the freshness, spend hours on getting it right, in short, wasting your time.
Eq'ing has far more better results.

Hihats are already compressed when taken out of tunes as samples, so you don't need to overcompress them still.
One trick - if you want to achieve hihat snap, put a compressor on. Set treshold to -5 to -10 dB (depends on their loudness really), set attack to very short times (5 ms will be fine) and release to also little longer times (40-60 ms). Add the gain - there you go. You got yourself a snap on the hihat.
