To solve this, why not just short the Hi Hats stereo plug to itself (ie make a switch that creates a short between the pointed end of the plug to the ground of the plug. I tried it , it works. You could probably use a Potentiometer and tap into the Hi Hat cable. Then adjust it to control the amount that the Hat is open. Mount it safely on your Hihat for easy adjust. You could even put a big ass switch in parallel with the potentiometer for "quick switching". Sounds good to me. Let me know what you think.
