What has been done to these hi hats in Rihanna's 'Work'?

[Psalm]

Are they being pitched up and down? or is there an effect being applied here like a phaser or chorus?
Thanks!

Hi there,
I cannot open my daw to analyze the sounds, but as i can hear from my phone to me it sounds like there is a closed hat and an open hat , here is something you may want to make sure about
1. The envelope of the sounds, you can even build a sound from scratch if you can identify the tembre and envelope of the sound
2. The eq is what gives the sound an identity and dominance on specific frequencies i will make another comment on this post about more eq information about hi hats
3. Sometimes i use compressor on my open hats, to make the tail bigger, and it almost makes it sound like a ride cymbal and cool
4. i often make my open hats stereo it is just to give the sound a different identity compared to the closed hat,
5. I dont know if there is also something like phaser used, usually i dont do that if i would experiment just to see how closed hat sounds like with a phaser

Try putting a phaser on your hats and see if it sounds the same. To be it sounds like it could be, could also be a resonant filter with slight cutoff modulation

I'd recommend, if you were doing this in FL Studio,

Take a closed hi-hat, open the sample envelope tab, and activate the envelope. Give it a very quick decay. The rhythm hi-hats are pitched, so you'd have to either enter the notes in the piano roll on different pitches, or in the sequencer, using the pitch dropdown menu to automate pitch changes. Don't make any changes to the stretching properties of the samples, being that if you listen closely, the lower pitch "ticks" are actually slightly longer, as would be for lower pitched playbacks of a sample.

The open hi hat is just lower pitched. If you wanted to get the exact cut, you'd probably have to open the sampler envelope again and give it no decay, no release, and all hold, for the prescribed time that you'd like. It also sounds like there's a stereo effect giving it a little bit of wideness. Fruity Stereo Shaper mixer effect can help with that.
