Any chance of sharing your percussion defs?
Just curious about your specific approach here. I have a nasty snare one I love to use with WAY too many parameters haha. It really ought to just be multiple different synths
Hats are tricky. I usually use additive synthesis with a bit of noise to taste, though I’ve seen people use FM (mostly on YouTube in a “make a hi hat with Ableton Operator” kind of thing)
For hats, stacking up a bunch of FM’d square waves can get pretty metally as a base sound. I usually just go for some approximation of filtered noise + comb, maybe a small amount of distortion and a smidge of very short reverb…but yea depends on whats around them and style of the snare.
