try 22khz or even 11khz and different bit rates.
remember the 909 used 8bit samples for the hats and don't they sit well!
another good trick is sampling some noise or my favorite is a ride or something at 22khz compress really hard so it don't die away and there isn't a clicky attack.. then detune it and place it very low in the mix (almost inaudible) just something for the drums to sit on.. sort of makes it less boring.

Compression generally will fatten things up and bring them up in a mix. Kicks and snares individually, ratio starting around 4:1, back off on the attack time to let the transient through, then lower the threshold till it starts to work. Fiddle with the ratio and threshold from there -- they interact. Your release should be related to tempo -- that is if it hasn't released by the time the next note is played, you'll miss the attack of that hit.
Another trick is to send your drum mix to a pair of subs, route the subs to left/right, but also pull a pair of sub outs to a stereo compresser. Return the compressor to a pair of channels routed to left/right and bring 'em up just till you notice a difference.
