If side chaining is going to be a prominent and obvious feature in my tracks, i need it to shine with perfectness
But as far as I know, sidechaining with a kick drum track is used in order to tame concurrent kick and bass guitar transients, so the hi-hat track can't be a substitute for this. I don't really know about sidechaining the entire mix, though. Maybe he's looking for a different effect.
