i remember posing this very question a while ago, i think the general response was not to compress hats as you will take out the harmonics. as for eq, im no expert. but id say experiment with it.
Sometimes I compress rides and hats with a sidechain to the kick. But I always have some clean hats in the mix as well.
Genrally as Col said, you are better off just using Eq and some reverb.
eq... do a wide low cut 2 get them 2 spread and sizzle ... do a little up notch around 8-10 KHz if u lik'em hard and ringy!
