What sound create the groove?

Hi Music Lovers!

What are the components of this drum beat (please exclude bass, lead and white noise)?

The kick and open hi-hat are self-explanatory, but what sound generates the groove? What is the source of this sound or how can I replicate it?

It is never one sound. It is always in how the sounds interact with each other, incl. how they interact with space/silence.

There's also a snare there. It's mostly masked by the hihat but it's there. The hihat is what's creating the groove/swing, nothing else.

There is a filter or similar synced to beat making the ghost/groove notes sounds different with every hit. I tried LP, BP and HP. Notch and Peak doesn't sound right either. Any idea what's used, please tell!

It's just a hi-hat and a couple of other percussion samples sequenced with some swing. The samples sound to me like one of those old Vengeance sample pack drum loops with all the low end taken out and stretched to fit the slow tempo of the track, which is what gives it that distinct character.
