It's not possible to change what's recorded form the input, but you can change MIDI event parameters at the output during playback or real-time input echo using various MIDI track settings and automation, MIDI FX or Drum Maps. Which tool works best depends on what you want to change. If you want to remap individual note numbers, assigning the output f the track to a Drum Map will let you do that. Track headers and the Inspector have settings to offset velocity, transpose all pitches, change the output channel., etc. And MIDI FX plugins can do most of this and more.

Ah ! I got a electronic drum kit an it's module can't be altered! So I'm getting open hi hat even when my foot is pressed down on the pedal! All works well apart from that ! Very frustrating!

Just use the drum brain while monitoring your performance, Then change the midi notes in the editor.
Open Hi hat is not a CC it is the G#3 and A#3 in GM and 90% of drum kits.
In the hi end kits there is some kind of variable that uses cc events but only some SFX files will playback properly.
This is why I monitor using the original sound from my kit. Then I can mess with Sonar.
In Session drummer 3 the Yamaha Birch Kit seems to work best for me. A lot of the samples do not respond to open /close , Snare rim shots and Ride bell tones.
Which drum set is it?

Did you read the thread I referenced? I am not familiar with the Alesis DM Lite but assume the OP was accurate.

Alesis support is incorrect. It has nothing to do with the DAW, it depends on the synth being used. Addictive Drums (which is bundled with X3 Producer) is the only drum synth I have which has a provision for CC hi-hats, there may be others. I would imagine SONAR 5 did not bundle a drum synth supporting CC hi-hats. I am not sure that feature existed in 2005. There is a free version of Addictive Drums at XLN Audio which may be on interest. Hopefully, this includes their cc hi-hats, I have not downloaded it.

I cannot say for sure, I do not have an Alesis DM Lite kit or anything that uses cc hi-hats. Try the free version. If the free version works, that may be enough because you could use it along with the SI Drums.

Keep in mind X3 is supported on Win7 and Win8 (but does run on Vista). It will not run on XP.

Yep, you need to make a custom drum map sending the hi-hats to AD and the rest of the MIDI data to SI-Drums, AD or whatever.

I dug around a little more, Superior Drummer also supports cc hi-hats. BFD Eco is about $29 on the street may be the best low cost solution with cc hi-hats. I am sure BFD3 supports it too.
