Reaper gets my vote, but if you want truly free look at Cakewalk by Bandlab. It used to be a Cakewalk product called Sonar before the brand was dissolved and once upon a time it cost several hundred dollars, but is free now.

Yes, you can do it. I’m attaching two midi files for you. These use CC4 automation to mimic a drummer opening and closing the hat during a beat – that’s the trick to getting the sound. One file I just made to demonstrate the sounds – it has 4 hi-hat hits. The other is the verse to Welcome to the Jungle that gives a musical context for using automation like this.
