Ideal for Perfecting Hi-Hat Techniques

The VH-10 V-Hi-Hat uses a single-cymbal floating design that can be mounted and played on a traditional acoustic hi-hat stand. It provides the same playing feel as an acoustic hi-hat with natural rebound feel and swinging motion of the hi-hat cymbal. The depth at which you advance the pedal of the hi-hat stand smoothly varies the tonal character from open to closed, and you can also use hi-hat techniques such as half-closed playing and foot-splash. The VH-10 allows you to express the tonal change that occurs when you strike the hi-hat in the closed state before immediately opening it. You can even differentiate between strikes on the bow and edge of the cymbal, too.

  • - Replicates the natural swinging motion of an authentic hi-hat cymbal
  • - Light-weight cymbal, perfect for foot splash techniques and quick pedal control
  • - Differentiate between strikes on the bow and edge
  • - Striking surface uses rubber for silencing
  • - Can be mounted on a traditional acoustic hi-hat stand

When it comes to electronic drums, Roland is definitely the top brand, although I personally prefer the Alesis Strike for basic use... However, I've put together a system using both Alesis and Roland, which doesn't cause any problems. The Alesis Crimson hi-hats weren't quite up to par, so I needed something better. Roland's VH hi-hats were a good option, being reasonably priced and featuring a real mechanical open/closed mechanism. They work well with the Alesis Strike performance module, which uses the same system as the Strike Drums. Overall, I'm satisfied. Electronic drums have become more about the experience than realistic performance, and I don't think the sample-based drums are as relevant in modern music anymore. The electronic drums are excellent today and can compete with any modern production.
