RHH135 Real Electronic Hi-Hat Controller - (mounts on HH stand, not included), Black, medium

Ok.. I did have one problem but otherwise it's a 5 stars product. My high-hat stand for my acoustic drum set is an older DW 5000 series. The clutch wouldn't fit on the shaft and I bought a different stand (a Pearl 600 series) and it didn't fit that one either. I finally took the clutch with me to a music store and found that the Yamaha HH stand and the Tama Iron Cobra 200 hHH stand have smaller diameter shafts which the clutch fits upon with no problems. It works great, feels great. I'm using mine with a DTX-502 module.

If I could give 10 stars I would rec'd symbol within a week wasn't working properly called company said absolutely np will send you a prepaid label to send back and we will send new one out within 5 days rec'd new one. Works perfectly.. definitely will buy from this company again...Thank You

Use with my Yamaha DTX 502 drum module and DTX pads. Great addition, very realistic and easy to assemble on my hi hat stand. I'm not sure that this hi hat controller can be used with any other electronic drum manufacturer's equipment but it does work well with my Yamaha equipment. Very pleased with my purchase.

There is a learning curve. As typical with Yamaha DTX products, the "manual" is written in 5000 languages including cuneiform and scattered hither and yon. At first I was unable to get several of the responses I desired and the weight of the "disk" loosened the rod in my high dollar hi-hat whereas I went and purchased a couple of metric nuts to "counter-lock" the rod from tuning. After this...progress. Negs: The actual strike zones are about a third of the pie....not PI 3.1416. If you look at the cheaper two zone HHs, that is the range you have to work in. You can't do Max Roach under slaps or Buddy Rich two stick triplet rolls. They do not respond as fast as acoustic cymbals. Pos: You save a bundle in tones with an upper end DTX module. The cables are very good quality. It looks good. All the parts you need are there. It has a locking "stem" to keep the disc from rotating once its locked in.Yes Steve Gadd fans, it does "splash" when you pop it on the HH pedal.It doesn't chew up the upper shaft of your sticks. It doesn't cost $500+ dollars as a pair of Master Works. If I needed to, I would buy them again.

After about 2 weeks I still have no figured out a good way to get a solid trigger on the hi hat rim. foot and bell work great but the rim only trigger every other time. It may be a setting issue but we're getting into hour 4 of troubleshooting. At this point I almost need a drum tech to use my gear as a beginner.
