Roland VH-11 V-HI-Hat

Most edrummers know that the one main downside with the otherwise fantastic Alesis Strike Pro kit is the hi-hat. To be fair, Alesis has been diligent about quickly implementing fixes for complaints about it. However, IMO playability is still not quite right even with the new spring. Decided to take the leap and try the VH-11 with the Strike module. While I feel I didn't HAVE to (the Strike hat plays acceptably now), I'm very glad I did. It took a little adjusting of the trigger settings in the module, but I think the VH-11 has better sensitivity and easier to control dynamics. Build quality feels higher also. Feel of the sticks on the hi-hat is harder and more like a real metal hi-hat. It is a little louder compared to the Strike though, for those concerned about noise. Overall, a great upgrade.

Quit working after 1 year. Very expensive. Wish would have last longer than that. Will buy a new one next time.

I replaced a cy-5 with this. It feels more like a real high hat. I bought mine used and had always thought it was quieter and not as sensitive as the cy-5. I finally took it apart and found the piezo was just bouncing around in there. now that the piezo is properly fixed to the base. I really like this HH. it is build to take some abuse and it gets it. for an E HH It is pretty close to my new beats.

Feels more like an acoustic hi hat and has a better stick bounce than the CY 5. It is more stuff to move though.

This VH-11 came new in the Roland VH-11 box and had all the parts and wires to work the first try ... very easy to set up on my hi hat stand and works perfectly with my Alesis Strike Pro drum module... actually much better than the Alesis hi hat - which of course is why I got it. I'm using it with a TAMA two-legged hi hat stand and it is very stable.

While I like the VH-11, it's a bit expensive for what you get. Feels heavy and tends to rotate more than I'd like (thought wrapping the cable around the base has mostly halted this). Registers shoulder and tip strikes consistently. I've gotten used to the firm feel of playing it, but if there were more options - it probably wouldn't be my first choice. Alas - there were three options when I purchased this: the base two-zone, the VH-11, and VH-12. I upgraded from the base (good call there, that one was trash) and have been happy with the VH-11. My main complaint is getting the trigger/cymbal to the right positions such that I never hear a "click" from the open/close sensor. If I'm playing something that requires a lot of fully-open, fully closed hi-hat, I get a lot of audible "clicking" from the open/close sensor which can be distracting. I've adjusted things as much as I can to minimize it - but it always bugs me. If I were buying today, I'd certainly test the 12/13 to see how they've improved over time.

MUY satisfecho… se siente igual que un Hat tradicional… perfecto para estudiar y estudiar sin parar 🥁🤓

It seems to me that one day I will love the VH-11. But not yet. My expectations on the product were exaggerated, I assume. I haven't yet learned how to get the maximum out of it. Anyway, it's a Roland pure breed product and I would recommend it to any serious drummer.

ペダルだけの物は見た目やスプリングの感覚も違うのでこちらを使っています。 ですが本物のＨＨより判定が厳しいですね。ハイハットを開いた瞬間にボウを叩いても クローズの音が鳴ります。 個人差はあると思いますが，私の場合特にハーフオープンの時はギリギリで開けるので割と最初はイライラしました。 本物ならハーフの音が鳴るのに｢チッ｣て音が聞こえてくるので。。。 ここら辺も上位機種なら問題ないのでしょう。なにせこのタイプでは入門商品ですし。

These hihats are incredible sound so realistic. And calibration on my TD 17 kv was a breeze, works really well with the roland hihat stand i bought off of here as well.

Muy buen plato, la respuesta es muy buena, solo hay que ponerle bien la calibración y con eso queda al 100

Amazing cymbal. It is indeed heavy, as the reviews say. I have the Tama HH-605 (which is also amazing) and handles this cymbal just fine. Now to upgrade my KD-8 kick pad...

小学生の息子がドラムを習い始めたので、中古でRolandの電子ドラムTD-6KW-Sを購入。 しばらくは標準のハイハットペダルを使って練習していましたが、レッスンでのハイハット＆ハイハットスタンドとは感触が違いすぎるということで、少々高価ですが思い切って導入してみました。（ハイハットスタンドにはTAMAのHH75WNを購入） 本物のハイハットスタンドを使うというのはもちろん、ハイハット（実際はパッドですが）の重みを感じるペダル、ちゃんとパッドが上下動するので非常にリアルに近いです。 音源が古いので、性能をフルに発揮できないようですが、十分に練習になっています。
