Best Electric hat pad for Learning in a Low-Noise Environment!

I bought this pad a few years ago to upgrade my original TD-17KV. Needless to say, these hats were a HUGE upgrade from a remote pedal. They have wonderful stick definition. (for an electric pad) and definitely exceeded my expectations at the time. Setting them up was a breeze! (Connect the pad and controller to a module and calibrate in settings.)
Music background: Drummer.

Hi Hat upgrade

I love this HiHat. The Roland Hi Hats are honestly what drew me Roland 25 yrs ago. But this is the first Time i purchased a More Natural Hi hat (real HH).
Its amazing I highly recommend. Very natural Performance and Feel. I wanna play 24/7 now.

Great VH-11 replacement

I got these because I was having some issues with my VH-11 hats, I was super reluctant at first because these are cheaper and really seem like they'd be a step down. I think Roland needs to re-work their marketing or something because that wasn't the case at all. These are more or less just a refined/updated version of the VH-11 hi-hats. These have been more smooth, precise, and they just play better in my opinion. If you're considering these, and you don't want to drop $500-700 on some VH-12's or 13's- these are the way to go.

Vh-10 works great on Alesis Strike module!

I am not a drummer, but a guitar player who loves to play the drums. I bought an Alesis Strike set, and the Alesis Strike hi-hat was such crap, so I took a chance and got this VH-10 (was going to buy a VH-11 but this seemed to be virtually the same, but cheaper).

I cannot accurately describe in words how much better the VH-10 is. Even though it isn't made for the Strike module, it works better and seems to respond to the setting adjustments better. I can now do high hat barks, took some practice to get the timing though, and it is so much more like a real hi-hat. Buy fine tuning the black clutch thing on top you can get it to respond to the pedal almost perfectly.

Also, the material it is made of is more bouncy and the weight and shape of if it is more realistic. Not having the bottom cymbal piece is way better, that gimmick seems over rated.

Now I stay up all night playing my electronic drums and the hi-hat is my favorite part of the set. Thank you Roland.

Upgrade Now!

My journey started after switching my beloved Tama Kit to a Roland TD-11KV electronic kit. While the CY5 is functional with an FD8 Foot Controller, I missed the feel of a real high hat stand. After purchasing a PDX-100 (another good purchase) and BT1 a TM-2 Module was needed for a few extra inputs. The recent trade tariffs with China spooked me into purchasing the VH-10 earlier than planned. Now wishing it had been my second purchase after the kit. Its that good! Now that Roland has released the TD17-KVX this would be recommended purchase since my investment was before the release of the new model. If you need a good electronic high hat this VH-10 has a very comparable feel to my former Paiste 14" medium Alpha's. The weight, play, and response immediately increased my enthusiasm for playing on my TD11KV.

Simply put, modern electronic music wouldn't exist without Roland. Many of the electronic musicians here at Sweetwater cut our teeth on TR Rhythm machines and fondly remember programming our first TB-303s. We owe a good part of our careers to this amazing and innovative company. It's been fun to watch and grow right alongside Roland, as they've introduced wave after wave of revolutionary keyboards, digital pianos, and more. For example, Roland's V-Drum Kits continuously redefine the possibilities of electronic drums, beginning with SuperNATURAL technology to the latest Prismatic Sound Modeling. We're huge fans, and we'd love to tell you all about them. Whether you want a pocket-sized synth or a cutting-edge video mixer, if Roland makes it, then Sweetwater is 100% behind it.
