Features

Similar Touch and Feel as with an Acoustic 

Hi-Hat

The superior design has taken into account not only 

the shape of the hi-hat, but also the bounce of the stick, 

and even the movement caused by playing, making it 

possible to play with the same feel as an acoustic hi-hat.

Smooth Transition Between Closed and Open 

Tones

When you strike the pad while gradually opening the 

pedal, the tone smoothly opens in response to how 

much the pedal is opened.

Pressure Sensitive

You can alter the closed tone by continuing to press 

harder on the pedal after it is closed (p. 10).

Allows Foot Splashes

You can play foot splashes by pressing the pedal and 

then instantly opening it.

Quick-Open Tone Changes

Get realistic tonal changes by hitting the closed hi-hat 

and immediately opening it.

Natural-Feeling Action

The top hi-hat weight, gap between the top and bottom 

cymbals, and hi-hat stand tension gives the pedal action 

an extremely natural feel.

Dual Trigger Capability

Sensors in both the top and edge portion make it 

possible to get different sounds by striking the bow 

(upper surface) and the edge (p. 10).

They’re Quiet!

Rubber is used on the striking surface for a damping 

effect.
