Installing the Cymbals onto the Hi-Hat Stand
7
(5) Adjusting the Hi-Hat
1.
Adjust the gap between the top cymbal and bottom
cymbal to a clearance of approximately 10 mm, then
tighten the clutch screw.

* Although the gap can be adjusted to a clearance that makes
playing the hi-hat easier, setting too narrow or wide a gap can
cause improper function of the unit and prevent the hi-hat from
sounding as you intend. Setting the gap to 10 mm provides the
most natural feel when playing the VH-14D.
2.
Change the spring tension by adjusting the hi-hat
stand.
For instructions on adjusting the tension, refer to the owner’s
manual for your hi-hat stand.
* If the spring tension is too high or too low, the hi-hat may not
operate correctly and you might not be able to play the way you
intended.
* The tension may not be adjustable on some stands.
NOTE
While playing, the
“
7
”
(round dot) marks on the top and bottom
cymbals should be lined up, as shown in the illustration. The
product may not work correctly if the marks aren’t lined up.
Position the “
7
” mark so it’s facing the performer.
When Not Playing
When you’re not playing, secure the top cymbal and bottom cymbal
so that they are separated by at least 10 mm of space. Malfunction
may occur if they are not separated.
