Roland V-Pad VH-14D Digital Hi-hat Controller

The Digital Hi-hat Trigger You've Been Waiting For

The latest in Roland's illustrious line of V-Drums digital drum and cymbal triggers is the VH-14D V-Hi-hat. With independent bow/edge sensors and advanced play support, this digital hi-hat trigger gives you the tools you need to create dimension and atmosphere in your tracks just like a "real" set of hi-hats. Mount the VH-14D to your favorite hi-hat stand using the included accessories, and you're fully supported for pumping time, splashing accents, and creating dizzying variations of closed eighths, half-open flourishes, and bombastic full-bore metal washes. Whatever your style, the VH-14D's speed and expression are second to none. Even super-quick EDM hat rolls don't get lost when you're grooving on the VH-14D's soft, quiet 14-inch rubber playing surface. What really impresses us is the VH-14D's intuitive approach to sound creation. Footing, sticking, and even choking on these hats feels much like the real thing. What's more, the VH-14D's sleek, low-profile design looks totally natural in both hybrid and fully electronic environments. So whether you're incorporating this trigger into your studio TD-50 or VAD stage kit, the Roland V-Drums VH-14D V-Hi-hat delivers the look, feel, and performance you've been waiting for.

Note: The VH-14D's USB-A digital trigger output is compatible with Roland's next-level sound modules, including the TD-27, TD-50, and TD-50X. Contact your Sales Engineer for more information about module and stand compatibility.

Natural hi-hat play style support

• Open/Closed Play: Acoustic hi-hat cymbals offer infinite variability of sound as you lift your foot off the pedal. Much in the same way, the Roland VH-14D digital hi-hat gives a smooth, continuously variable tone, from focused timekeeping to a sloshy wash and multiple degrees inbetween.
• Foot/Splash: Pumping time and splashing accents sound and feel great on the VH-14D.
• Bow/Edge Shot: Certain hi-hat sounds give you a different response based on whether you hit the bow alone or bow and edge together. The VH-14D's dual sensors allow these nuanced variations to be sound and felt.
• Choke: Just like high-end V-Cymbals, the VH-14D V-Hi-hat has a chokable edge you can grab on to to cut sounds short. You can even play your hats in a choked state by resting your hand on the edge sensor to discover new effects.
