Roland's VH-14D Digital 14" Hi-Hat Cymbal Pad brings electronic drumming to new expressive heights. This innovative two-piece cymbal pad provides the natural feel, dynamic response and tonal control of acoustic hi-hats. The VH-14D is a breakthrough product for drummers seeking an electronic kit that plays like the real thing.

14" Digital Hi-Hat Cymbal Pad for Natural Playability and Response

With a familiar 14" size and feel, the VH-14D's digital pads encourage authentic hi-hat technique. They detect the subtlest gestures, from light taps and shimmers to rapid-fire foot splashes. Choking the cymbals or muting them with a touch of the hand produces accurate results. The VH-14D's high resolution and wide dynamic range capture every nuance with stunning realism.

Multi-Sensor System Captures Nuance and Detail

The VH-14D's advanced multi-sensor system tracks stick position, velocity and footwork with extraordinary precision. Three bow sensors, edge sensor, motion sensor and touch sensor work together to detect the hi-hat's status and translate playing nuance into digital data with breathtaking speed and detail. The result is a hi-hat pad that responds like a living, breathing instrument.

Compatible with Roland V-Drums Sound Modules for Optimal Experience

For the full power of the VH-14D, use it with a Roland TD-50 or TD-50X V-Drums sound module. These modules provide newly optimized sounds that take full advantage of the VH-14D's capabilities. The TD-27 module also supports the VH-14D and includes a free system update with enhanced detection features.

Rugged and Roadworthy

Despite its advanced electronic capabilities, the VH-14D is built to handle the demands of live performance and touring. Its low-profile pads are made of durable rubber and mount to any standard hi-hat stand for convenient setup and transport. A 6-foot connection cable and all necessary mounting hardware are included (stand not included).

      Had gotten this hat about a month ago. Just got to say that the issues that I had with other trigger models (aka, vh-10) does not exist with this hi hat trigger system. Expensive? Absolutely. Worth it? I say DEFINATELY. The expressiveness of this digital trigger was effortless to set up. My TD-27 module had already calibrated and was ready to play by the time I sat down behind the kit. Only setup I actually had to do was just what I'd do with my acoustic hats. And, that's it! If the nuances and articulation is what truly matter in hi hat performance....THIS is the hat trigger system you need!

      It's simply the best electronic hihat available. I've owned all of the Roland hihats constantly upgrading every time a better version came out. This one is it. I love it.
