Roland FD-9 Hi-Hat Control Pedal
The Roland FD-9 Hi-Hat Control Pedal is an advanced electronic percussion accessory designed to deliver ultra-quiet, highly expressive hi-hat control for electronic drum kits. Featuring Roland’s patent-pending link mechanism, the FD-9 dramatically reduces mechanical noise while providing smooth, natural hi-hat transitions from open to closed positions, making it ideal for late-night home practice, professional rehearsal, and stage use.
Ultra-Quiet Performance for Practice and Play
The FD-9 is engineered to minimize noise when operating the hi-hat pedal, significantly reducing acoustic impact in practice spaces and neighboring rooms. This low-noise performance helps drummers practice freely without disturbing others, even when using headphones. The innovative link mechanism delivers seamless open, half-open, and closed movement that captures expressive technique with authentic feel and reliable nuance.
Compact, Stable, and Easy to Integrate
Designed for convenience and stability, the FD-9 features a compact footprint and a solid construction that stays securely in place during dynamic playing. The pedal is compatible with any V-Drums sound module or electronic percussion gear that uses standard ¼-inch trigger inputs, offering flexible integration with your existing setup. Its familiar pedal feel and intuitive action make it a natural extension of traditional acoustic hi-hat control.
Responsive Feel and Expressive Control
The FD-9’s smooth movement and responsive design capture the subtleties of your playing style, from light touches to aggressive techniques such as hi-hat splashes. Equipped with non-slip feet and a classic toe-stop mechanism, it ensures secure footing while providing comfort and precision during long practice or performance sessions.
