DIGITAL HI-HAT WITH ADVANCED MULTI-SENSOR TRIGGER
Roland's digital pads work in harmony with the high-speed processing in compatible V-Drums sound modules to deliver ultimate expressiveness and take electronic drumming to the next level. Capturing the subtlest nuances of your playing with astonishing detail, our digital pads bring electronic drums to life like never before.
The groundbreaking VH-14D brings electronic hi-hat into a new universe of playability, offering touch sensitivity, tonal variability and open/close resolution never before available. The two-piece design and thin 14-inch pads provide a familiar look and natural feel, while a high-sensitivity multi-sensor system tracks strike speed, bat position and footwork with pinpoint accuracy. The foot splashes are reproduced authentically, and the cymbals can even be muted by touch - just like acoustic hi-hats.
The VH-14D is the perfect complement to the PD-140S digital snare and CY-18DR digital ride, bringing Roland's powerful digital advantages to three of the most polished pieces in your kit.
For an expressive VH-14D experience, you'll want to use it with the flagship TD-50X sound module or a TD-50 sound module with the TD-50X upgrade installed. These modules contain new sounds that are fully optimized for the VH-14D. The standard TD-50 and TD-27 modules are also compatible with the VH-14D via a free system update. This provides support for the VH-14D's additional detection capabilities, but does not include any new sounds.
Sound triggering designed for use with the TD-50X and compatible Roland sound modules with digital trigger inputs.
