Product Description
Playing drums at home can be a headache. Traditional acoustic shells are impractical for late-night practice, while many electronic kits are disruptive (even with headphones), due to the sound of the pedals in operation. Roland’s new FD-9 hi-hat controller pedal is the smart way to drive down decibels. Designed for ultra-quiet home practice, the unit’s patent-pending link mechanism means dramatic noise reduction when the pedal is depressed. Expressive players will also appreciate this compact pedal’s authentic hi-hat feel, with smooth transitions between open/closed/half-open positions. With the Roland FD-9, you can play as hard as you like, as late as you want.

This peddle is miles above the standard hihat pedals with the rubber inside that wears out quickly. If you are on the fence for a replacement pedal, get this!

It works great with my TD-15 module. Awsome build. Cool design. Perfect touch sensitivity. Worth every penny. Awesome sound.

Sensibilità corretta, piacevole da usare, aspetto robusto, prezzo tutto sommato non esagerato per un prodotto di marca.Un miglioramento evidente rispetto allo standard delle Roland TD-1.

Bien mais problème récurrent d'élément en caoutchouc qui se durcit à l'intérieur de la pédale, à la longue. Je ne sais pas si c'est lié à l'usure et/ou aux variations de température (pièce dans une dépendance non chauffée mais isolée), mais les deux pédales ont eu le même problème. Pour info, si vous êtes un peu audacieux et bricolo, il est possible de retirer cet élément, de le mettre dans un verre d'eau chaude et de le passer au micro-onde pour le ramollir. Ça pourrait bien vous faire faire des économies...

This FD-9 replaced the replacement of the original hi-hat controllers which seemed to stop working after a while, like the original. Still seems to miss a few of the splashes but works better than the original. Time will tell how it works over the long run.

I’m no John Bonham, so I probably can’t pick up on the small details that are really good drummer would to offer for your consideration. It works well for my casual plan, though I am scared because I see that the sensor on these things goes.. I’m hoping that only happens for the serious daily drummer , or that the problem was fixed And that this is the better version. It’s probably the former, knowing how businesses work, but so far , so good.

Me encanto la calidad de los materiales. Se siente como un pedal de metal convencional. No pesa tanto como el KT-10, pero el agarre a alfombras o suelo es perfecta. Lo uso con un SDP-SX-PRO y la verdad es que solo lo conectas y lo puedes empezar a usar sin problemas.

What I like about this hi-hat pedal is that it’s compact than carrying a whole hi-hat stand. I can pack this pedal along with my KT-9 bass drum pedal in a foam lined plastic case.

I bought a used Roland TD-6V locally that was in excellent shape. Everything worked perfectly except for the hi hat controller. The rubber piece hardened up and couldn’t make contact with the sensor. I looked at and considered a few “fixes” but ultimately decided to go new. Seems like all the Roland stuff is expensive but hopefully it lasts a long time.

Iam a Professional Drummer in Los Angeles. This pedal has the pedal and accuracy if you don't have room in drum room for a regular hihat stand. The response is excellent and after adjusting the tension, it felt like a perfect fit. There is very little latency if any at all. It will also fit side by side with my acoustic Hihat to use as an addition to my acoustic kit without taking to much room in my hardware case, and as well, a low profile onstage.
