Thanks so much for doing this video. I haven't been able to get the VH-11s to close properly or perform like a real hi-hat for months until I watched this. I didn't realise the importance of placing the hat just resting on top of the sensor below. I was thinking of investing in the VH-13s before watching this, so you saved me some cash, too. Big thanks, Dan 🙂
From my personal experience with the Roland TD-9 and TD-30 the best response experience I had was with the combination of the FD-8 pedal and the CY-12R cymbal that I used for the Hi-Hat. The TD-30 module software supports it, the response is phenomenal, in my opinion, better than the VH-11, which is certainly much more expensive.
Im a little bit confused. As soon as I loosen the clutch to calibrate, the hihat drops down, making it impossible to calibrate. How is it supposed to work ?
Thank you so much! ı have question I have the exact same kit but, my hi hat started to spin around when I hit it (play) ? Cant find the solution. It spins and as you know you have the hit the exact opposite of the Roland remark but it spins cant hit it.?? Any advise? Thanks
@@larsulrich26ulrich42 It's because the hi hat stand rod (the rod that you clamp the VH-11 onto) is not tight. It can't spin if it's clamped on to the rod tightly and the rod itself is very tight. A good way to tighten the rod is to clamp the VH-11 onto it as tight as you can, then turn the VH-11 clockwise, since it's attached to the rod and you're using the VH-11 as leverage to grab onto the thin rod. Once you can't turn it anymore, then losen the VH-11 and turn it to where the Roland logo should be, then tighten again.
Hi Kevin, many thanks but a little confused as I am not too sure what part you're referring to? The hi-hat stand I am fitting the VH-11 onto is a bog standard acoustic Hi-Hat stand and the items I fit onto it are exactly in the normal installation process. I'll gladly offer pointers if you could clarify what parts you feel are missed :)
@@Dan_ClarkeMusic hey Dan, sorry for the confusion, I see now that I worded my question poorly. My problem was that I messed up when reassembling the clutch. Once I looked at the clutch diagram in the vh11 manual, it became clear why my clutch had issues and I was then able to follow this video with no issues once I reassembled the clutch. Cheers
The arrows on my TD9 are both at the bottom? If I line the hihat up with them there is no movement in the hihat? (Pedal is sold can't move down more) can you help?

Very helpful, thanks! Didnt know the positioning above the sensor was so important, instantly made my hi hats sound better!

Great Video, thank you
extremely useful..thanks!
thanks dude this is what i needed
Vers.good .very clear .thank you
Thank you so much. Well done!
I'm confused. How does it stay calibrated if you go and loosen the clutch and move the hat again?
I was wondering the same thing. Dan, could you assist?

Me too!
Same
my hi-hat turns. How can I place it where the logo stays in the same place?
ruclips.net/video/dw6hT4CfuRI/видео.html Could be the wrong hi-hat stand, or it maybe you don't have the foam side up on the rotation stopper plate.
Yesssss Exactly I have the same problem? Did you solve?

Can you use a vh11 on a td17 kv?
How is the bottom of the clutch set up? Great video but no videos show how the bottom of the top hihat is setup..

Td8 compatible?
kokia333 The TD-8 is a very old module and was released years before the VH-11 was produced. Very unlikely I'm afraid.
