Roland FD-9 Hi-Hat Controller

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. Features Low-noise operation for late-night practice (50% less noise in your practice space and 15% less to rooms below, compared to standard hi-hat pedal) Link mechanism allows ultra-quiet operation and authentic hi-hat control Compact design, easy setup and small footprint for home practice Use alongside other noise-reducing Roland products, including NE-10 Noise Eater Isolation Boards and NE-1 Isolation Feet, for quietest-ever performance Specifications Accessories: Owner's Manual; Connection cable Option (sold separately): Noise eater (NE-10) Width: 139 mm; 5-1/2 inches Depth: 365 mm; 14-3/8 inches Height: 158 mm; 6-1/4 inches Weight: 2.0 kg; 4 lbs 7 oz
