- There are two 12" Roland hihats that cost $310 and $430. Which is better? Is there even a difference?

I feel like having 3 hi hats as your cymbals is a power move
I can not tell you how much I appreciate your channel! Always such great information! You answered my question about what modules are compatible with what hi hat.
Thanks again for all you do.
I've not been watching your videos very long, but I've been drumming for 15 years now, and its hard to find people that have that look in their face when they play, like its all they've ever wanted in life. shear happiness and just enjoying the groove, in a whole other world. :D you are an inspiration to me! keep it up man.
I love your channel.. I'm always finding a video new to me that's very helpful as a professional drummer. Your skills and knowledge is very much appreciated. Nice playing technique, informative, answering good questions and mentioning things always in the back of the mind. Thank you!!
Thank you so much for all your inputs, helped me a lot. 🙏🏻🙏🏻
bought the vh-10 some months back. my first "not-a-pad-on-the-rack-with-a-crap-pedal" has been incredible when pair with a real hi-hat stand. before buying, i debated but in the end i was not convinced that the 11's minor metal upgrades were worth the extra money and i feel i made the right call. it feels great and i couldn't imagine preferring the older and heavier design. it enabled me to improve my actual hi-hat skills immensely in just days. happy customer.
New Subscriber here. I am amazed at all the great videos on the electronic kits. This is now my go-to channel before I buy!!
Nice you took the sample that virtual riot made with Andrew Haung! That's awesome! :)
Thanks, I am new to V-drums and I was thinking of upgrading from the VH10 to the VH11. Now I see that I am better off keeping the VH10 that came with my TD27 kit.
Great review Justin like always my friend!😎👍👊✌️
Im about to upgrade my TD17 KV with a new hi hat and this review has been really useful thank you
The video quality just keeps getting better and better each video, keep it up, proud of you
Thanks Blue! I really appreciate it :)
Great review. I love your thoroughness. You are the Jedi of eDrum tech. Like Yoda, you become one day.
Thanks again for a great product review
Great video and kudos for improving the overall production of your videos :)
Thanks for noticing Lorenzo!
Good to hear and see you playing drums Justin.
What kind of heads do you use on the drums? I ask because the converted acoustic to ekit at the church has heads from Jobecky and it feels like I'm playing on tennis rackets.
Thanks for the review.
My TD-12 kit came with a VH-11. I later upgraded to a VH-12, However the VH-11 triggered really well and the real reason I upgraded was for the feel of 2 cymbals.
Also the VH-12 hat works well on my TDW-20 module.
Hey Justin great vid!! Question; I notice your VH-11 setup has a decent amount of “travel” up/down space. I have the VH-11 and set it up via instructions in manual which only allows for very little travel space. It definitely doesn’t feel natural this way. Kind of “stiff”. It tracks just fine with SD3, EZ Drummer2. Do you find any triggering issues with the way you have it set up? Thanks!
What an amazing intro! :)
watch your back, Michael Schack..brilliant into plaing, Justin! great video as usual :)
Haha! He's much better than me, thanks!
you're welcome! @@65Drums
I agree with you the vh10 seems like the way to go especially if you're upgrading from the fixed hat on my td11.
I like that you let the closing song take its time. I jam to drum loops with e.pianos often.
Yeah I made that piano pattern from presets in EZkeys. Cool program
Thanks again for your commitment to compare! I just bought the td27kv and the whole kit is on 10 and sounds quiet. I can barely play along to music. To make it worse the hi hat is very quiet compared to the rest of the kit. Any pointers?
I cannot loosen the plastic ball on my VH-10, its like permanently tightened. And when I try to close the pedal I hear a metal noise making contact under the cymbal. Idk if the cymbal is completely done or if its something else
My VH10 doesn't seem to close all the way, no matter how I set the clutch. I press down really hard with my foot, but don't get that tight "snap" when hitting the tip of the hi hat. Any ideas how to fix this? I have adjusted the td17 and it shows the hi hat below the close threshold but still can't get it perfect. Any ideas how to adjust this?
3:10 very cool zoom and spin effect. I'd like to learn that transition.
Hi Justin. I was wondering when you would compare these. I currently am using the TD-11 Module and was looking at upgrading from my VH-11 to VH-10. I found the feel of the VH-10 a bit well "Soft and Cheap Quality" compared to the more sturdy VH-11. However, the splashes were easier as the VH-10 is lighter. I kept the VH-11 as the older module seemed to work better with the VH-11. I am going to upgrade the module and I will be getting the VH-10 as it seemed to have better accurate triggering with the VH-10 on the TD-17 and 27 modules. The Hi-Hat is still a far cry from a real acoustic Hi-Hat and I would love to see Roland actually take a stab at a real 2 piece hi-that that feels proper. On a side note, the digital ride and snare are just awesome! I always hated the hotspot with positional sensing on the modules. I stuck with the TD-11 module as I am using the PD-128s Snare. The digital snares positional sensing is great. Great vid as always keep em' coming!
Thanks for your video. I’m looking at getting a new mid to high end Roland kit have been using a vh11 on a Td 12 and found it to be a great up grade from the original Hi-hat . Looking at Td 27 and it comes with the vh 10 hhat. Is this a newer model hi hat ? Thought the numbers would go up ? My question is which kit do you recommend for house practice. I’m a professional drummer so want to get the right kit. You look like you play a lot of different electronic kits. Looked at the new yamahas but they seem a little lacking in the hi hat department.
Thanks for your time and help .
Do these two work with the Alesis Strike Pro? I am thinking of buying the Strike Pro and in case of not being satisfied with its hi-hat quality, just replacing those 2 piece hats that come with Alesis Strike with VH-10. Thanks and keep up the great work!
Hi, can you mount the VH-10 onto a remote hi-hat stand, for added flexibility? I would imagine one could, but just wondering if you have any thoughts on that?
Everyone, on the "Loctite" use the "BLUE" loctite. The "RED" loctite, it'll be very difficult to take apart later. The red is the strong stuff and the blue is medium strength.
yeah people make sure you check up on the loctite versions and make sure its not a permanent bonder! start from the weakest needed to keep it secure then move on to stronger if you are still having issues being a beat to your hats. you don't want to end up with effectively a welded hihat rod!
I'm going to each type on 2 hihat stands and see what happens. I never need to take apart my hihat stand. I just want the rod to stop spinning permanently
65 Drums maybe throw in teflon thread tape too as an option. itd be nice to see that comparison against thread lockers.
Greetings Justin, Billy☺✌ "Blue" Loctite is fine and slightly over engineered in a good way. I use blue loctite for my alignment bolts on my 2JZGE SC300 sports car differential for racing and back again for city driving. I can snap it loose with slight effort (on and off) make sure you clean the threads before each applications. The thread sealant tape that plumbers use is the most conservative approach. I'm old school, I don't mind that every now and then my drums move, hi hats spins. I like the ritual of re-arranging the set, makes me feel good. Hope that helps. Thank you for you're channel Justin, I believe Edrumming will only get larger and you will be an OG in this. ☺✌🌟🎵🎶
@@inlasttonowhere4459 Thanks for your insight! I know the materials but I meant for others who don't know. I think it's still sound advice to start from the weakest bond necessary (including the tape) more because it's hard to get good torque on a hihat rod. Even a weaker bond could be a pain to remove for some ppl!
Exactly what is playing thru the IEMs you are wearing while you are recording videos like this? Is the kit + backing track only? Are those connected to the E-Drum modules headphone output? I see every drum video guy wear them but not sure what they mix in there.
Nice effect when turning upside down!
Great production and a worthwhile comparison though I don’t know if it’s worth the extra cash to upgrade my existing VH-11 just for the few differences. Thanks Justin
Yoooo nice cover! Love your take on the VR mix. Good to know you’re an Andrew Huang fan
Got to meet him in person last year, really cool dude!
@@65DrumsI've never been more jealous in my entire life
@@Abandoned978 be jealous! Miz and Morrison, hey hey, ho ho!
I have the VH-11 with a TD-27 module, was wondering if you can use a CY13 (or CY15 if you want to go nuts) as the top hat, just to make a bigger playing surface? Might give it a try if I get 5 mins. Would save a king's ransom compared to buying the VH-14 digital thing ;-)
Thanks for the video! Will the VH-11 work with other brands, like an alesis strike multipad pro?
I just bought the Roland vad103 and I’ve been having issues with the hihat triggering. It doesn’t seem to be picking up every hit in each stage (open/close/half). Any advice
Cool review and I have to agree with Sal nice to see you drumming here!!
i asked my question about the VH-10 for a remote hi hat stand, because i intend to play the roland kit from a wheelchair. i have challenges moving from the wheelchair to a drum throne. therefore i plan to set the drumset to be lower than the average set up. the VH-10 on a standard hi hat stand, might sit a little to high for my comfort in playing. a remote hi hat stand might offer more flexibility. looking forward to your thoughts. Thanks, Justin
just bought a TD27 kit with vh10...having some issues getting the open and close to work smoothly....seems like I have to really open up the hiatus to get a quick open sound....I calibrated the hihats with the line in trigger settings but its the opening that doesn't feel great or consistent....any tips to dial this in...im tracking for studio projects and I can use acoustic hi hats if need be but I'm using ez drummer or stock sounds but I need to get the feel/sensitvity down so I don't have to set up regular acoustic hats....any help would be appreciated
one more question, is ROLAND TME-6 (Trigger Midi Convert) compatible with Roland TD-3 will both work together and you use more pads with both devices with more different sounds assigned to different pads that are connected to TMC-6.??????????????????????????????/
Is it normal that I have to step down on my hi hat pedal pretty hard in order to trigger the “chick” from hitting the hi hat? The best way to describe it would be the sound if you had it as Fixed 1 from the Muffling menu. I’m curious if it’s issues with my stand or the hi hats themselves. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
I’ve noticed the Vh-10 to not be very accurate with my TD17 module when doing quick hi hat patterns. Even after calibration, tightening my hi hat spring and messing with the distance between the cymbal and the sensor. I hooked the pad up paired with the FD-8 and it is much more accurate
Do these type of hi hat work much more realistically than just a pedal, or is it the module that makes the difference?
This may have been asked already, if so sorry. But will the vh10 work on my Alesis DM10 MK11 pro module ? All my other Roland v cy crashes work perfectly? Thanks in advance
Hi I have a TD17KV with the stock hi hat. Can I upgrade it to Vh-10? Do I connect the HH pedal cable to the Vh-10 control unit? Thx
used the vh10s for about a year before the thread in the clutch wore away so i can no longer secure them to the central hi hat rod. the £5 piece of metal is also not purchasable separately (UK) so it means they are unfixable unless you have the ability to put thread in metal. they were great while they lasted, just didnt last long enough IMO
Hey Justin, since you are THE crack on Roland Drumbrains, i could need a lil advice with my TD20. I have a custom Ride Cymbal with two seprate Piezo sensors. One for the bow and one for the bell. Problem is, that on the TD20 i can´t set a threshhold for the Bell seperately. So soemtimes when i play a pattern on the bow and if i hit a lil harder the bell is triggered. What can i do about this? cheers, Mark
I thought for sure you were gonna pick the VH11. Yes Agree, your playing on the VH10 was very eye opening in comparison to it's big brother,lol!
Can the VH11 or 12 plug into a TD3 module for use as a MIDI controller?
Justin. You should USE VC3 by vibramate for threadlocker. It is non permanent and keeps everything solid. Make sure to clean any grease too or the stuff wont cure. The Loctite or vibramate.
Hey Justin. Could I incorporate a VH-10 on my Alesis Strike Kit? My drummer loves the kit except for the hi-hat.
Now. I'm curious I ordered just the hi hat/clutch will it work through my td kd 17 with just the normal stand that it came with just upgrading from the hi hat 5 that was on it. Not using a hihat stand. Btw it's the vh 11 that I'm getting.
Will any of these hi hats work with the roland octapad spd 30? 🙏🏽 Thank you
I've owned and experimented with them both and I think they are both Great Hi-Hats but the VH-10 wins overall in my book as well. 👍
Wow I didn't know you owned a vh10!
@@65Drums I actually have 2 of them at the moment. LOL. I buy and sell a lot of Roland V-Drums Equipment. Some I keep, most of it I sell.
@@youngguns996 nice! I got an amazing deal on this kit, so i thought I'd make some videos on it and then resell it
@@65Drums I bought a few TD-17KVX Kits at a great price and I kept a few things that I wanted out of the kits and then I parted out the rest and sold them and still made a profit.
@@65DrumsBTW Congrats Justin! I'm looking forward to all your videos on your new kit. Enjoy!
Think the vh 10 is worth the money to upgrade from the cy5? and use cy5 as splash maybe :)
Hey Justin, can you do a video on setting up a Roland PDX 12 snare with a Roland td 25 module? There is no preset in the 25 module for it and I can’t quite get it to trigger just right. Thank you
I'd love to, but I don't have a TD25 on hand right now.
if you could have them at the same price which one would you pick?
Bonjour, est ce que le VH 10 est compatible avec le module roland td4 ?
Thanx for the great video... any idea if either the VH10 or VH11 would work with an old TD-6V sound module? I have two triggers on my TD-6V hi hat (one on the hi hat itself and one on the pedal) so my sound module does have separate inputs for hi hat strike and hi hat control but I wonder if the old sound module will be able to handle the new VH10 or VH11 hats?
Waiting for a response, I have the same module.
Did you bought the Roland TD-17kvx becouls i think that i saw it on the background 2:14
Is the VH-11 controller (the bloc under the cymbal) is compatible with the Vh-10 cymbal?
I have the StrikePro Kit and currently run the Go eDrum HH controller with the Alesis top hat. Which (VH-10 or VH-11) model do you think will be the most compatible with the Strike module? Are there any special settings/hacks needed for proper setup?
Great channel... thanks for all of your effort and expertise!!
Not really happy with DH 10 for jazz or disco. The open and close response time is kind of sluggish and doesn't play like it would on a real symbol. TD 27
What should I do I've? I calibrated it like the book says but does not giving me the performance. Straight rhythms and open and close is fine but when you try jazz or Disco rhythm... not good.
Its interesting. You VH10 has a different colored part than mine. The knurled nut that you can adjuston the clutch on yours is a dark black. Mine is a silver metal like the rest of the clutch. I wonder why that changed.
answered a number of questions Im having lately- thx
Will the Roland hi hat trigger work with the strike pro module...?
Hi JustIn, I left a message on 65 Drums community page, but dont know if anyone is actually using it. I was hoping someone could help me in regards expanding the pads from a roland TD-3. by using a Roland TMC 6 (Trigger Midi Converter). please can some one help me and tell me how to set it all up. what I actually want to do is and 3 or 4 more extra toms with difference sounds on the TMC 6 ,but keep the stand toms that are connected up to the TD 3.
I know that the TMC 6 does not have internal sounds but I am trying to actives using xtra pads connected to the Roland TMC 6 with extra sounds, but keep the stand toms that are connected up to the TD 3. please can some tell me 1. am I wasting my time with TMC 6 and cant active what I want to do with it? 2. that this will do what I want it to do and please tell me how to. set it up to use different sounds. I have read both manuals, but it is not clear on how to do what I want to do with both machines. I have do some reasrch on try TMC 6 and apparently it states I can do what I want to do. but on the other hand I have heard that it cant do what I want it to do . so I seriously need clarity on this matter. I am signed up to 65 Drums Community FB site. so you can contact me via FB on there or send a direct message to me. but I need to know how to. sort this out quickly and also if l need anything else? please do. get back to me on this matter and if anyone can post a video on this subject regarding about the Roland TD-3 and Rolamd TMC-6 Triiger Midi Converter. it would be really helpful as I have not found anything on You tube that would be helpful. I await a response. Thank you!

How do the vh-11 and vh-10 compared to the atv hi hats? I ask because i read on vdrum forums (i think) some guy went back to his vh-11 from the atv so i'm wondering if the vh-11 is better than the atv or not. Also i'm thinking about upgrading my vh-11 to an atv hi hat so this is part of my research.
I should probably cover that, thanks for the idea!
Is vh11s sensor compatible with the vh10s pad?
To stop hi hat rod spin put a nut above where the rod screws in and twist towards for opposite lock.
could you use a cy 5 as a splash or something?
can I put cymbal HI Hat kV to any stand or not ??
Thanks Justin 👍 I’d love to play the VH-10 one day, I feel a trip to the music store coming along. Nice intro btw, loved the effects you did! What are you using to edit your vids?
Thanks! I use Adobe Pre pro, those transitions are from an effects pack I bought
I'm so early there 5 comments now wow and great work Justin
Sup dude!
@@65Drums thanks for the heart
can i use the vh11 on my simmons sd-600
To me none of the major players get the hi hat right with dynamics and foot splashing and opening closing transitions while they are getting better there not there yet Im considering going with quiet tones for more realistic play
Did you try the v10 on Alesis would it give any problems?
Thanx.
Can I use VH 10 on Alesis Striker pro SE
Is it compatible with td15 though?
Is the vh 10 compatible with an alesis strike pro?
one importand question please? which is quieter?
Do you know if the VH10 Hi Hat would work with an Alesis strike Pro SE?
*Update, I bought a VH-11 and that works great, you can use the cables that come with the VH-11 and it plugs and plays without problem, no soldering or changing cables around.
Yes
How much better is the vh11 compared to the hihat on the alesis
rob1 the Vh-11’s are more responsive and play better with the triggering, it registers faster than the Alesis Strike Pro SE, but at the end of the day it’s it’s still has a limited trigger point vs real hi-hats. Overall I like it better, it’s seems like a worthwhile investment. I’m not sure if the VH-13’s would even be better (I assume they would, but I am not sure of their compatibility)
@@drewmusselman thank u for replying. I will get these. I have the regular pro and the hihat sensitivity is adequate.
Hey dude. First off thanks for all that you do for us drummers. Question. I have an Alesis Strike Pro SE kit and not really a fan of the hihats. I have tried messing around with settings (After some research) and it still doesnt trigger sometimes. Ergo I am thinking of upgrading so after watching your videos I assume the vh10 is compatible with the Strike module? Is this correct and if so how much of an upgrade is it? Is it worth the money to upgrade?
I also have a Strike Module and have tried the Goe-Drum controller, which was a minor improvement. But still not as responsive as I'd like. So I'm looking to pick up a TD-10, but wonder about compatibility with the Strike module.
@@bongodog7980 would be good to get a reply from the guy tho🤔
Our church just bought a TD17 KVX and I am not very happy with the response of the hi-hats (VH10). I did the calibration etc, but it seems really hard to get quick "open" accents on the hats (can't get the response like you do at 5:55). I also adjust the plastic part you spin on top of the cymbal to no avail. Any suggestions?
turn the spring tension of your hihat stand up
have the exact same issue, its because they lack a feature called transmuting
shady xyz I haven’t used the vh 11, I’m not the biggest fan of the vh 10, I’ve calibrated it as best as I can, sometimes opening and closing isn’t that accurate, I’ve read its cause the lower end kits lack what’s called transmuting. I would give the vh 11 a go
Guys can anybody recommend decent stand going well with vh10? Thanks!
Hey Justin - Do you know if the VH-10 is compatible with the Strike module? Will it be an improvement over my current setup (a Goe-Drum controller paired with a basic dual zone Alesis cymbal pad) I'm also using Superior Drummer3, so I will have more parameters for fine tuning the control.
I've been told that yes it's compatible and a nice upgrade.
@@65Drums Excellent! Found a great deal on eBay... it's on the way. Thanks for the reply!
Can either of these be used with an Alesis Strike Kit? Love the channel by the way! Subscribed.
Nevermore Records, LLC yes
Hi, Justin! Love your channel! Question-I just bought a VH-10 and have one question to ask to make sure my hats aren’t defective. When clamped to the hi hat rod, which is tightened well and doesn’t turn, if I hold the edge of the hat and gently try to move it side to side laterally, it isn’t fixed in position but moves either way about an inch or inch and a half. Does mine have too much play laterally? Or is that normal?
I know this may sound silly, but my VH-10 doesn’t seem to be very accurate and I’m wondering if the play I notice is a clue that they have a manufacturing defect.
Thanks, Justin!
have you calibrated it using the built-in hi hat settings? ive found the vh-10 isnt that accurate as well. especially when choking, because the hat sways it moves the hi hat module and it thinks the hats closing slightly. I've read online its because they lack 'transmuting'
For same price would you buy vh11 or vh10?
Would rubber washers instead of felt on the clutch reduce spinning?
Unfortunately no, the rod is whats spinning
Does the Vh-10 hi-hat work with other drum modules that are not roland such as alesis strike module?
Yes very common to replace them with one of these two options. Which is why I'm watching this.
Can I use the Vh-10 on the Alesis Crimson II? Great video and channel!
Did you ever find out the answer to this? I'm looking at adding a vh10 to my crimson 2 now.
Can I add the VH-11 to the TD-11 kit?
I noticed my TD11 module only shows the VH-11 in pad choices. Will that setting work the same if I buy a VH-10 pad?
I was wondering the same thing
when did the Roland TD 3 come out?
Good editing
Thanks!
Could vh10 be used on Td 11 module?
Hey Justin great video was very helpful as I am planning to buy an e-drum soon, I have chosen three e-drum kits and I'm not sure which one to buy , the three kits are yamaha dtx562k , alesis dm10 mk2 pro and yamaha dtx582k....pls tell me which one u feel is the best and let me know
