Roland VH-14D V-Drum Digital Hi-Hat with Advanced Multisensor Triggering - Manual (Page 8)

8
Different drum sound modules support methods of playing in
different ways.
Refer to the Owner’s Manual of the drum sound module you are using
for details.
NOTE
5 Use either wooden or plastic sticks.
Using carbon or metal sticks may cause the sensors to malfunction.
5 Use nylon brushes. Using metal brushes may cause the sensors to
malfunction or damage the pads.
Open/Closed
The hi-hat tone changes smoothly and continuously from open to
closed in response to how far the pedal is pressed.
You can also play the foot closed sound (playing the hi-hat with the
pedal completely pressed down) and foot splash sound (playing the
hi-hat with the pedal fully pressed and then instantly opening it).
Pressure
When you strike the hi-hat while pressing on the pedal with the hi-
hat closed, you can then change the closed tone in response to the
pressure you place on the pedal.
Bow Shot
This technique involves striking the surface of the top cymbal of the
hi-hat. Doing this triggers the sound of the head side. For certain
hi-hat sounds, the nuances of the sound change depending on where
you strike the bow.
Nuance changes
depending on the strike
location
Edge Shot
This technique involves striking the edge of the top cymbal with the
shoulder of your stick. When the edge sensor shown in the illustration
is struck, this triggers a sound on the rim side. Striking directly on the
edge (i.e., exactly from the side) will not produce the correct sound.
Strike as shown in the illustration.
For certain hi-hat sounds, the nuances of the sound change
depending on where you strike the edge.

NOTE
Do not strike the bottom of the top cymbal, and do not strike the
bottom cymbal.
Choke Play
If you use your hand to choke (grasp) the edge sensor after striking the
hi-hat, the sound stops. The sound stops (is muted) even if you simply
place your hand on the sensor detection area. When you strike the hi-
hat in the choked state, the sound is shorter.
