Plays like the real thing

This isn’t my first time using this hat. I bought a demo TD50 kit at a competitor two years back. However, I began having problems with having to readjust my hats every few gigs, then every few songs. I contemplated ordering the new VH14 digital hi hats, but with them being in back order, plus costing more than twice as much, I went this route. And I don’t regret it. Now that I have a new set, I think my old hats were malfunctioning the whole time. These play like the real thing. I sent my old ones for repair since I do have pro coverage on them. And I’m sure they will send me a new set anyway like they did with a damaged digital ride. But I’ll just keep them as back up bc I like them that much.

Needed the VH-11 for an event 4 days away and got it in two. Trigger pad functions perfectly no issues. I’m hoping I don’t break any more pads but if I do I’ll be getting it from AMS

I ordered this Roland vh-11 as an upgrade for my Roland Td-6v kit i have. I love playing on it. It creates the feeling of playing an real set. This addition complements my set making it sound great live thu a PA or recording. Well worth the investment.

This is the second time in about 8 years that I've owned a Roland VH11. I question why I sold it in the first place. This is the best hi-hat controller for Superior Drummer (Toontrack), period. Flawless response, speed, and realism, as long as things are set correctly in your drum module (in my case-- Roland TD12).
Still the standard, for v-drums, and for good reason.

This feels like a real high-hat, unlike the single unit that came with my original set!

Works Well With TD-11K Controller & Well Worth The Cost!

Product Review
I have a Roland TD-11KVS drum set. I had recently upgraded the snare to a PDX-100 and was thinking of up grading from the CY-5 stationary HH pad to the mechanically triggered VH-11 - but at $400+ (new) or ~$300 (used) it was a challenging decision.
So, I did a lot of research on the VH-11 online and tried a couple at a local music store; I REALLY liked how realistic it felt! But the question remained: how well does it work on a TD-11K? There's a dearth of information on the web about this combination of equipment... I finally decided to purchase a "Dent and scratched" unit from AMS and find out for myself.
A Problem:
At first I couldn't get the VH-11 to work with the TD-11K controller: it kept retriggering a close detect while in the closed position.
A Fix:
1) I ended up dis/reassembling the upper HH mechanism and found that the previous owner had misaligned part of this mechanism. This helped but didn't completely fix the retriggering issue.
2) What finally fixed the problem was playing with the HH Open/Closed adjustment: you have to make 100% SURE that the calibration indicator is set EXACTLY between the two > -- < arrows when the HH pad is resting (i.e. not secured to the HH rod) naturally upon the controller (the Manual does cover this procedure). It's VERY sensitive, so make adjustments very carefully. Also, you'll probably need to recalibrate this periodically (I have).
Once rocked in it's been very stable and reliable. Both the mechanical feel and the audio dynamic range of control is much better then with the original cymbal pad. And closing the HH results in a much more pronounced sound then the original foot pedal ever did.
Yes, it's worth the money to upgrade on a TD-11KVS system!
