The Roland FD-9 Hi-Hat Control Pedal is a compact Hi-Hat controller designed to be used with Roland Electronic drum kits and offers users an accessory that lowers the noise impact of traditional hi-hat mechanisms and vibrations.
It also offers players with a high level of expression seamlessly triggering between closed, open and semi open settings.

Whether you're practicing at home or playing out, it's important to have a hi-hat pedal that picks up all the subtleties of your drumming style. The FD-9 is a great choice for expressive players. The unit's feet ensure total stability, letting you work the pedal as hard or soft as you like (with the sound module picking up every nuance). The toe-stopper is a familiar touch carried over from acoustic pedals, while the FD-9's smooth open/closed/half-open operation delivers authentic hi-hat feel. You can even pull off aggressive moves like hi-hat splashes - without disturbing the neighbours.

As your percussion setup evolves, you need a hi-hat pedal that can keep up. Designed for open-ended flexibility, the FD-9 is compatible with Roland's full range of electronic percussion gear, from the OCTAPAD SPD-30 to the HandSonic HPD-20. It's the compact, ultra-quiet hi-hat pedal that does it all.

The main features of the Roland FD-9 Hi-Hat Control pedal include:

• 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.
