Roland VH14D Digital V-Hi Hat

Roland’s digital pads elevate electronic drumming to the next level` working in harmony with high-speed processing in supported V-Drums sound modules to provide the ultimate expressive experience. Capturing the most subtle playing nuances with astonishing detail and definition` our digital pads bring electronic drums to life like never before.

The groundbreaking VH-14D launches the electronic hi-hat into a new universe of playability` offering touch sensitivity` tonal variation` and open/closed resolution that’s never been available until now. The two-piece design and thin 14-inch pads provide a familiar look and natural feel` while the high-resolution` multi-sensor system tracks velocity` stick position` and foot work with maximum precision. Foot splashes are reproduced authentically` and you can even mute the cymbals with a hand touch—just like acoustic hi-hats.

The VH-14D is the perfect complement to the PD-140S digital snare and CY-18DR digital ride` bringing Roland’s powerful digital advantages to the three most nuanced pieces in your kit.

For the most expressive VH-14D experience` you’ll want to use it with the flagship TD-50X sound module or a TD-50 module with the TD-50X upgrade installed. These modules include new sounds that are fully optimized for the VH-14D. Standard TD-50 and TD-27 modules are also compatible with the VH-14D via a free system update. This provides support for the VH-14D’s enhanced detection capabilities` but no new sounds are included.

• High-resolution sound triggering designed for use with the TD-50X and compatible Roland sound modules with digital trigger inputs
• Top and bottom 14-inch pads with thin profiles for authentic feel and playability
• Precision tracking of velocity` stick position` and foot pedal work
• Wide-range touch sensors allow you to mute the cymbals with your hand
• Mounts to a regular acoustic hi-hat stand
