Man, this is the best (by far) channel for edrums - Thanks for taking the time.

This video just saved me a ton of money, time, and effort! Thanks man

Really helpful and informative video. Thank you and greetings from Puerto Rico!

Great solution for a tighter budget. Just upgraded my TD11 kit with this.As an added plus, you can use the original CY-5 hi-hat as an extra Crash2 cymbal.

I was hesitating buying one of those VH11 bottom pieces and using it with one of my old Cy-12s......glad to know it'll work just fine! I'm with you, I want the best experience possible, but at least there is a way less expensive alternative!

OH MY GOD.I was one step before ordering a jobeky hi hat cymbal with a controller like this although i have my own diy brass electronic cymbals.The typical electronic pedal i have is getting on my nerves with its unnatural response.Thank you so much for sharing this info.You 've made my day.Thanks again for saving me 190 euros!!THANK YOU!!!

Thanks Justin. Just tried this and it works well for me. Great videos.

definately using this for the conversion kit i'm building. going to make drum covers once it is done!

Good tip 👍 thank you ... I use a CY-12RC and heavy duty HH stand ... now much more fun to play than fixed CY-5. Cheers Paul

Cool video. I recently cut up fabric and put it on my pads to muffle my stick hitting the pads and adjusted the settings. So happy I can play thru my amp now.

Perfect, I see it as a proof that the Go controller works just as well as the VH-11 controller. However, I would see it's purpose as DIY controller for DIY hihat cymbals. BTW, Jobeky drums is using this controller with their hihat.

Thanks for the idea. I used cy 12rc and a cheap sustain pedal

Thanks Justin, I’ve had issues with my Alesis pro x hi hat for years now, been too stubborn to make a change cause of dough. This is a proper, cheap solution that works well with a diy pintech 14” practice cymbal and $20 single hit piezo box trigger, works well with Alesis dm-10 module.

Great job coming up with this hi hat solution! I was wondering if you know weather or not this would work with the Pearl E Pro kit?

Awesome! Thanks Justin 🙂

Hi justin, very nice and helpfull videos! I just got a cy12c today and yes my clutch from my standard gibraltar hihat stand is to wide for the small hole on the cy12c. I am just wondering if there is a narrow clutch like you showed here for the standard hihat stand or are you using a thinner hihat stand that fits that narrow clutch that you are saying. And by forcing that narrow clutch does it create damage on the hole? Thanks

Hi there, love your videos and they’ve helped me a lot with my acoustic conversion, but can I ask - does this module work if played under the hi hat pedal? I am just looking for alternatives to the Pintech hi hat controller ? Thank you again

Love the channel, it’s excellent! With regards to the stand mounted HH v rack mounted....I honestly do not see/feel or hear enough, if any, of a difference to warrant the cost of the VH11, not including a HH stand... I’ve played acoustic kits for decades, and electronic kits going on 10 years now. I find a good old CY12H with a decent controller plays just as well. It’s the player, not the gear. Although, I suppose application matters too. For me, a drummer in a new wave tribute, I don’t need whatever edge a VH11 would provide, nor do I need the extra lug of the stand. 🤷🏼‍♂️

With the money I save can buy more..... drums! Thank you!

QUESTION: Does the controller thing do this: vary the midi signal from 0-127??? I guess another way to put it: does the hi that controller module act the same way as a MOD wheel on a keyboard? Thanks.

hi Josh. would you know if a Dtronic hi-hat Pedal would work with a Yamaha DTX400 module? Thank you very much for all the lessons.

Hey thanks for the tip! I've got a question for you.... I'm about to pull the trigger on a used Roland TD-9KX2 kit that comes with the VH-11 hi-hat. The problem is, it looks like it's missing the big rubber washer part that goes under the sensor, and the top part of the clutch. Will I be able to make or figure out some sort of work around, or will I need to order the exact roland clutch that goes with it? Let me know your thoughts, thanks!

Hello from France, thank you for this very useful video. I didn't know this GoEdrum trigger. I was not ready to spend $400 for a VH-11 but I was not happy with the FD-8 pedal. I've bought the GoEdrum trigger for my old TD4-KX2 drum set and it's working perfectly with the VH-11 setting. I'm using it with the CY-5 stock cymbal but I'll change for a CY-12C because the CY-5 is not well balanced. I recommand this trigger for people who want to have a good experience for a really attractive price.

Many thanks for this video, much appreciated! Kudos to you sir!

What's your advice on alesis nitro drum, should I buy a hi hat that works and which one, how ? Or upgrade to a intermediate eletronic roland kit drum? Thanks

thanks for the vid! can the VH-ll hi hat controller be purchased itself without the top hi hat piece?

Great idea - I have the TD11K default HiHat pad - Can I use it with the GoEdrum trigger ?

Hey man, nice video, quick question, would this work on a let say, The new Alesis strike multipad?? Is there any way yo connect this Geodrum hi hat controller?? Or what will be the best solution for an external hi hat on this type of multipads?? Remember IT only had one plug That say “hi hat”, IT would be very helpfull if can answer me this doubt, Thanks and regards

What about the calibration screw on the Roland clutch. I see the Roland clutch alone on eBay for 90.00. Did the goedrum hi hat pad and clutch perform well?

Hello. Will the goedrum hi hat controler work well with a Roland CY-5 and a Roland TD4 module? Will I get the hi hat tip sound like when you press hi hat pedal strongly?

Thank you, nice video! Do you think it would work with a triggered acoustic cymbal?

QUESTION: If I use a Yamaha PCY100 10" 3 Zone Cymbal Pad (which is more of an uneven half cymbal, than a full round circle cymbal) Will it still work just the same? or will it be tilted while at rest and tilted while playing? I've noticed that other drumsets use that exact same cymbal as a hi hat but while stuck in place on a mount so it doesn't jiggle, never on a hi hat pedal. Which is why I'm curious. I really enjoy using that cymbal as a hi hat pedal in stores, and would love to buy one for this. Thanks!

Been a while but I'm using it with my CY-5 cymbal on my TD-17KV :) and it does feel a lot better than it mounted on the stand and sounds better too :) . Just when I do the foot kick the volume is a bit low. Still playing with it.. $75cad \o/ amazon same on eBay..

Hi, I have a question - is that working with cymbals from td 1kv and acoustic stand plus go etech

Wondering if this would work with my crimson ii. Which has awful hi hat response and no calibration option

Never knew this was possible! Looking into it.

Would this work with a Simmons SD600 module? Would the cable from the Simmons hi hat pedal go into the E-Drum Go instead, and the other cable go into the cymbal pad as normal? Cheers

I put 2 hi hat flat cymbal felt to keep the go edrum to stop it moving around

The Go Edrum trigger would work with any cymbal, right? What's your opinion of Pinch cymbals?

Hi Justin, I want buy goedrum ghc -an hi hat controller for use on my alesis dm10 studio module, can you say me if I need to install trigger firmware for pro-x hi hat for use ghc controller on stand or I just use my actual firmware for defaul alesis pedal hat?

This works with Alexis dm6 as well. Just saved me £256 from buying a dm10 module. Paid £45 for the controller on Amazon thank you

hey, i hate asking questions cause i love your channel and i dont want to act like its a faq. but can this work with alesis nitro? the 50 dollar one

Is it possible to get the hardware out of the vh11 coz mines broken and I was gonna use a cy12

Hello! Is it possible to replace standart hi hat pedal with tower version (real pedal) on Carlsbro CSD500?

Hi there! I have a alesis dm6 brain, which l am swapping to a Roland TD 3. I have a go drum hi hat controller with single input . My hat hat cymbal are from a dm10 pro 12 inch, my questions are ! 1.Will both dm10 hi hat upper and lower cymbals work with my Roland TD 3 brain directly or via godrum hi hat controller 2. What does the lower hi hat cymbal actually do, and do l really need it? Please can you give me a answer as soon as possible within 24 to 48 hours, l live in UK, so don't forget the time difference! I wait your reply 65 drums

Do you know if it will it work with the KAT Kt3 module and cymbal?

Justin a Quick question, how much is the diameter of the roland sensor (The controller)?

Hi 65 where can I find the elbow trigger jack please?

Hi there , do you know if a ROlandCy8 works with Alesis Nitro Module?

The goEdrum controller works with TD-1 module? :(

Would you be able to do this with a cy-8?

Great information here. To bad their site says it doesn’t work with Yamaha modules. Do you know anything about their mesh drum pads and their compatibility to Yamaha eDrums, specifically the DTX502?

Real question is can use use l80s on the roland and if not the go edrum?

Great video, very informative! Do you know of that GoEdrum trigger will work with an Alesis Crimson Mesh 2 module?

hi does any one knows of a system like this to make regular acoustic hi hatz in to ehatz? or this system may do the trick? thanks for the info in advance!

Hi Justin, thank you for your excellent videos and reviews. I have a question. Is it possible to adapt one of these type of hi-hats to my roland td1K? thank you in advance!!!

is the cheap hi-hat control works with the roland td10.

I have a question: where can i find a VH 10 hi hat controller? I have been looking on the internet for 2 days and can't seem to find it anywhere. I just need the controller, not the entire setup. Thanks in advanced.

Lemon makes their own version of the v h eleven controller that is basically exactly the same except for the symbol stay- That little part that keeps it from spinning. Great video, now I just gotta figure out how to Make that controller work With my triggered silent cymbals. Project beats adapter looks like it might work well... ....

*Anybody know if it works good with an Alesis DM10 module?*

Will this work with a Simmons Electronic Drum Set - #SD7K?

Hi, does it work with Yamaha PCY135?

I got a pearl e prove live does it competabel with vh 11

Maybe it's just me but I really don't understand why one would want their hi hat to be a little higher up when open, like an acoustic kit. What's the advantage?

ok perfect thak you very much, and thaks too for the videos, they are awesome!!

Does this work with any edrum cymbal

This is great but here in Australia the cheapest i can get the Goedrum controller is $125 and a cy12 s start at $180 second hand up $300. . Best scenario $ 300+. Second hand VH 11 $400. I think I'll go with the VH 11. Great video though. I was hoping it would work for me as it's going on a TD 8 and i don't think you could tell the difference.

so if the vh 11works with the td 6v(vdrum tips says) do you think the goedrum controller + roland cy 12c would work on a td 6v? Thanks

Would this work with an alesis dm7x?

Use a Sonor Hi-hat clutch 600 series. They will fit!!

Awesome thanks. Would this work with any drum brain? I have a Roland TD6V

Signed up with an Amazon deal and it's in the mail for $20! I can work with this, if it works well enough, I'll buy a remote hihat another Roland hihatdevice and place it using the extra plug in on my TD11

Hi, thanks for the video, how does the cabling work, are there 2 separate cables, one from the controller and one from the cymbal - connected to what on the module?

Hello just got my go edrum but my hats trigger hits the unit. Do you know of any cheap cymbal that I can use with the go edrum unit...I see go edrum make a hi hat to go with it but I don’t know if it’s any good at all? I have the Alesis pro x hats .my other cymbals the triggers are in the way of the edrum unit .where they hit the spring part befor the cymbal does. Hope you can help me out ..thanks steve

for anyone that's tried this controller with their hihat, how's the durability?

this is pretty amazing!!! but id like to see the comparison to the alesis pro x hi hat. its a 2 piece cymbal setup.

I love the idea of keeping it within my budget, but before I spend the money on this project, I would like to know if alternatively it would be worth to replace the CY-5 on my TD-11 kit with a CY-12H? Would the CY-12H be better? It looks like the costs would be a little cheaper with upgrading with a CY-12H. Short of that, can you just use any Roland cymbals to replace the CY-5 as a Hi-Hat? Would I get a better feel and/or sound?

I'm buying a TDK17 kit which comes with a CY5 hihat. I'm guessing I can use the GoEdrum controller with that as my 'proper' hihat?

Found the Roland VH11 controller for 98€ from Thomann and also from drumtec. Use it with a cy5 on a cheap HH stand. Way better feel than cy5 with fd9 (which was also not bad). Total cost: 98€ vh11 controller, 30€ Pearl HH stand from eBay.

Quick Question. If my hi hat hardware is too big for the hole of my roland CY-13r OR CY-12c, Can I just make the hole bigger using a drill? It doesn't look like there are sensors in that hole and it seems it's just used to put it on the regular stand. The hole just needs to be about 1-2mm bigger. Not that much drilling will be happening

would this also work with the Alesis forge module? love the vids man, keep it up

Will it work on my simmons sd-600

Thanks for this great idea ! I have been trying to save for a VH11 for years now , to replace the crappy hihat i have with my 2BOX set...just rubbish..never have liked it so i bought a clever little adapter box from a guy called Zourman, that allows use of the VH11 with 2box. Will this cheaper idea also work with the Zourman adapter? Keep posting the videos, good work !

what about the pintech hihat controller?

hello from spain!!! i have just seen your video and i have a question, i want to do that but ,can i do it with the cy-5 roland pad? or i have to buy other hit hat pad? thak you!!

Would a drop clutch work with this? (Do you think the weight of the ect make would be enough to compress the hihat device into the closed position?) Great videos!!

would the go e drum hi hat controller work with the roland cy5 cymbal on a Alesis DM 8 kit I have real hi hat stand etc

Where can i buy it? I have not found it on eBay 😩

Hi Justin, will (Goedrum Electronic Hi-Hat Set GH6) work with my Roland TD-11 module? Thank you and hoping for your prompt response.

I would like to know if this will work with the ddrum ddti module...love your channel!

does it work with cy- 5?

Can I use it with a Cy5?

Hi Justin. First and foremost congrats for the channel. I agree with everyone else here that said that's is the best channel for edrum info. Thanks man. I'm trying to do the same you did with the VH11 with L80s, but unfortunately GoEdrum don't ship to Europe. Do you now any other options that will do the job? Thanks in advance.

This is a very interesting video! They look almost identical and very useful. I wonder if there's a way to kinda remake the hi hat on the 30kv. The VH13 I believe it's called.

Vh-11 is FULL compatible with the following drum modules: TD-9, TD-11, TD-12, T-15, TD-20, TD-30 BASIC compatible with: TD-4, TD-6, TD-8, TD-10, RAW Compatible: TD-3

Cool video! I'm considering buying and an alesis trigger i/o, a Roland pdx8 and some Cy12c for making a custom setup. My question is, ¿does the alesis trigger support the "chokeable" function? ty

with the go edrum controller, the cymbal seems to wobble more when playing it closed. any fixes for that or it's the controller's fault?

My brother just bought an Alesis Nitro and he runs Steven Slate Drums with them. He was thinking of getting one of these. Would this work with the Nitro kit?

anyone know if it works with roland cy5 pad?

You mentioned in the video that you used a smaller clutch. Any specs on that size?
