Detail 01
Hi-hat control pedal
Sends pedal position to the module so open, closed and half-open hi-hat sounds follow your foot rather than switching on and off.

RolandFD-8 Hi-Hat Control Pedal
1/3
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Hi-hat controller pedal for Roland electronic drum kits. For players building or expanding a V-Drums setup who need hi-hat pedal control.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Adding hi-hat control to a Roland module that lacks a pedal
- Replacing a worn or failed hi-hat pedal on an existing kit
- Compact electronic kits where a full hi-hat stand won't fit
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Acoustic drummers; this controls electronic sounds only
- Players who want a hi-hat stand with real cymbals on it
- Anyone without a compatible drum module to plug into
What matters in use
The specifications, translated
Catalog numbers tell only part of the story. These are the details most likely to change how this product feels, sounds, or fits into a setup.
Detail 02
Pedal-only design, no stand
Sits flat on the floor next to the kick pedal, so it takes far less floor space than a hi-hat stand.
Detail 03
Connects to a drum module
The pedal makes no sound itself; all hi-hat tones come from the module it plugs into.
Detail 04
Roland electronic drum system
Built for Roland modules, so behavior on other brands' modules depends on how they read the pedal signal.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Confirm your module has a hi-hat control input and how it expects the pedal
- 02Connecting cable and module are not included with the pedal
- 03On slick floors the pedal can creep; a rug or mat helps
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Will this work with my kit?
It is built for Roland electronic drum modules with a hi-hat control input. Check your module's input list before buying if you are on another brand.
02Does it come with a hi-hat cymbal pad?
No. This is the foot controller only. The hi-hat pad or cymbal trigger is a separate item.
03Can I get half-open hi-hat sounds?
Yes, if your module supports continuous hi-hat control. The pedal reports position, and the module decides how finely it maps that to sounds.
04Do I need a hi-hat stand?
No. It sits directly on the floor, which is why it works in tight practice spaces where a stand won't fit.
