The Korena take

A hi-hat controller pedal for Yamaha electronic drum setups. Adds foot-controlled hi-hat open and close to a kit or module that needs one.

Product studyYamaha HH65 Electronic hi-hat controller

Strong match

Who this is for

  • Adding hi-hat control to an electronic kit sold without a pedal
  • Replacing a failed or worn hi-hat controller on an existing kit
  • Practice setups where a full hi-hat stand takes too much floor space

Consider the trade-offs

When to look elsewhere

  • Acoustic players — this controls an electronic sound source only
  • Anyone wanting a real hi-hat stand feel with two moving cymbals
  • Modules or kits outside Yamaha's compatibility, which need their own controller

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 01

Controller pedal, not a trigger pad

It tells the module how open the hi-hat is. It does not make sound on its own.

Detail 02

Yamaha electronic kit design

Built around Yamaha modules. Check your specific module before assuming another brand will read it correctly.

Detail 03

Standalone pedal, no stand

Sits flat on the floor instead of mounting under a hi-hat stand, so it takes up very little space.

Detail 04

Foot-controlled open/close

You get open, closed, and pedal-chick articulation from foot position rather than a fixed single sound.

Detail 05

Black finish

Matches standard electronic kit hardware, so it does not stand out in a mixed setup.

Final check

Know before you order

  1. 01Confirm your module has a hi-hat controller input and lists this pedal as compatible
  2. 02A hi-hat cymbal pad is separate — this is the foot controller only
  3. 03Flat pedals slide on hard floors; a rug or drum mat helps keep it in place

Product questions

Before you decide

Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.

01Does this come with a hi-hat cymbal pad?

No. This is the foot controller. The hi-hat pad that you strike with a stick is a separate piece.

02Will it work with a non-Yamaha module?

It is designed for Yamaha electronic kits. Other brands use different controller signals, so check your module's compatibility list before buying.

03Can I use it with an acoustic hi-hat?

No. It sends a control signal to an electronic drum module. It does not operate acoustic hi-hat cymbals.

04Does it need a stand?

No. It rests directly on the floor, which is part of why it takes up so little space compared to a hi-hat stand.
