Detail 01
Controller pedal, not a cymbal pad
It reads your foot position. You still need a hi-hat cymbal pad to strike.

YamahaRHH135 Real Electronic Hi-hat Controller
1/8
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Yamaha's hi-hat controller pedal for electronic kits — gives you continuous open/closed motion instead of a two-state switch. For drummers building or upgrading a Yamaha e-kit.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Drummers who need real foot control over hi-hat openness
- Upgrading an e-kit that shipped with a basic on/off pedal
- Apartment practice where an acoustic hi-hat is too loud
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Anyone wanting a full hi-hat with actual moving cymbals
- Acoustic drummers — this only works with an electronic module
- Buyers on a tight budget adding one piece at a time
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
Continuous rather than switched response
Half-open and quarter-open sounds become playable, so disco and funk parts sit right.
Detail 03
Yamaha module design
Built around Yamaha's trigger inputs. Check your module's hi-hat control jack before ordering.
Detail 04
Standalone pedal footprint
Sits flat on the floor. No stand or clutch to set up, less to carry.
Detail 05
$310 for one control element
Priced as a serious upgrade part, not a starter accessory. It's a targeted fix for one weakness.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Confirm your drum module has a dedicated hi-hat controller input
- 02No cymbal pad included — this is the foot pedal only
- 03Modules vary in how many openness levels they actually read
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?
No. This is the foot controller only. You need a separate hi-hat pad to strike, plus a module that accepts a continuous hi-hat control signal.
02Will it work with a non-Yamaha module?
It's designed for Yamaha modules. Other brands may read it partially or not at all — check your module's hi-hat input spec before buying.
03Can I use it with an acoustic kit?
No. It sends a control signal to an electronic module rather than moving cymbals, so it does nothing on an acoustic setup.
04Does it give real half-open sounds?
Yes, if your module supports continuous hi-hat data. The pedal reports how far down your foot is rather than just open or closed.
