Get a real HiHat-machine!
Felix987 29.12.2015
If you're a starter on the electronic drums and you got the Roland FD-8 already coming in the bundle, it is ok to start with. But my advice is to get rid of it as soon as possible. The playability (in comparison to real HiHat-machines) and the quality of the trigger is pretty low.
I have to admit that not everything is poor, the noise emission is fantastic, there is pretty much no impact noise going into the floor, you can really play this controller at midnight and nobody will complain.
But in my eyes, the above mentioned downsides outweigh this advantage by far.
First off, you really have to kick the controller powerfully to make the trigger realize that there is a signal. In my experience, you can only play heel up cause you really have to press down the pedal "into the floor". Heel down is possible, but there will be a lot of misstriggers that you won't have with a real HiHat-machine.
And second, the whole controller works pretty spongy, it has a very unnatural feeling and kind of "wobbles around" while playing. There will be no benefit for your practice. And that is actually what electronic drums are made for (at least for the most part): practicing at home to implement these things on the acoustic drumkit later on. Not possible with this controller in my eyes.
I would always go for a real HiHat-machine!

Good controller but it can be damaged easily , so I recommend the FD-9 as it's more premium .

Excellent quality and feel as to be expected from Roland. I'm used to playing electronic hi-hats and this pedal is as good as they get!

Bon produit mais viellis très mal.
Cédric4614 17.08.2015
Acheté pour remplacer une ancienne FD-8 pour ma TD6.

Cette pédale donne entière satisfaction lorsqu'elle est neuve. En revanche au bout de trois à quatre ans d'utilisation elle perd de sa sensibilité (difficile d'avoir une position fermée).

J'ai pourtant suivi pas mal de tutoriels sur internet pour la réparer, mais cela n'a pas été très concluant.

Bref fait le job mais pas très durable comparé au reste des éléments Roland.
