Re: [Simmons Drums] which HiHat pedal works with an SDX?

2005-02-04 by Patrice JACQUOT

Hi Wolfgang, 
let us know if somethig else works ...The trigger of the HHpedal is an Force Sensing Resistor ...I doubt we could find any now ...I don't know what signal it sends but it's a continuous one with the position detection !?
Mine is unreliable as hell, I would be happy to change it .
Just for Info the Drumtech Pedals commercialised by KAT are using the same technology  !

Good Luck ...
Patrice.

  I just saw that the new Roland FD-8 HiHat Controller has fluent levels
  between open and close state. Maybe I'll try that one.
  Thanks for advice, David
