PDL-HH191 Footswitch Hi-hat/Bass Drum Pedal Beaterless Silent Pedal For PD705/PD708 Sample Pad, 1 Pack

It’s compatible with Lekato CPD1000!Reasonable price is appreciated too.

I have been using a Roland SPD-6 drum pad for many years, for recording drum parts. I had been using a Roland DP-2 damper pedal for hi-hat, and it worked fine, except that it's a little square pedal, and it's hard to keep it from sliding across the floor when you play. I bought the PDL-HH191, even though it says it's not a universal pedal. And sure enough, when I hooked it up to the SPD-6, it worked backwards- that is, I got the open hi-hat sound when I didn't press the pedal, and the closed sound when I pressed it. I was still able to make this work, as I'm not a drummer, and I record my drum tracks one drum at a time. But I wanted more and better sounds, so I recently splurged on the Roland SPD-SX Pro. And guess what? This pedal works correctly with the SPD-SX Pro! When you hold the pedal down, it's the closed sound, and when you let up, it's open, so you can get those splash sounds. I saved a lot of money by buying this instead of the official Roland hi hat pedal.

I bought this pedal to connect to an Ableton Push to use as a hi-hat pedal while finger drumming. It works great overall. It has an impressive build quality. Feels sturdy and like it can take a beating. The action of the pedal is more like a hi-hat pedal than a piano sustain pedal. My only disappointment is that it’s not continuous control. What that means is it only sends on/off values, not in-between values. For me, using it as a hi-hat for example, the hat can only be opened or closed. It can’t be half-open. I’ve also used it as a sustain pedal and it works well for that, too (even if the action is a bit different than a piano). Overall a darn good pedal as long as you’re good with no continuous control, and especially very good if you’re looking for hi-hat-like action.

I took a chance on a Lekato PD705 drum pad on sale during Prime Days, which appears to be identical to the HXW PD705 pad, which itself is branded as "Avatar PD705". Confusing? Not really, it's all the same Chinese-made drum pad, and it's surprisingly good for the money. Hitting a kick drum with a drum stick is just WRONG, though, so I got one of these to take care of the kick from a FS input on the PD705. I was surprised how good it works, and it's velocity sensitive--it's not just an opened/closed switch, it must be sending a voltage over the TS 1/4" wire that varies with velocity. Whatever flavor of PD705 you have, you need at least one of these. I may get a second for FS2 for the hi-hat. For a switch (as opposed to a trigger) it works WAY better than I expected. Very musical; I plan on using the PD705 as one of several potential inputs through a mixer into a Boss looper pedal for live solo performances soon.

I took a risk on ordering this bass drum pedal after seeing that these pedals work for the Alesis Drumpads, however I these did not work for my Alesis Nitro Mesh kit. I have tried plugging them into the Tom4 slots on the modules as well as other input jacks with no luck.I do not blame the seller at all as they mention in the listing that it is not a universal pedal. I would look into Yamaha KU100 pedal if you are looking for a beaterless bass pedal for the Alesis Nitro. But for the Alesis Strike Drumpads these should work flawlessly.

I’ve had the Compact Kit 7 from Alesis for a while and it came with the most god awful, cheap kick pedals ever made (third picture). They literally looked and felt like something from a happy meal and moved constantly and it may as well have come with no pedals at all. I got this on a whim after someone reviewed this saying it worked with a different Alesis kit and I prayed it would work as there seems to be no other options on Amazon. Thankfully it works great! I thought I was awful at playing the kick but it turns out I’m actually quite decent with a proper pedal. If you have crappy pack in kick pedals like I did, buy these! You won’t regret it. I just bought a second one after confirming the first worked.

Una compra asertiva, es compatible con la bateria electrónica Medeli.

Built well and may work for others depending on the compatibility of your set, but did not work well with my Lekato mini electric drum set. It connects correctly, but the constant accidental double triggering makes it unusable. However the build quality seems nice, if it worked I have no doubt it’d last long. Noise level is very low.
