Roland VH-14D14-Inch V-Hi-Hat

Roland VH-14D 14-Inch V-Drums Hi-Hat Pad with Advanced Multi-Sensor Triggering

Roland’s digital pads elevate electronic drumming to the next level, working in harmony with high-speed processing in supported V-Drums sound modules to provide the ultimate expressive experience. Capturing the most subtle playing nuances with astonishing detail and definition, our digital pads bring electronic drums to life like never before.

• High-resolution sound triggering designed for use with the TD-50X and compatible Roland sound modules with digital trigger inputs

• Top and bottom 14-inch pads with thin profiles for authentic feel and playability

• Precision tracking of velocity, stick position, and foot pedal work

• Wide-range touch sensors allow you to mute the cymbals with your hand

• Mounts to a regular acoustic hi-hat stand

The groundbreaking VH-14D launches the electronic hi-hat into a new universe of playability, offering touch sensitivity, tonal variation, and open/closed resolution that’s never been available until now. The two-piece design and thin 14-inch pads provide a familiar look and natural feel, while the high-resolution, multi-sensor system tracks velocity, stick position, and footwork with maximum precision. Foot splashes are reproduced authentically, and you can even mute the cymbals with a hand touch—just like acoustic hi-hats. The VH-14D is the perfect complement to the PD-140S digital snare and CY-18DR digital ride, bringing Roland’s powerful digital advantages to the three most nuanced pieces in your kit. For the most expressive VH-14D experience, you’ll want to use it with the flagship TD-50X sound module or a TD-50 module with the TD-50X upgrade installed. These modules include new sounds that are fully optimized for the VH-14D. Standard TD-50 and TD-27 modules are also compatible with the VH-14D via a free system update. This provides support for the VH-14D’s enhanced detection capabilities, but no new sounds are included.
