GHC-AN Electronic Hi-Hat Controller for eDrums

I did not know if it would work for my application or not. I have the Alesis Command module. I assume it works using a variable resistor, and I anticipated having to modify it to get it to work within the parameters required by the Command module. I measured the resistance on the Alesis Hi-Hat foot control and compared it with the resistance range I got with the Goedrum GHC-AN Electronic Hi-Hat Controller and they were similar but not exact (the Alesis completely disconnects on a hard close, the Goedrum still has a slight resistance when it's completely depressed), so I connected it to my Command Module to try it out, and it worked perfectly. I thought I might have to adjust the trigger settings, but no, it just worked like it was made for this module. That was a pleasant surprise. No two resistors are the same, so your results may vary. Good luck!

I really want to like this product but the unit I received doesn't cut it. I'm using with an alesis nitro. I tried both with just internal sounds and with SSD 5.5, and tried adjusting the sensitivity settings on the module. Nothing worked. It only registers about half of the time I press the hi hat, and never registers in the midi channel for fully open, even if I have the hat off so there is no pressure on the unit's pressure sensor that pushes in when you close the hat.It's a great idea and I'd much rather use the hh pedal than the stupid alesis one, but the one I received was barely functional

This module works like a champ with my Simmons titan kit whether I am using the built in samples from the brain or inside Logic as a midi controller to record drum parts. Definitely recommend this if you are missing the tension of a real hi hat feel.

I'm using this with an Alesis Crimson II kit, a DW5000 hihat stand, and Superior Drummer 2 via USB to a computer.I had to add a few extra felts under the hihat clutch to stop both the clutch and hihat pad from bumping the sides of the controller and preventing it from closing all the way. Aside from that, it fits fine and was easy to set up... literally just had to plug it in.In terms of functionality, it's not great when using the Crimson II module alone. I feel it is a sidegrade to the crappy stock pedal controller that comes with the kit rather than an upgrade so possibly not worth the purchase if you only intend to use this module alone. Running through Superior Drummer however, it is a clear upgrade over the stock pedal and behaves much more realistically.I'm happy with my purchase!

I ordered this for my Strike Pro SE on 12/23. To my shock and surprise it showed all the way from the other side of the world on 12/28!!! Even though my order said it would be closer to 6 weeks.I hooked it up and my hi hat plays almost identical to a real acoustic hi hat! No more fussing around with my old Alesis controller hat to get it to work like somewhat alright. It's pretty amazing how good this thing is, especially for the price. You don't even have to worry about where you hit the hat anymore. It can spin like crazy and it'll still perform like an acoustic set up.Alesis needs to buy all of their stock and implement it with all their drums that are compatible with this.

Not Worth the Money If I knew what was like before I purchased This Garbage, It is Halfway Designed it dose not work Properly . I am Designer and Manufacturer of Hi Tech Machinery and Robotics . I say when you have to Modify Brand new Product that you Purchase in order you have to make it work properly There is a Name For That GARBEDGE !! And very poor Quality very Frijole..

This seller is in Taiwan. If you need this within a month don't bother. The controller is great not I had to buy it from Sweetwater and will be returning to one of it ever arrives.

Works good with any alesis module I guess, I just wish they have a larger plate for bottom hat, so you can convert your set with two hats, it’s kinda impossible, bottom one doesn’t seat well on this controller
