Playing drums at home can be a headache. Traditional acoustic shells are impractical for late-night practice, while many electronic kits are disruptive (even with headphones), due to the sound of the pedals in operation. Roland s new FD-9 hi-hat controller pedal is the smart way to drive down decibels. Designed for ultra-quiet home practice, the unit s patent-pending link mechanism means dramatic noise reduction when the pedal is depressed. Expressive players will also appreciate this compact pedal s authentic hi-hat feel, with smooth transitions between open/closed/half-open positions. With the Roland FD-9, you can play as hard as you like, as late as you want. Low-noise operation for late-night practice (50% less noise in your practice space and 15% less to rooms below, compared to standard hi-hat pedal) Link mechanism allows ultra-quiet operation and authentic hi-hat control Compact design, easy setup and small footprint for home practice Use alongside other noise-reducing Roland products, including NE-10 Noise Eater Isolation Boards and NE-1 Isolation Feet, for quietest-ever performance Practice Whenever You Like With Ultra-Quiet Link Mechanism Even when you re drumming with headphones, the sound made each time you depress a standard hi-hat pedal is sure to disturb anyone near your practice space. The FD-9 is the solution, with a newly developed link mechanism* that gives a marked reduction in operational noise (50%** less in your practice space and 15%** less to rooms below, compared with a standard FD-8 Hi-Hat Controller). For drummers who really need to keep it down, the FD-9 works even better alongside the low-noise mesh heads featured on Roland V-Drums, ultra-quiet KT-9 Kick Trigger Pedal, plus our NE-10 Noise Eater Isolation Boards and NE-1 Isolation Feet. Compact All-In-One Design That Fits Into Your Setup The FD-9 is designed to make home practice as easy as possible. As well as being our quietest hi-hat pedal yet, the compact and lightweight unit is compatible with any V-Drums sound modules featuring ¼-inch trigger inputs. It s the ideal addition to your electronic kit and your ticket to professional performance in a practice scenario. Allows Advanced Techniques and Supports Your Drumming Style Whether you re practicing at home or playing out, it s important to have a hi-hat pedal that picks up all the subtleties of your drumming style. The FD-9 is a great choice for expressive players. The unit s feet ensure total stability, letting you work the pedal as hard or soft as you like (with the sound module picking up every nuance). The toe-stopper is a familiar touch carried over from acoustic pedals, while the FD-9 s smooth open/closed/half-open operation delivers authentic hi-hat feel. You can even pull off aggressive moves like hi-hat splashes without disturbing the neighbors. Create the Ultimate Percussion Setup with Connectivity to Roland Gear As your percussion setup evolves, you need a hi-hat pedal that can keep up. Designed for open-ended flexibility, the FD-9 is compatible with Roland s full range of electronic percussion gear, from the OCTAPAD SPD-30 to the HandSonic HPD-20. It s the compact, ultra-quiet hi-hat pedal that does it all. * Patent Pending ** Compared to a Roland FD-8 Kick Pad with Roland original measurement SPECIFICATIONS Accessories Owner's Manual Connection cable Option (sold separately)Noise eater (NE-10) SIZE AND WEIGHT Width: 139 mm - 5-1/2 inches Depth: 365 mm - 14-3/8 inches Height: 158 mm - 6-1/4 inches Weight: 2.0 kg - 4 lbs 7 oz
