Members kr236rk Posted November 15, 2013 Members Share Posted November 15, 2013 Hi,Have a Yamaha DD-65 desktop drum kit. It's pretty cool but the hi-hat sucks. The main reason it sucks is because the volume is preset and you can't raise it. It sounds like a whisper beside the snares for example. In fact I don't use it at all because it is so rubbish. All the other percussion effects are okay, only the hi-hat spoils the fun.There are several drum kits like the DD-65 out there - do any of them have a dedicated control for the hi-hat please?Or is there a separate electro hi-hat module I could use alongside the DD-65, a module I could adjust the volume for?Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members T J Shaw Posted November 20, 2013 Members Share Posted November 20, 2013 Not sure about desktop kits, but I am looking for a great new Yamaha electronic drum kit - perhaps a DTX? Any thoughts on these? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members kr236rk Posted November 20, 2013 Author Members Share Posted November 20, 2013 Most Yamaha kit is great but there is still the issue of the fixed hi-hat volume. I will probably end up using a real hi-hat and recording it separately. Brushes are also an issue with electro kits and if you tend towards a jazz feel to percussion the loss of hi-hat and brushes begins to really compromise what is possible. But I am not a percussionist, I use the desktop kit to fill out compositions, and for that it is worth its weight Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
