Alesis Pro X Hi­ Hat Now Available

First­ of­ its kind hi­ hat controller delivers authentic hi­ hat playability for electronic drummers

Cumberland, RI, USA – August 21, 2014. Alesis (alesis.com), the fastest growing brand in electronic percussion, announces availability of Pro X Hi­Hat, a patented dual­cymbal hi­hat controller with true open, half­open, closed, “chick”, and splash triggering capability.

Designed to offer authentic hi­hat playability and unprecedented trigger response with Alesis’ groundbreaking DM10, DM8, and DM Dock, Pro X Hi­Hat mimics the movement, placement and feel of an acoustic hi­hat with the flexibility of an electronic drum pad. Compatible with acoustic hi­hat stands, the Pro X Hi­Hat’s design makes it the first electronic drum pad to realistically emulate the feel of a dual­cymbal system. Based on the type of contact made with Pro X Hi­Hat, the drummer will experience the same level of controlled variation an acoustic hi­hat offers.

“Pro X Hi­Hat gives electronic drummers the authentic hi­hat experience they have been missing,” says Product Manager Craig Reeves. “We are proud to be first­ to­ market in offering this breakthrough technology to our DM10 and DM8 drummers at a breakthrough price.”

Highlights:

• ●  12” single­zone top and bottom cymbals

• ●  Natural hi­ hat playability and feel

• ●  Create open, half­ open, closed, "chick," and splash sounds

• ●  Compatible with standard hi ­hat stands

• ●  Includes top cymbal, bottom cymbal, clutch, cables, and position sensor

• ●  Integrates seamlessly with Alesis DM10, DM8 and DM Dock

  Pro X Hi­Hat is available from authorized Alesis dealers with a street price of $99.99.
