Hi-Hat (Vh-12); Cymbal (Cy-15R/14C) - Roland V-Drums TD-20X Owner's Manual

Hi-Hat (VH-12)

Open/closed
The hi-hat tone changes smoothly and continuously from
open to closed in response to how far the pedal is pressed.
You can also play the foot closed sound (playing the hi-hat
with the pedal completely pressed down) and foot splash
sound (playing the hi-hat with the pedal fully pressed and
then instantly opening it).
Pressure
When you strike the hi-hat while pressing on the pedal with
the hi-hat closed, you can then change the closed tone in
response to the pressure you place on the pedal.
Bow shot
This playing method involves striking the middle area of the
top hi-hat. It corresponds to the sound of the "head-side" of
the connected trigger input.
