VH-12 Clutch & Rotation Stopper Setup
Similar to the CY-Series ride and crash cymbals, the VH-12 V-Hi-Hat uses a rotation stopper
device to stop the bottom pad from spinning on the stand, causing the edge trigger to rotate
out of position, making the edge unplayable, and possibly damaging the cables.
Proper Setup
Slide the bottom VH-12 V-Hi-Hat cymbal onto the
hi-hat stand. Make sure that the cymbal tilter is in a
flat position. If it is tilted, it may cause the hi-hat rod to
bind. Plug the short patch cable into the jack on the
inside of the bottom cymbal.
Next, attach the Roland supplied clutch to the top VH-
12 V-Hi-Hat cymbal.
DO NOT USE THE ACOUSTIC HI-HAT CLUTCH!
Slide the top cymbal with clutch over the hi-hat rod.
Plug the other end of the short patch cable into the
inside jack of the VH-12 top cymbal.
The rotation stopper assembly consists of 2 pieces:
the black plastic rotation stopper, and the cast metal
clamp that secures it to the hi-hat stand. Three sizes
of the black plastic rotation stopper are supplied. They
are marked "S", "M" and "L" on the inside (small,
medium & large). Choose the size that best fits the
hi-hat stand you are using.
Attach the 2 piece rotation stopper assembly around
the hi-hat stand, and loosely tighten the tension rod.
Fit the balls on the ends of the 2 "antenna" looking
parts of the rotation stopper into the slots on the
bottom of the bottom VH-12 cymbal.
Before securely tightening the tension rod on the
rotation stopper assembly, rotate the hi-hat cymbals
so that "triangle" the edge of the 2 cymbals line up
with one another and are facing the player (this is very
important for the proper functioning of the VH-12's).
With the hi-hats properly positioned, gently pull down
on the rotation stopper assembly, and snuggly tighten
the rotation stopper's tension rod so that assembly is
under a little bit of tension.
Follow the owner manual's instructions on calibrating
the VH-12 V-Hi-Hats (TD-20 & TD-12 only).
Your done!
