Hi tivi
I think the reason you have not got a response on this yet is that it should work fine - and what problem you are having is not entirely clear.
With my td-11 the FD-7 plugged straight in and works great open/closed/everything in between--
West London, UK.
TD-11 module | DTXplorer rack | 3 x tp65 | 12" millenuim mesh head snare | cy-5, pcy65s and pcy150 cymbals | fd8 hh | krigg kick trigger w/ mapex raptor pedal.

Another reason might be that it's all explained in the manual!
See page 128 and following on how to adjust hihat settings.
The FD-8 setting is closest to your FD-7, so select this. For the correct pad-type, refer to the spreadsheet on page 126!

I had a 30 module for a while and an FD-7 with it.
I found the physical screw on the FD-7 affected it a lot. Basically I adjusted the screw to get maximum travel,
then calibrated it on the TD-30. My FD-7 came with a narrow travel on the screw adjust, which wasn't what I wanted,
a little movement went from fully open to fully closed, which made it hard to control the hat.
I preferred the large pedal movement, which made it easier (but not all the way to easy) to get the slightly open sounds.
I didn't have the TD-30/fd-7 combo that long, if I had it longer I would have adjusted the FD-7 to match the travel of an acoustic.Last edited by kurth83; 02-27-14, 03:20 PM.Mini-kit: TD-9 + Alesis Control Pad + Alesis Sample Pad + PDX-6 snare

I read a recent thread on hat travel over at drummer world, the rule of thmb there is two fingers, or about an inch of travel.
Although drummers being drummers there was a lot of variation on that theme.
That's about what all the Roland pedals give you when adjustedfor maxmum travel.
