Greetings. I've had the privilege of playing both the V-Pro and V-Custom kits a couple of times this week at a local store and have fallen in love with them. However, being an acoustic drummer for many years I've never been completely satisfied with any electronic hi-hat, though Roland is closer than most. The FD-7 hi-hat pedal seems very touchy to me and I'm hoping someone may know of an adjustment or parameter that may help with this, hopefully for a TD-8 setup.
My main gripe is that the pedal/module combo goes from full-closed to full-open hat over a very tiny range of motion. I would like to increase this range. In other words, I'd like to have more pedal mobility in the half-open range. As it is from the factory, just when I start adding some nice variations and accents in the half-open positions SNAP... one wrong move and I've accidentally closed them when I didn't mean to. They just seem too touchy for this kind of intricate work.
Please tell me if there is a remedy. Thanks for any feedback.
Respectfully,
Brian James
