Roland FD8 Hi-Hat Control Pedal Reviews
8 out of 10
"Good pedal, bad brain!"
Feature:
no features
Quality:
I've had it a while. It takes a lot of punishment, but works good as new.
Value:
Fair price for a good pedal
Desirability:
I love my Roland equipment. Only flaw is the hi-hat down sound...
Sound:
Sound is realistic, except barely audible when you just press the pedal. I thought it was my setup, but seems like it's a flaw in the Roland brain. Unable to increase volume of closing hi-hat.
Ease of Use:
Has good feel. Only complaint is the lack of volume on pedal alone. Problem would have to be in the brain, not the pedal.
Support:
no support requested
Overall:
I will be buying an upgrade set (I have a TD6V and will be buying a 12 and using existing equipment to beef up the 12). If I did have a pedal failure, I would replace it with this model.

"Not recommended"
Feature:
Control pedal felt very much like an acoustic hi hat.
Quality:
Roalnd could have done better.
Value:
For over $100 to purchase it does not sound very convincing.
Desirability:
Looks good if it works.
Sound:
I experienced problem with low volume with this hi hat pedal using a Roland TD-3. Even when set to max you could barely hear it when playing. Several other owners also experienced this problem.
Support:
Roland support does not recognized that there is a problem with this hi hat control pedal where other owners had also called with the same proble,
Overall:
Overall Roland FD-8 should be recalled and replacement should be offered to owners with defective one.
