  • Hi-Hat: VH-10 V-Hi-Hat (12-inch floating hi-hat): A major highlight, this pad mounts on a standard acoustic hi-hat stand (not included) and provides natural motion, realistic rebound, and seamless open-to-closed transitions with bow/edge triggering, mimicking an acoustic hi-hat.

  • A metal center-horizontal joint bar for improved stability.
  • Ball clamps for the snare and cymbal mounts, allowing for precise angle adjustments and flexible positioning.
  • Compatibility with a traditional acoustic hi-hat stand for the VH-10 hi-hat.
  • A compact footprint, yet providing ample space for comfortable pad layout.
