Suggested hihat controller/pads/pedal for realism?

[AZeravica]

Hey everyone. Ordered the edrumin 10, and I’m really excited to try it out! I’m wondering what the most “realistic” hihat controller that is fully compatible with the edrumin would be.

Hopefully something that has full articulations (various degrees of closed/open/in between/foot splashes, etc.

Anyone have any good recommendations? Would be fine if something would have to be pieced together from different brands, etc.

Thanks!

A Roland VH-13 is considered one of the best. A less expensive alternative is the Lemon hi-hat. DIY solution is to buy a Hall Effect sensor here from AudioFront and mount a small neodymium magnet on the bottom of a hi-hat pedal and use a Yamaha PCY-135 as the cymbal itself.

I think Superior Drummer VST has the most tweakable hi-hat setup but EZ Drummer is probably very good also.
