Yamaha RHH-135 Hi-Hat E-Drum Pad

Un e-HiHat muy bien logrado por Yamaha de un solo cuerpo. Lo instalé en una DTXpress II para probar su compatibilidad y va perfecto, responde correctamente a la sensibilidad de las zonas. El RHH-135 lo tengo montado sobre un pie Yamaha HS650A y el mecanismo es correcto. Merece la pena tener un pad de estas características. Poco ruido genera al golpearlo con las baquetas ya que tiene una textura semiblanda en el exterior del plato.
Por ponerle una pega: la zona de caucho inferior interno central del RHH135, donde reposa con la base del pie, tiende a generar partículas, polvillo negro que tendrás que limpiar de vez en cuando.

Cuando no toco en directo lo uso en casa para practicar con el kit completo triggeado. Apenas si se nota la diferencia y se instala como un hi hat normal. Al ser de goma si que se oye el sonido si tocas en un lugar pequeño y con amplificadores; pero usando cascos el sonido y sensación es muy bueno. Hay que tener en cuenta que es Yamaha y bizona, lo que quiere decir que es necesario que el módulo tenga salida piezo-switch. Como digo, salvo lo del ruido del pad tocando con amplicador, muy correcto. Merece la pena.

Pros: On the whole I think this is a great product for the price. It is very well made and feels fairly realistic to play. It's close enough to a real hi-hat that there isn't a huge disconnect for me between this and my acoustic hi hats and works well on my practice/digital kit. It also triggers accurately, at least for me, and I've had no problems in that regard. It was pretty much a painless 'plug and play' experience to set up as well.

Cons: My biggest complaint is that I find the pad relatively loud compared to the rest of my kit and pads. It's not *very* loud, but I'm trying to aim for the quietest kit possible to keep my wife and neighbours happy. This pad's volume certainly isn't a deal breaker, but it is louder than I thought it would be. Also, I find the pad a bit too light and easy to move when using my feet. Again, it's not a dealbreaker for me although I find I have to adjust my technique quite a bit when going back to an acoustic kit.

Overall, this is a great hi-hat for the price and I'd happily recommend it!

But I bought it for my DTX-400 and even despite the fact that it's working as a single zone pad I absolutely love it. I've tried them all, KU100, HH65 and now RHH135. It is expensive but definitely worth it. Finally a reliable, predictable hi-hat.

Pros: It works. It's strong and together with Millenium HH-902 can be used for self-defence.

Cons:
None.
