Review: Works great - It works great with my Alesys MD-10 electronic drum set
Review: I bought a used Roland TD-6V locally that was in excellent shape. Everything worked perfectly except for the hi hat controller. The rubber piece hardened up and couldn’t make contact with the sensor. I looked at and considered a few “fixes” but ultimately decided to go new. Seems like all the Roland stuff is expensive but hopefully it lasts a long time.

*by F***S on 28 October 2024*

Bien mais problème récurrent d'élément en caoutchouc qui se durcit à l'intérieur de la pédale, à la longue. Je ne sais pas si c'est lié à l'usure et/ou aux variations de température (pièce dans une dépendance non chauffée mais isolée), mais les deux pédales ont eu le même problème. Pour info, si vous êtes un peu audacieux et bricolo, il est possible de retirer cet élément, de le mettre dans un verre d'eau chaude et de le passer au micro-onde pour le ramollir. Ça pourrait bien vous faire faire des économies...
