Package Contents

* To customers who purchased a Pads Set, please refer to the attached “Accessories List” sheet included with the Pads Set when confirming package contents.
HH65:

  1. HH65 main unit × 1,
  2. stereo phone cable × 1,
  3. Owner’s Manual (this sheet) × 1

Setting Up

Place the HH65 in the area underneath the rack- or stand-mounted pad (TP65, etc.) q that will be used for the hi-hat cymbal.
* If the drum pads are set on a special purpose drum riser (optional), or if damage to the floor is not a concern, extend the spurs 2 so that the tip of the spurs dig into the riser or floor. To prevent damage to the floor, rotate the spur counter-clockwise so that the edge does not come in contact with the floor.
Pedal Stroke Adjustment
The amount of pedal stroke (the amount that the pedal moves up and down when stepped on) can be adjusted to meet your particular playing requirements. The stroke can be changed according to the position at which the adjustment bolt is set. Setting the adjustment bolt to a higher position results in a wider stroke while setting it to a lower position results in a narrower stroke.
Use a drum key (optional) to loosen the square bolt e and adjust the bolt’s position, then firmly tighten the square bolt.

Connections

Use the supplied stereo phone cable to connect the HH65’s output jack to the HI HAT CONTROL input jack on the DTX Series Drum Trigger Module. Insert the L-shaped connector into the output jack (OUTPUT) on the HH65.
Connect the output jack of the pad (TP65, etc.) being used for the hi-hat cymbal to the HI HAT input jack.
HH65 Hi-Hat Control Function
The HH65 functions much like the pedal on a hi-hat stand while the pad that is connected to the hi-hat input functions as the hi-hat cymbal.

  • A closed sound can be obtained by stepping on the HH65.
  • A “foot splash” can be obtained by stepping on and quickly releasing the foot pedal.
  • Changes in the sound produced by the hi-hat pad can also be obtained according to the amount that the HH65’s pedal is depressed (close/half-open/open).

Troubleshooting

If the following trouble occurs when the HH65 is used, please check the following points before asking your dealer for assistance.
Hi-Hat Control does not function
Is the HH65’s output jack properly connected to the DTX Series Drum Trigger Module’s HI-HAT CONTROL input using the supplied stereo phone cable? (See “Connections” above.)
Also, please refer to the Owner’s Manual that came with your DTX Series Drum Trigger Module for more information regarding the problems described above and any other problems that you may be experiencing. If a solution can not be found to the problem after consulting the manuals, please contact the dealer from whom you purchased the product.
