Sound Pure's Take

This model of V hats comes with a new color finish in metallic grey as part of the updated model of V-cymbals. Also there is improved responsivness when opening and closing the hi hat, which is great for jazz players who want sensitivity with the left foot. 

From Roland

The two-piece design and thin 14-inch pads provide a familiar look and natural feel, while the high-resolution, multi-sensor system tracks velocity, stick position, and foot work with maximum precision. Foot splashes are reproduced authentically, and you can even mute the cymbals with a hand touch—just like acoustic hi-hats.

The VH-14D is the perfect complement to the PD-140S digital snare and CY-18DR digital ride, bringing Roland’s powerful digital advantages to the three most nuanced pieces in your kit.

For the most expressive VH-14D experience, you’ll want to use it with the flagship TD-50X sound module or a TD-50 module with the TD-50X upgrade installed. These modules include new sounds that are fully optimized for the VH-14D. Standard TD-50 and TD-27 modules are also compatible with the VH-14D via a free system update. This provides support for the VH-14D’s enhanced detection capabilities, but no new sounds are included.

  • High-resolution sound triggering designed for use with the TD-50X and compatible Roland sound modules with digital trigger inputs
  • Top and bottom 14-inch pads with thin profiles for authentic feel and playability
  • Precision tracking of velocity, stick position, and foot pedal work
  • Wide-range touch sensors allow you to mute the cymbals with your hand
  • Mounts to a regular acoustic hi-hat stand
