Very interesting but I have few questions since I’m thinking about to do with my Roland td-3 hi-hat controller (approximately the same construction as the alesis): 1) Did you also mount your Alesisi Hihat pad on the Hihat stand ? Do you play it in this manner? ( approximately like a Roland VH-11) 2) Did the transformation modify the overall sensitivity of the controller ? Is it now better, worse or the same as the one of the original Alesis controller before modification ? 3) Do you have a video showing the result (playing the hihat !)?

Why over-engineer it like that? I think you can put the Alesis e-pedal (or any other electronic pedal) just NEXT to the real hi hat pedal and connect two with a sturdy plate, so when you work the real hi hat the electronic one goes up and down with it. Will that not be an easier solution requiring just a small metal (plywood?) plate and several screws? You can de-couple two pedals at any time for upgrades, fixes, etc.

Im thinking about integrating my Alesis into a hihat stand. This is definitely a destructive mod, and doesn't seem like there's any going back. It may be better to somehow attach a linear pot, and have the movement of the hihat control the pot. If I do that, I'll make a video for sure!

i dont know, im a drum noob but for me the alesis pedal is too chunky and it messes with my knees being the same level, causing my back to hurt after only an hour of playing. doing what OP was kind enough to show us is a much better solution albeit a pain in the ass compared to what you mentioned. i guess theres different solutions for different needs

[@KT-yn8cj]

nothing wrong with the alesis pedal, if you're having those issues I'd be more concerned about your seat height

[@norleonor5733]

can you please tell me the value of the resistor in order please its not clear in the video

[@MRmesmetin]

i.m thinking to use an magnetopot resistor to improve my hi hat.....i hope that i.ll work...

[@norleonor5733]

can you show me pictures of your hihat pedal 6.5 jack? is it mono or stereo??

[@KT-yn8cj]

title should be 'how to destroy an alesis pedal' Far easier to take the pedal off your hi-hat stand and attach your alesis pedal to the rod via the alesis height adjuster screw and some 90 angle

That was a complete waste of time watching that.
