Roland FD-8 HH Control Pedal fix

This video is about FD-8 Pedal fix
A few points to note relating to FD-8 in this video
1. Replacement Part No: C6200053R1
Roland Actuator for FD-6/7/8, HD-1, TD-1 controller
2. You may be able to insert actuator without removing cable as I did in this video, my main reason was to open to allow viewing for this video
3. You can order part from Roland or your local music shop. I ordered from my local friendly music shop, Andertons Music, but was happy for an excuse to visit.
4. Remember to align the spring, I did this after shot. Only a minor point, but just another pointer.
Good luck..!

Hey did the new piece need any lubricant or come with any? I'm dealing with this issue now

[@duanebonney]

Thank you for this video. Makes things that much easier.

Hi there, I enjoy your video, I have one of the first Module TD-6 from Roland and can a FD-8 hi-hat controller work with this older Module.

[@waynebaker2452]

Question. Are or have you ever been able to get the “chick “ sound out of your kit? I’m talking about the sound you get by just lifting and pressing down on the pedal without hitting the pad? Like keeping time with your foot while playing the ride cymbal.

[@jesusislord1634]

Thanks! My pedal is doing the same thing and I was trying to find an adjustment to fix the problem on my module. I am glad I found your video on this. Do you know where I can get an actuator cheep?

[@abammockschannel5456]

Good Info.. TQ Sir.. 🤘🤘

[@Cessdrums]

I have the same problem now, can I use a new model of hi hat? Or has to be the same model? FD 8 Roland?

[@flaviocandido8866]

It works!!!!!

[@JuanIsaza]

Thanks

[@Svyat1984]

Hello. Please tell me if you know how to corect connect this pedal to addictive drums with midi

[@wavelifestudio9104]

You need may need a old midi to usb conversion cable. Roland makes one that I use. MK2. I'm using a TD3 from 2004 and it works like any other midi device I plug in

Today I talked to my local service and they said they dont supply the part ! Only the service including the part! It is not acceptable

[@ScienceAppliedForGood]

Is your pedal capable playing hi-hat splash after the fix? I replaced this rubber part as explained, but there is no hi-hat splash.

[@betterthanisound]

Andrei Cheremskoy Yes, I get closed, open, and the ‘splash’ you reference, which if I understand correctly, I think you mean the half open HH.

[@ScienceAppliedForGood]

Actually, I've meant 'chick' or 'splash' sound that you get from real hi-hat when you press and release the HH pedal.

[@betterthanisound]

Andrei Cheremskoy Ah no, never had that. It’s never been that great at pedal action closed HH, it’s there but way too quiet. And never with the splash on quick release.

[@ScienceAppliedForGood]

Exactly, this feature in FD-8 is featureless.

[@constantlydrums]

That sound is there but you would have to set the hi hat pad volume to a high level to hear it

[@ernie5187]

What cable goes to the fd-8? Is it the one marked HH or the one marked HHC? Thanks

[@MrFritzwho]

Ernie Should be HHC, which I believe stands for “hi hat close”

[@jeffreyandrews196]

@@MrFritzwho hi hat control

[@kyemerrick]

HHC = Hi Hat Controller. The foot pedal for the HH

[@wegogreycup]

I installed a new rubber and now it fires a hair too soon. Very sensitive.

[@wegogreycup]

Never mind; I installed the bugger UPSIDE DOWN!!!

[@wawa_gti]

is the FD-9 better than the FD-8 ??

[@betterthanisound]

wawa TV Yes.

[@danielepizzuele7083]

Warning! You assembled the spring in a wrong way. You bent it! It must seat in the "circle" under the pedal moving plate!!

[@betterthanisound]

Yes, see my point four in comments...

[@dwcwoody]

You do not need to remove or even touch the flat cable.

[@betterthanisound]

dwcwoody correct. See my comment 2. In notes.

En cas de problème de volume sur le FD8, avant de toucher à cette pièce (marteau), essayez l'aménagement suivant, simple et très peu coûteux: @

aurais tu oublié d'ajouter le lien ?

[@IansDrumsandBass]

Place the rubber in silicon for 24 hours and it will be good to go.

Thanks for sharing the video! God bless you! Please remember the following: Therefore, as sin entered the world through one man, and death through sin, so death passed to all men, because all have sinned. Romans 5:12 So, as by the transgression of one (Adam) came condemnation to all men, in the same way by the righteousness of one (Jesus Christ!) the justification of life came to all men. Romans 5:18 For God so loved the world that he gave his only Son, so that everyone who believes in him may not perish, but may have eternal life. John 3:16 And in no other is there salvation; for there is no other name under heaven, given to men, by which we can be saved. Acts 4:12 If you acknowledge the Lord Jesus with your mouth, and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. Romans 10:9

You gotta keep the 7th day Sabbath dude to get saved.

[@rolandherenow3134]

I suspect you don't even own a Roland electronic drum kit. You probably just go around spraying religious graffiti on other people's content. Shame on you.

[@IansDrumsandBass]

​@@elprofesor3643 yup, and guess what? - it isn't Sunday. 😊
