„Remove" is our favourite word!
This is a video about the repair of a Roland FD8 hi hat pedal. This pedals is loosing its sensitivity after a while, mostly because of the rubber part inside. Rubber gets hard after a certain time, no matter if it's a car tire or this piece.
I made this part smooth again with petroleum jelly and heat (max. 70°C over night), with a great result. I fixed already 3 of those FD-8 pedals and one HD-1 bass drum pedal (which had the same part) and it worked great!
I cannot guarantee anything. The issue for a faulty pedal could also be a broken sensor/trigger and I have no idea where to get a replacement part.
PLEASE NOTE: This solution will not last for ages. You might have to repeat this process after a while.
Write your possible solutions for that problem in the comments and tell me what you did to fix the pedal!
