The Yamaha RHH-135 will not work with the Alesis DM10. If you really want a real hi-hat stand, you should look into the Pintech HHC RYC controller or the Pintech 1300HHC IMC VisuLite hi-hat cymbals with Integrated Controller. I hope that helps.

Hi! We’ve just bought a DM10 Pro, do you know if we can use a real hi-hat + controller with the module. We were thinking about using a Yamaha RHH-135 or similar. Thanks in advance !

Yes, you can even program the amount of effect you want on the drums, the decay, and the tone. I hope that helps.

I don’t see why you can’t. I hope that helps.

Hi nice review. Just wondering can you tune the pitch on the drums? I know you can on roland kits

The place I bought the Roland TD-9K2-S was able to match the price of the DM10 Pro, free shipping and even threw in the Roland drum gig bag.

Sounds good. The Roland TD-9 is a great kit. You shouldn’t have any problems using it with your computer.

Thanks Phil. I am probably driving you nuts – but this is truly helping. I take it you are saying the Alesis DM10 Pro should be reliable for playing out. And you don’t have issues with the quality of the set.

So to possibly my last questions –

If I decide the TD-9K2 is for me, can I assume it will work well triggering the kits in Ableton? The Alesis DM10 module seems well suited for Ableton.

Videos on the TD-9K2 kit seem to imply it will accept load wav file to be assigned as a drum hit. I stress imply as the wording is vague:

Go to :50 in the video.

Again, THANK YOU for your time.

PS: We are an electronic band. I am not actually the drummer, but no drummer has an electronic kit and the band prefers one for the music we play.

But I have decided that if/when I buy this, I am going to take drum lessons. Why waste this opportunity? (Though I will still not be the drummer in the band.)
