Electronic Hi-Hat

Electronic Hi-Hat – Full Control for Your eDrum Kit or Hybrid Setup

The hi-hat is one of the most dynamic and expressive elements in any drum kit — and that’s especially true for electronic drummers. Choosing the right electronic hi-hat can dramatically improve how natural and responsive your eDrum setup feels

Whether you're playing jazz patterns, foot splashes, or precise open/closed transitions, a professional 2-piece electronic hi-hat will give you the articulation and realism you need

At World Drummers, we offer a wide range of dual-piece, pedal-controlled electronic hi-hats that are fully compatible with Roland, Alesis, 2Box, Mimic Pro, and more


What Is an Electronic Hi-Hat?

An electronic hi-hat is a cymbal controller system designed to mimic acoustic hi-hat behavior using trigger zones and pedal sensors

There are two main types:

Single-piece hi-hats that sit on a stand or rack mount
Dual-piece hi-hats that sit on a standard hi-hat stand and use a clutch + pedal interaction to control open/close behavior

Professional eDrummers prefer 2-piece hi-hats because they feel and function like real ones — including foot pressure sensitivity and splash sounds
