Obsidian Electronic 12" Hi-Hat
Couldn't load pickup availability
Play a hi-hat that finally feels like the real thing. Obsidian pairs a full-size top cymbal with a wide-area sensor assembly underneath, delivering fast, even response and a natural “two-cymbal” feel and support.
Highlights
Two sizes: 12" for compact rigs or 14" for full acoustic feel.
Wide sensor plate: Large coverage for consistent triggering across bow and edge—no hot spots.
Natural mechanics: Bottom assembly supports the top hat for the familiar resistance and rebound of an acoustic pair.
Smooth control: Accurate open/half-open/closed detection with standard hi-hat stands.
Quiet & solid: Low mechanical noise, durable rubberized playing surface, road-ready build.
What’s included
Obsidian electronic top cymbal (12" or 14")
Bottom sensor/receiver assembly with support plate
Connection cable(s) and mounting hardware (fits most standard hi-hat stands)
Compatibility
Works with the vast majority of drum modules that accept a dedicated hi-hat input (e.g., Roland, Alesis, ATV, Pearl Mimic, and others). Settings may vary by module—select the closest hi-hat type and fine-tune sensitivity/threshold.
Perfect for
Players who want authentic hi-hat feel in a compact electronic setup
Hybrid kits needing stable top-hat support and reliable, wide-area triggering
Practice rooms and stages where quiet operation and durability matter
