14" 2-Piece Electronic Hi-Hat Cymbals on Simmons SD2000

Wiring, module settings, and tips for the 14" 2-Piece Electronic Hi-Hat Cymbals when used with the Simmons SD2000.

Setup — 14" 2-Piece Electronic Hi-Hat Cymbals on Simmons SD2000

Reduced — switch (open/closed)

The 14" 2-Piece Electronic Hi-Hat Cymbals works on your Simmons SD2000 with reduced zones.

Continuous Open Closed

Wiring: 1× TRS pad + continuous pedal → Hi-Hat input (1/4" TRS jack)

The Simmons hi-hat controller convention differs from the Roland-style variable CV that the Lemon pedal produces — some Simmons modules use a 3.5mm HH-CTRL jack and a different pedal curve. Open/closed response is reliable, but variable articulation (half-open, splash) is not guaranteed. Simmons is not listed on Lemon Cymbals' official compatibility page and Lemon sells a separate control-pedal SKU marketed for Alesis Nitro / Simmons modules.

Cable routing

  1. Connect the hi-hat pad to the Hi-Hat input jack using a standard 1/4" TRS cable.
  2. Connect the hi-hat pedal controller to the dedicated pedal input.

Module settings

  1. TRIGGER button > select Hi-Hat pad > Input Settings: adjust Gain, Threshold, Sensitivity, Crosstalk, Retrigger, Mask Time.

Tips

  1. Full continuous pedal control is supported (open, half-open, closed).
  2. Calibrate the hi-hat pedal range (open/closed end-points) in the module settings so variable response tracks the full pedal travel.
