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

Use as switch hi-hat

The 14" 2-Piece Electronic Hi-Hat Cymbals works on the Simmons SD2000 as a switch hi-hat: open/closed only.

Continuous Open Closed

Wiring: HH lead → hi-hat pad + HH PEDAL lead → hi-hat controller, both on the multi-pin cable harness

The Lemon hi-hat pad and controller connect through the multi-pin cable harness and deliver open and closed hi-hat.

Hi-hat setup and troubleshooting guide ›

Cable routing

  1. Plug the HH lead of the multi-pin cable harness into the hi-hat pad and the HH PEDAL lead into the hi-hat controller; the harness's multi-pin connector attaches to the Serial Connection Jack on the bottom of the module (Multi-Pin Jack Input, p.14).

Module settings

  1. With your foot off the pedal, set the resting gap at the clutch: loosen the clutch, raise the top cymbal on the controller until the released sound is as open as it gets, then tighten it — the clutch is the only control.
  2. Press the pedal to confirm it still reaches the closed sound; if it doesn't, lower the cymbal slightly and set the gap again.
  3. Press Utility, then the Function button under "Trigger" on the Main Utility screen.
  4. Select the Hi-Hat input (Follow Trigger — strike it — or Current Trigger).
  5. Adjust Sensitivity, Threshold, Curve, Retrigger, Crosstalk.

Tips

  1. Set the resting gap at the clutch before judging the hi-hat — with the cymbal sitting too low on the controller, the released position can sound half-open rather than fully open.
