Well. Who would have thought that a $16 piece of rubber could fix my problem? I’ll tell you who, John the moderator is who.

I took apart my FD8 pedal and everything seemed fine. In fact, the kit played normally when i just played the TD-15 kits. The problem only occurred when I MIDI’d into my DAW using EZDrummer2 and that’s when the problems started. Go back to the TD15 and the hi hat worked fine. Did some more searching and found some info that the rubber piece in the FD8 can go bad. But it worked with the kit? Much confusion. Well, I ordered the part and replaced it (the new part was much more flexible) and guess what, it worked.

I still don’t know why it worked on the kit and not via MIDI but I get to prolong the life of this kit. Thanks John for your suggestions. I should have tried this long ago.

Playing the TD-15 straight up, everything is fine. Once I use it as a midi controller, i press down the hi-hat pedal and i see the hi-hat close on the drum kit in EZ3. I then hit the hi-hat and it pops open with my foot still on the pedal.

TD-15 is available as a preset and it still doesn’t work. I am truly baffled.

 

UPDATE- I brought the TD-15 up to ver 1.14 (was at 1.1) and it is still keeping hi-hat open.

I upgraded to EZdrummer 3. The TD-15 is still opening the minute I hit the hi-hat with a stick. How can this not be handled by the software?

Yes. I have it going into my scarlet. When I play the kit (td-15) by itself, all the items work perfectly. Hi hat, cymbal chokes, everything so I think the module and cables are fine.

just odd that the hi hat pedal seems to be overridden by another trigger. I can watch the ezdrummer screen and I press down on the pedal I see hi hat onscreen moves down and closes. When I hit the hi hat with a stick I see the hi hat on screen pop up.

this has to be a know issue. I’ve reset the TD-15 module. Installed ezdrummer2 fresh. I open ezdrummer 2 and keep the basic modern kit selected.

• foot on hi hat pedal
• hit hi hat
• it is the open sound

 

• change e-drums midi mapping to roland
• no change

 

• change e-drums midi mapping to either Generic setting
• no change

 

• try all 4 hi hat pedal correction settings
• no change

On the roland module, if i open the midi section, i can see that when i press and hold down the hi hat pedal that lights up. keeping the pedal down, I then hit the hi hat and it switches to hi hat open. This makes no sense.

Thanks for responding!

What I did was create a new project, added only a EZDrummer instrument, selected Electronic Basic set. Dragged in a midi file (though I can create one from scratch and the result is the same). I press play and all is good. Save Project. Close Reason. Reopen, and the sound is jacked.

Not sure if i can create a video of it, but if it helps, i’ll try.
