If you’re using the VH-11 V-hi-hat, execute the offset adjustment from the TD-9 after making connections.
This adjustment is required in order to correctly detect open, close, and pedal operations.

OPEN

CLOSE

If the closed hi-hat sound is difficult to attain, rotate the VH offset 
adjustment screw towards “CLOSE.”
If the open hi-hat sound is difficult to attain, rotate the screw 
towards “OPEN.”

*  If the sound cuts off when you strike the hi-hat forcefully, rotate the 

VH Offset adjustment screw towards “OPEN.”

*  Although the gap can be adjusted 

to a clearance that makes playing 
the hi-hat easier, setting too 
narrow or wide a gap can cause 
improper function of the unit and 
prevent the hi-hat from sounding 
as you intend. Setting the gap to 
3 mm provides the most natural 
feel when playing the VH-11.

*  Continuous playing may cause dis-coloration of the pad, but this will not affect the Pad’s function.

*  If the hi-hat clutch has been detached from the hi-hat, refer to “If the Clutch Was Apart from the Hi-Hat” in 

the owner’s manual.
