Quick Product Summary

The Roland RDH-120A Heavy-Duty Hi-Hat Stand With Low-Noise Pedal is a professional-quality stand designed specifically for drummers using compatible Roland V-Hi-Hats. Combining a solid, responsive playing feel with noise-reduction features derived from Roland's acclaimed Noise Eater technology, it helps minimise pedal noise and vibration without compromising performance.

A dual-chain drive, smooth bearing hinge, double-braced two-leg design and large operating range give the RDH-120A the stability and adjustability required for serious practice and performance. Its compact two-leg configuration also leaves more floor space around kick pedals and other drum hardware.

What Makes the Roland RDH-120A Special?

Electronic drums reduce acoustic volume considerably, but physical pedal movement can still transmit vibration through floors. The RDH-120A incorporates noise-reduction technology derived from Roland's Noise Eater system, helping reduce both audible pedal noise in the room and vibration transferred into adjoining spaces.

Performance remains at the centre of the design. A dual-chain drive and smooth bearing hinge provide a fluid, responsive action, while double-braced construction and a sturdy two-leg base deliver dependable support for compatible Roland V-Hi-Hats.

Who Is It For?

The Roland RDH-120A is ideal for V-Drums players, home drummers, studio musicians and live performers using a compatible Roland V-Hi-Hat and looking for a professional stand with a familiar acoustic-style response.

Its low-noise design is particularly useful for home practice, flats, upstairs rooms and other environments where reducing vibration transfer is important, while its heavy-duty construction makes it equally suitable for rehearsal and performance.
