  • HI-HAT CONTROLLERS AND PEDAL ACCESSORIES
    Publication number: 20210287647
    Abstract: An apparatus, system, and method provide hi-hat control for use as an electronic controller for a drum/cymbal hi-hat instrument. The hi-hat controller is an interface for field mounting, e.g., retrofit, for use with existing hi-hat foot pedals to provide a seamless conversion of an acoustic hi-hat foot pedal into an input device for use with electronic drum modules and other signal generating devices.
