How to improve the Strike Hi-hat controller?

(1/6) > >>

The ongoing saga in this topic (http://community.alesis.com/alesis/topics/strike-pro-hi-hat-behaving-erratically) has me wondering what's different about the Strike Hi-hat controller compared to the Goedrum GHC and Roland VH11 which apparently function better with a Strike module.

I assume the sensor used in Strike's controller is similar to the FSR type in this DIY hi-hat controller: https://cults3d.com/en/3d-model/various/hi-hat-controller-ver-2

Does the Strike controller have a more limited sensor response than the GHC or VH11 and has anyone tried an Alesis Realhat pedal to check how it performs?

Alesis are unlikely to acknowledge that their Hi-hat controller has a problem, so maybe Strike users can improvise some low cost improvements.

Hi.

The Goedrum controller you mention is very cheap compared to others, and various reviews on the web say it fixes all the Strike Hihat control issues.
I have ordered one from Amazon, awaiting delivery right now.

I have been wondering if the Strike HiHat is any better than the Pro-X.  I have the Pro-X with my DM10 kit, and am upgrading to a Strike next month.  I was also looking at the Goedrum controller, still unsure of what to do.  I just bought a set of Zildjian Gen16 AE cymbals to use instead.  I still may look at improving the Strike HiHat, as it will likely be moved to my DM10 kit once I bring it home.  The Gen16's will stay with the Strike once I upgrade.

I just got my Go edrum controller this weekend and it is a HUGE improvement over the POS the strike uses. Definitely recommended.

So does anyone know what's different about the motion sensor in either Go edrum or VH-11 hi-hat controllers compared to the Strike & Pro-X sensors.

FYI, this Strike hi-hat setup guide is provided by Alesis: http://www.alesis.com/kb/article/2386
