Hey!
If you are also struggling on howbad is the Nitro hi-hat pedal and the "wrong" feeling when pressing hard for a close sound,
I decided to look into it and decided to make my own hi-hat controller:


After many iterations I now got something I'm very happy about, my Nitro-hat is mounted on a standard hi-hat pedal and the feeling is much more realistic.

Here a video of the sounds:


Since I got a lot of positive feebdack from the reddit community, I decided to make a small pre-order campaign, if at least 10 people are interested I will make a small batch. Currently 7 people pledged, so looking for the last 3 people interested in this. Pre-order campaign.
My goal is not going to make any money, I already spent many many hours of engineering it and the price is mostly to cover the cost of custom made electronic, plastics and the hi-hat stands I want to buy for compatibility testing and improving the design before shipping.

If anyone is interested you can find all the info at this link!


If you have any questions or feedback feel free to ask!

Cheers
Lorenzo
