Description
Roland RDH-120A Hi-Hat Stand with Noise Eater is a premium stand created for electronic drummers who want an authentic acoustic feel without the unwanted room rumble that can bother households and neighbours. Purpose built for Roland V-Drums and other electronic hi-hat pads, it combines a smooth, responsive pedal with clever vibration isolation so you can practise longer and later with confidence. The familiar format means any drummer will feel at home straight away, while the robust hardware copes with regular sessions and quick adjustments. Whether you are upgrading a compact home rig or refining a teaching setup, this stand brings control, comfort and quiet to your everyday playing.
Beyond the basics, the RDH-120A is engineered like serious stage hardware. Double braced legs and firm tube joints provide a planted, wobble free foundation, while the precise chain drive and adjustable spring let you dial in the pedal response to match your touch. The footboard feels solid and predictable underfoot, encouraging clean openings and tight closed strokes. Integrated Noise Eater components isolate the stand from the floor to reduce low frequency transfer, but they do not sap the feel, so your dynamics stay intact. Compared with an entry level student stand, you get greater stability, quieter mechanics and a far more refined action that rewards developing technique.
For UK tuition and school backline the RDH-120A is a sensible choice, because it sets up quickly, stays put and works seamlessly with common Roland VH style hi-hat pads as well as standard acoustic cymbals if required. Teachers will appreciate the consistent response that helps pupils focus on timing and foot control, while the Noise Eater isolation makes shared practice rooms and flats more manageable. It is straightforward to transport between lessons, and its reliable construction stands up to everyday use by different players. By reducing transmitted noise and delivering professional feel in one solution, it offers excellent long term value for practice, rehearsals and performance preparation.
