Shoutout Luke and Kenny!!!
Thanks for the video. I just purchased the Lemon hihats and they STILL have this problem. It took over three months from the time I ordered the cymbals until I had the replacement cable installed and kind of working. Still not a good as my Alesis hi hats were. I sure wish Lemon would fix these known problems given how much of a pain it is for customers to fix them. I am now wondering how they will deal with warranty issues, etc. I think this is a case where you get what you pay for...I would have gone with a different option if I knew then what I know now.
Can't wait for the full review! Nice work
Great work Luke, good on you for taking on the effort.
Great job working through this for Lemon and other Lemon users.
Thanks! I thought it might be useful to show off a troubleshooting process, sometimes it's difficult to know where to start!
I look forward to hearing your feedback on the feel of the cymbals. I bought a Lemon splash to try out and it works well, but the "feel" when compared to the rest of my Roland cymbals is more like hitting a piece of cardboard. Keep up the great work, sir!
Thanks for the review, really cool
Well done!
Once i have the money i want a full lemon cymbal set.
Great video. I own a few of the 18” Lemon ride cymbals and am very happy with them.
I wish that Lemon would make a 14” set of hi-hats.
I had the same issue - a pair of tweezers and I flipped the solderless connectors - on the plug it was a quick fix
Awesome!
How cool of them!
I'd love to see an electronic bass drum shoot out! (small and large bass drums - ATV, Roland, Efnote, etc.)
Kenny Q was the guy I chatted with LOL, Just ordered it hope mine has that fixed? thanks great info
Kenny Q is the bomb! 😁🤘
i d be all in for a 14 inch set of those
Thank you so much for this review you and Justin from 65 drums are amazing i really love your videos.🔥
Hoesntly the best Hihat that i've tried so far is the Efnote hihats
Though it only works with the Efnote modules😅
Thank you 🙏 I'm yet to try the EFNOTE hi-hats but I hear great things from everyone who's used them!
@@TheeDrumWorkshop For me, I tried Roland and Yamaha hihats but I think Efnote is on another level when it comes to the HiHat motion
This company is Stand up. I’m really curious to how far they grow with their future products.
Great work! I actually contacted Lemon about my hats and they let me know that "someone" was checking the fix on their TD50 before they wanted to send me my replacement part. I'm glad it was you! The replacement for mine went perfectly, and I've actually dialed them in to work well on my TD17. I just posted my review of the hi hats. i'm pretty satisfied!
Nice one, glad you're enjoying them! It may not have been me that they were referring to, one of their staff or testers also has a TD-50 module, I believe. But who knows!
Amazing! Thank you for this post. Where do I purchase the cable? I’m having the same issue.
Hi Luke, how is this controller holding up? My cy5 no longer triggers on the edge and I'm thinking maybe replacing it with this. I don't play that much
Kenny Q is who I got mine off and yes I have the same issue, I have sent him a message so lets see what happens, cheers Luke
I'm sure they'll sort you out!
Hi! Great videos… have you try it with the EdrumIn? I watch on your review that it works well with the 18” cymbal. Thanks, regards from Mexico.
Thank you. Yes, I showed it working with the eDRUMin in the full review video. You can watch that here - ua-cam.com/video/TuAyEZDWUzs/v-deo.html
@@TheeDrumWorkshop thank you so much!
Pls make review video of lemon T-950... New drum
My friend just bought a set, but the hole in the bottom hi-hat is too small to fit over the sleeve on the hi-hat stand?? best solution?
Very cool. Have you tried one of the Lemon modules yet?
Thanks Justin! No, I haven't tried anything but the cymbals yet. Have you had the chance to?
Sounds like a collab guys
@@TheeDrumWorkshop no I haven't, a bit afraid, haha
Haha understandable! A bit of plastic and some piezos are a bit different to a full on module. I've not been able to justify more than the £60-120 it usually costs to get the cymbals sent over.
Is there anyway to get this cable somewhere else other than china?
I just ordered these on reverb new. I can't test them until I have a module. Jw if I need to contact them now about it.
This Hi-hat works on the Roland TD-07?
Identical issue here,
I bought these & received Oct/22 been fiddling with them & Emailing Nic at lemon’s C/S back in forth..
I shelf these until I watched yr video today..
I just a follow up email back to Nic at lemon today …
Hopefully they follow up..
If there’s anything else that I need to do a follow up, please let me know and again thank you for your help

Td27kvs purchased 2yrs back & Lov’m
Do you prefer this 12 inch vs the Lemon vh11 style 13
Does this work with a Donner or Simmons module ?
Is it compatible with a td11 module?
No one better than Luke to figure this out!
You're too kind!
@@TheeDrumWorkshop nah. Just credit to where it’s due. Cheers!
Is it compatible with alesis crimson 2 se?
Hello Luke, how was your experience with the Lemon hi hat with the 2 box module if you tried?
I haven't tried it on all of the modules yet, but that will feature in the full review!
Hey, I am not able to get the hi hat to sound right along with lemons sound module. Would you be having some pointers for this problem?
Hey. Unfortunately I've not got any experience with Lemon's sound modules so I don't have much to offer there. Sorry about that.
You should invoice for your QA work 😜
Money please! 🤑
T950 review incoming?
Hi Luke! Nice content!
As I said below - these Lemon gear parts are crazy.
A 18" ride for 80$. Ha!
And the support is great. I mean, my wife told me I was nuts to order so many cymbals directly from China. I mean, ok, 5x 15", 1x 18" and the snare pad 12" that was a large expensive order. But I am completely satisfied. I got in touch with the support, too, and there were faster than a german company. Really.
Are there any guys from Germany to place a bulk order?
I mean, I like my 15" hats, but they are swinging a lot. So a two part hihat.... hmmm.
Looking forward to your review, Luke!
Thanks in advance for your efforts.
Glad you're enjoying the Lemon cymbals! Yeah, I used the 15" ones as a hi-hat for a while but they do move a bit too much. Maybe putting some kind of large washer might help, not sure.
@@TheeDrumWorkshop yap, something like that. Or I will swap the felt to large washer and a rubber ring kind of thing.
How are you enjoying the snare pad?
@Become a Star Live oh, sorry, for the late reply.
It's ok. I mean, basically, you get what you pay for. It's working well. It triggers really well. And with the eDrumIn module the positional sensing is working. I might not last forever, but for 45$ it doesn't have to.
The important part the mounting system is quite ok.
lemon seem to be a good value... are you going to test it on the alesis module..?
Yes, I'll test it on all of my modules! Might take a little while 😅
I have a TD 17 kvx2 with the upgraded cymbals. I would like a larger ride. I run EZDrummer 3. Any recommendations?
CY16-RT is an amazing cymbal from roland, or if youre looking for REALLY great cymbals, ATV 18" ride (or 16")
Depends how much you want to spend! As PEP. says, the Roland and ATV rides are great quality. There are also the 15" or 18" Lemon rides which are good on a budget. They're not as nice as the Roland ones and their shape is a bit flat in comparison, but lots of people are happy with the compromise for the value. I've got reviews on the channel of the Lemon cymbals as well as an 18" ride shootout (though the Roland digital ride won't be compatible).
Can you please review n update elect drum amps ..monitors pleeeeeeese?..
I would gladly if I was sent some by a manufacturer but I personally have no use for them so I can't afford buy them just to test them out, unfortunately.
Where can I buy this hi hat?
Whoops, sorry! I've added a link to the description, but here it is -
Lemon LE-HHC12 on Alibaba (No Logo version) - www.alibaba.com/product-detail/No-logo-Lemon-drum-cymbal-drum_1600566588882.html
Have you used any of the Lemon snare, tom or bass drums?
Not yet, no. Sorry!
I got a simple 12" snare pad (side snare, like 45$ or so, these guys a crazy, really). It got a centre trigger and nice mesh head (a bit louder than the drum-tec design heads).
And with the eDRUMin10 it actually does positional sensing quite good. If you need more info, let me know.
dual zone
I got the 13x13 floor tom. It triggers ok overall, but ghost notes seem to be a no-go.
@Gordon Jeffrey ok, but ghost notes on the floor tom? Make sure you set the trigger setting right to get the best dynamics and you might have to tighten the mesh head.
That is the thing on edrums that even a large stand tom pad will not feel like a 16" real floor tom.
I installed the fix cable, but my top hat is still triggering almost all head/bell hits. I opened it up and see nothing to swap. Plugged it in without a controller, issue persists. I am bewildered.
There is only bow (head) and edge (rim) on these pads, no bell. So just to check, do you mean only bow hits? If so, that's the opposite from what I had and it might not be the same problem. It could be a faulty edge switch that just isn't registering as closed. That would be my best guess anyway, going off limited information and without being able to see or test it. What module are you using it with?
@@TheeDrumWorkshop Yes, I meant the bow. TD-27, cheers.
@@TheeDrumWorkshop Lemon sent me a replacement top hat, but the same thing is happening. I throw the VH-10 pad onto the HHC and everything is fine. The HHC top hat will only register edge strikes if they are at max velocity (whether plugged into the bottom or even another input like crash 1).
Lemon cymbals seem always so smudgy compared to roland on videos to me. Is this is real thing?
The rubber is quite porous. But hey, dude. These hi hats are 129$ today - so...
I use 5x 15" Lemon triple zone crashes (1 as a hihat pad) and 1x 18" ride. I love them.
To clean these I use this Cyber Clean "slime". And I am fine. I got a video in my DropBox linked in my profile.
I like dark black cymbals... so, I understand your concerns. :-)
The rubber is more matte than Roland's which means that stick marks show up a bit more readily, yeah. Giving it a go over with 303 can help that but ultimately the rubber is different. Significantly cheaper though, so I can personally give that a pass.
I stay away from that lemon brand. I tried their 8 splash and its like hitting a tire and its heavy. No lemon for me. Id but Unlock before I get this lemon junk
