Have an Alesis DM5 pro set. Was really fed up with Hi hat problems so I decided to replace the Alesis pedal with a Roland FD-8. Logic was get better pedal with greater response option and problem resolved......WRONG! Got my roland pedal in today and hooked it up and got no response when I attempted to use it. Checked that connections were right. Changed out the connection cable just in case with no luck. Was told this pedal would be compatible. Any ideas to fix this?
