Alesis 102170118-A - HH Pedal for SURGESEKIT / SURGEMESH

Alesis 102170118-A – Hi-Hat Pedal for Surge SE / Surge Mesh (Official Replacement)

The Alesis 102170118-A is the original hi-hat controller pedal for the Surge Mesh and Surge Mesh SE kits. It offers continuous control of the hi-hat opening—from closed to open with positions in between—and supports techniques like chick and splash for a more natural playing experience. It plugs directly into the kit’s harness at the input labeled Hi-Hat Control , working plug-and-play with the module without the need for external power or complex setup. It’s the recommended factory replacement to maintain the Alesis intended feel and response of your Surge set.
