Playing Methods - Roland V-Drums CY-13R Owner's Manual

Playing Methods

Bow Shot
This is the most common playing method, playing the
middle area of the cymbal.
It corresponds to the sound of the "head-side" of the
connected trigger input.
Edge Shot
This playing method involves striking the edge with the
shoulder of the stick.
When played as shown in the figure, the "rim-side"
sound of the connected input is triggered.
* On the CY-13R, edge shots are possible when the connection is
made to the BOW/EDGE OUTPUT jack.

Bell Shot (CY-13R Only)
Choke Play
Edge sensor
This playing method involves striking the bell.
On the CY-13R, when played as shown in the figure, the
"rim-side" sound of the connected input is triggered.
Strike the bell somewhat strongly with the shoulder of
the stick.
* Bell shots are possible when the connection is made to the CY-
13R's BELL output.
* On the CY-12C, bell shots are not supported.
Choking (pinching) the cymbal's edge with the hand
immediately after hitting the cymbal makes the sound
stop.
Choke the location of the edge sensor shown in the
figure. If you choke an area where there is no sensor, the
sound does not stop.

* When ONLY using the BELL output of the CY-13R, the choke
function will not work.
