Playing method
Bow shot
Edge shot
Bell shot
Choke play
Explanation
Nuance changes depending on
the strike location
Edge sensor
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.
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.
Edge sensor
A CY-15R used as a ride cymbal will play the rim sound of the
connected trigger input when you strike the bell area shown
in the illustration.
Strike the bell somewhat strongly with the shoulder of the
stick.
* On the CY-14C and 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.
