Features
• Similar touch and feel as with acoustic cymbals
The superior design has taken into account not only the shape of the cymbal, but also the bounce of the stick, and
even the movement caused by playing. It can be used as a ride, crash, or splash cymbal.
• They're quiet!
• Separate tones in bow and edge, or bow and bell; choking possible
When the CY-12R/C is used as a ride cymbal, you can play bell shots (p. 6); edge shots (p. 6) can be played when using
it as a crash cymbal.
You can also use choking techniques, whereby you stop the sound by grasping the cymbal edge with your hand (p. 7).
• Compatible with all Roland percussion sound modules (p. 2)
• Three way triggering and positional sensing are possible
(When using the TD-10 + TDW-1 with V-Cymbal Control) (p. 6)
