Attaching to a Stand

Attach the CY-12R/C with the optional cymbal mount (MDY 
series), or drum stand cymbal mount (MDS series).

1.

Use a commercially available drum key to 

tighten the stopper bolt.

The stopper keeps the CY-12R/C from turning, and 
prevents the cables from catching or getting tangled on the 
stand.

fig.01.e

2.

Attach the CY-12R/C so the unit is oriented as 

shown in the diagram (bolt should be opposite 

the output jacks).

3.

Tighten the wing nut to obtain the desired 

movement.

Use the included felt washer and the wing nut.

fig.02.e

• Double sounding may occur if the wing nut is loose.
• Do not use the washer or felt included with the cymbal 

mount (MDY series).

Connecting to 

a Percussion Sound Module

(TD-6, TD-8, TD-10, etc.)

About the Output Jacks

The CY-12R/C features two different output jacks, BOW/BELL 
and BOW/EDGE.
Use the BOW/BELL output jack when you want to play the 
bow and the bell sounds; use the BOW/EDGE output jack 
when you want to play the bow and the edge sounds.

Use either the BOW/BELL or BOW/EGDE output jack, but 
not both at the same time (except for the TD-10 + TDW-1 with 
V-Cymbal Control).
Connecting both jacks results in two separate trigger inputs 
playing simultaneously.

If you are using the TD-10 + TDW-1 with V-Cymbal Control, 
you can use both the BOW/BELL and BOW/EGDE output 
jacks at the same time (Three Way Triggering). For more 
details, refer to “If Using TD-10 + TDW-1 with V-Cymbal 
Control” (p. 6).

Making the Connections

To prevent malfunction and/or damage to speakers or other 
devices, always turn down the volume, and turn off the power 
on all devices before making any connections.

1.

Use the included cable to connect one of the CY-

12R/C’s output jacks (either one, but not both, 

EXCEPT when using with the TD-10 + TDW-1 

with V-Cymbal Control installed) to the drum 

sound module’s trigger input jack.

Connect the L-shaped plug of the included cable to the 
CY-12R/C. This will prevent strain from being applied to 
the CY-12R/C.

To make use of edge shot and choking play techniques, 
you'll need to connect to a trigger input jack on the 
percussion sound module that accommodates rim shots.
The TD-8's “1/2 (KICK 1/2)” and “11/12 (AUX 1/2)” do 
not support rim shots.

2.

Secure the cable with cable ties.

Leave enough slack so that the cable is not pulled by any 
shaking or vibration of the cymbal when it is struck.

fig.CY03.e

Take care to ensure that the cable does not come into 
contact with the cymbal or stand. Contact between the 
cable and the cymbal or stand can result in problems,
