Natural, Three-Way Triggering and Swinging Motion

The CY-15R V-Cymbals Ride is a 15-inch cymbal that offers natural swinging movement and 
ultra-dynamic three-way triggering (edge/bow/bell) when used with the TD-20, TD-12, and TD-9,  
making this the most expressive electronic cymbal ever designed. With edge/bow or bow/bell 
output jacks, this cymbal can be used as a ride cymbal or large crash cymbal, expanding the 
possibilities of any Roland drum system.

This Crash Cymbal Really Swings!

The CY-14C V-Cymbals Crash is a 14-inch crash cymbal featuring the same dimensions and 
natural movement of an acoustic cymbal. A dual-trigger system with individual sensors for the 
edge and bow gives you more dynamic response, allowing for expressive cymbal “chokes.” 
Concentrated mass around the rim ensures uniform sensing whenever the cymbal is struck.

Compact, Triple-Trigger Cymbal

This 12-inch electronic cymbal brings breakthrough V-Cymbal technology to a very affordable 
price point. This expressive 3-way trigger* cymbal offers the natural rebound, inertia, and natural 
“swinging” motion of an acoustic cymbal, plus cymbal choke capabilities. Use it as crash or a 
compact ride cymbal. 

 *3-way triggering is capable when used with the TD-20, TD-12 and TD-9 sound module.

Dual-Trigger Cymbal with Choke Control

Sporting a refined look that more closely resembles an acoustic cymbal, the 
CY-8 Dual-Trigger Cymbal Pad offers precise and accurate triggering for 
both crash and ride purposes — complete with natural “swinging” motion 
and cymbal “choke” capability.

Improved Cymbal Pad for Hi-Hat or Splash

The cymbal pad (CY-5) features a 12-inch playing zone and swing 
movement for more drummer-friendly triggering. The pad also provides 
separate bow and edge triggering. The CY-5 can be also used as an 
additional cymbal pad, such as a splash, on V-Drums kits.
