Independent shopping perspective

The Korena take

Roland’s CY-18DR is an 18-inch digital V-Cymbal ride with an acoustic-style diameter and swing motion. Its high-resolution multi-sensor system tracks hard and soft playing across the cymbal, from edge to bell, then sends that information through a high-speed digital trigger connection to the TD-50 module. It supports detailed ride work including cymbal legato, soft bell strokes, chokes, and touch muting at the bell or bow with natural carryover decay.
