Roland CY-18DR

Product Description

The Roland CY-18DR is a digital ride cymbal with an acoustic 18-inch size, built for drummers who want expressive playing on their electronic kit. The high-resolution multi-sensor picks up everything from light bell taps to hard edge hits, and you can mute the sound with a simple touch, just like on an acoustic cymbal.

Feel and Expression

The CY-18DR has an authentic swing motion that will feel instantly familiar if you're used to an acoustic ride. The built-in multi-sensor system reads every nuance of your playing, hard or soft, and tracks where on the cymbal you strike, from edge to bell. This lets you reproduce techniques like cymbal legato and soft bell taps with great precision.

Muting and Control

To mute the cymbal, just place a finger or your palm on the bell or playing surface. The cymbal then dampens with a natural decay, just like a real ride. Available playing methods are bow shot (high-resolution position detection, wide dynamic range), bell shot, edge shot, and choke (choke edge, bow touch).

Sensor System and Connection

Underneath sits a multi-element sensor system with three bow sensors, a bell sensor, an edge sensor, and a touch sensor, along with a built-in signal processor for the sensor readings. The cymbal connects via a DIGITAL TRIGGER OUT port and works with Roland's drum modules that have a digital trigger input.

What's Included

The delivery includes an owner's manual, wing nut, felt washer, stopper, connection cable, and cable tie. A cymbal mount (MDY series) and a cymbal parts set (CYM-10, one set included) are sold separately as add-ons.
