## Description

Product Description Roland continues to revolutionize electronic drums, and our newly developed digital trigger pads are no exception. Incorporating the very latest technologies, these innovative pads work directly with the powerful processing in the flagship TD-50 sound module to provide the ultimate in expressive drumming. Never before have electronic drums been so true to life.The Roland CY-18DR is for drummers who want to stamp personality on their playing. With an acoustic-style 18-inch diameter and authentic swing motion, this digital V-Cymbal is instantly familiar and highly playable. A high-resolution, multi-sensor system detects every nuance of your hard and soft touches, in every position from edge to bell. This information is then communicated via a high-speed digital trigger connection to the TD-50 module.The CY-18DR gives expressive drummers more dynamics than ever before, supporting techniques from cymbal legato to soft bell strokes and even cymbal chokes. And by simply touching the bell or bow of the cymbal with a finger or palm, you can mute the sound (with natural carryover decay) just as you would with an acoustic ride cymbal. In combination with the TD-50 module’s advanced engine, the CY-18DR delivers ultra-realistic performance never before achieved with any cymbal pad.

Review: A lively addition to my TD11K - Combined with the MDY-12 mount this ride swings and rocks around a bit like a real cymbal, which certainly adds some life to an otherwise static kit, and makes it more fun to play since it reciprocates your movements. Due to Roland's modularity, this wasn't a "for feel only" luxury upgrade; rather, it's an outright expansion. The CY-8 and arm it replaced, instead of sitting sad and forgotten in the closet, simply shifted over and plugged into the Crash 2 slot to become a second dual-zone crash cymbal, which is fantastic with stock and user kits alike and allows for more variation in the cymbal patterns. So if you have an identical setup to mine and asked yourself "is an extra zone really worth this much?", the answer is you're actually gaining three, which certainly justifies the cost to someone like me who practices solo 95% of the time and needs as many variations as possible to generate interesting patterns. I did not share my fellow reviewers' opinion on the bell's sensitivity, I find that it sits comfortably among the other triggers and can be played with proportional force at stock settings. This is my subjective opinion however, so nobody is wrong to feel otherwise. That said, with the TD11 brain, even if I were unhappy with the sensitivity of the bell (or any zone on my kit), I have the option to adjust their sensitivities individually, which is something I've already done with the stock HH and kick pad and took less than a minute of painless adjustments to accomplish. The bell DOES take a bit of precision and practice to trigger reliably, as it can be sort of hard to zero in on exactly where you have to hit it at first, but it only took a day or three to improve my accuracy to the point where I could easily trigger it when and how I wanted. The quality of the construction doesn't need much detail. It's Roland. This baseline TD11k kit is my first piece of Roland gear, but that's all it took for the name to become synonymous with peace of mind when looking for robust build quality. Aesthetically, it looks like it's always been part of the kit (save for the all-chrome arm it's sitting on). The underside of this cymbal has an attractive glossy white surface that contrasts nicely with the mostly-black kit and matches the mesh heads. The strike face on the bell is already starting to get its texture beaten flat just a bit but it's an entirely cosmetic effect and it shouldn't effect you unless resale value is a major concern for you. In summary, if you're looking to expand on your TD11 kit, this is a great place to start.
Review: Don't give up on getting the "bell" sound - I was really disappointed when I first put the Roland CY13-R on my Roland TD-07KV kit. It didn't sound any different than the original kit cymbal without bell capability. I googled the issue and found the answer (assuming you are putting it on a Roland kit). Go into "Setup", select "Pad Settings", "Advanced", "Rim Gain", hit the cymbal to select it, set Rim Gain to a higher number. I used 2.5 and it works great. EDIT: I should have mentioned that you also need to set the RIDE in settings to type "CY13R"
