This 12-inch electronic cymbal features three-way triggering for position-sensitive response, giving you a more natural playing experience.

The CY-12R/C V-Cymbal Ride/Crash is a 12 in. electronic cymbal that brings breakthrough V-Cymbal technology to a very affordable price point. This expressive dual-trigger cymbal offers the natural rebound, inertia, and "swinging" motion of an acoustic cymbal-plus cymbal choke capabilities - making it perfect for use as a ride, crash, or even a splash cymbal on V-Drums systems and other electronic drum sets.

Roland CY-12R/C V-Cymbal Customer Review

Overall: 4 out of 5 stars
(see rating details)
It's a pretty heavy piece which I think makes it feel much more like an accoustic cymbal. Your ride is one of the most used pieces on your kit, so get a good one.
Sound
It's good. Pretty broad range of sensitivity. You have to hit the bell pretty hard to get it to trigger.
Features
It comes with a mount for your boom that let's it swing in and out when you play it, but keeps the choke edge pointed towards you.
Value
Pretty stiff, but worth it. I like my Roland cymbals better than Hart or Pintech gear.
Manufacturer Support
Never used them. No problems with my Roland gear yet.
The Wow Factor
If you use Roland gear, you need one of these. Get the 15" if you can afford it. I'm going to upgrade to one as soon as I can, but I will keep this one for a crash.
