Frequently Asked Questions
The stop sensor accurately cuts off the cymbal’s sound, mimicking the damping of a real ride, providing more expressive control.
No, the CY-18DR is specifically engineered to work with Roland’s TD-27 and TD-50 drum modules; compatibility with others isn’t supported.
The cymbal surface isn't designed for user replacement; it's an integral part of the sensor assembly, making repairs complex.
