Review on πŸ₯ 14-Inch Black Roland CY-14C V-Cymbal Electric Drum Crash by Rashid Summers

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Good value for money.

Roland V-Drum pads are notoriously expensive, but they're the best. The CY-13R and a pair of CY-5s are good, relatively inexpensive replacements for the outdated PD-6 pads I used for cymbals. However, the edge/top trigger difference between the CY-5 and PD-x is not as good as the PD-x pads. Overall I'm very happy with them - they work well and look a lot better. You need to buy cymbal bars if you use pad mounts. Remember that you have two driving cables, one for two triggers and one for the third; You must ensure that inputs are available on your drum module. It was a little unexpected; I expected it to be three lanes with L, R and LR. But you don't have to use both inputs; You can use a bell/cymbal cable or an edge/cymbal cable. I have no real use for the Edge and have opted for the former rather than sacrificing one of my AUX inputs which I use for the optional PD-80. The ride feel is much closer to a metal cymbal than a PD-6 pad.
