The CY-18DR V-Cymbal Digital Ride from Roland is a multi-element sensor designed to produce a natural cymbal sound for the TD-50 drum sound module. The sensor enables the cymbal sounds to change naturally in different positions on the cymbal, from edge to bow to bell, which allows ride-cymbal play to be faithfully reproduced.

Whether you're playing legato cymbal swells, soft strokes on the bell, or strong crash accents on the edge, the V-cymbal captures each playing technique accurately. In addition, you can choke the cymbal with your hand and can softly mute the bow of the cymbal with a simple touch of a finger.
