V-Cymbal—Mounting & Setup

V-Cymbals require the use of the supplied Rotation

Stopper, felt, and wing nut to function properly.

The cast Rotation Stopper is used to keep the

cymbal from rotating on the cymbal arm.

The CY-12H V-Hi-Hat does not use the cast Rotation

Stopper.

Also required is one cable for each cymbal (2 for the

CY-15R & CY-12R/C triple trigger rides, found on the

TD-20S & TD-12S drum sets).

Place the cast Rotation Stopper on the cymbal arm as

shown in the photo to the right, and tighten it snuggly

to the cymbal arm. From the players perspective, the

Rotation Stopper should be parallel to

the player. This keeps the chokeable

area of the V-Cymbal's edge in the

proper position for playing and

choking.

The Rotation Stopper

When placed on the MDY-10U arm, the Roland

logo should be correctly readable from the

player’s position. The chokeable portion of the

cymbal is the 1/2 of the pad that is opposite of

the Roland logo. This positioning is essential to

using the choke feature, as well as playing the

edge trigger.

Plug the supplied stereo cord into the 1/4” jack on

the middle underside of the V-Cymbal

(The CY-15R &

CY-12R/C ride cymbals found on the TD-20 & TD-12S

drum sets each use 2 stereo cables, Bell/Bow into the

“Ride” input & Bow/Edge into the “Ride Edge” input).

Set the cymbal onto the Rotation Stopper already on

the cymbal arm, and screw on the felt and wing nut.
