Cymbal
Playing method Explanation
Bow shot
Nuance changes depending on
the strike location
This is the most common playing method, playing the
middle area of the cymbal. It corresponds to the sound of
the “head-side” of the connected trigger input.
Edge shot
Edge sensor
This playing method involves striking the edge with the
shoulder of the stick. When played as shown in the gure,
the “rim-side” sound of the connected input is triggered.
Bell shot
A CY-15R used as a ride cymbal will play the rim sound of the
connected trigger input when you strike the bell area shown
in the illustration.
Strike the bell somewhat strongly with the shoulder of the
stick.
* On the CY-14C and CY-12C, bell shots are not supported
Choke play
Edge sensor
Roland logo
Choking (pinching) the cymbal’s edge with the hand
immediately after hitting the cymbal makes the sound stop.
Choke the location of the edge sensor shown in the gure. If
you choke an area where there is no sensor, the sound does
not stop.
