MPS-400 Stereo Cymbal Pad : good n cheap replacement for roland

9 years ago

I use this cymbal pad as a second crash and china for my Roland TD-11.

It has cymbal adapter you should use to allow cymbal wave properly + cable.

Looks like a larger copy of Roland CY-8 but it has lower sensitivity to my mind, I had to tune the settings in drum module to make the pad sound on the same volume level as standard CY-8.

I think it's a good option for those who what to enlarge their e-drum setup for lower price.

UPDATE

It turned out that it has a different resistance compared to Roland cymbals. Therefore it was a tricky thing to connected it via drum splitter cable (1 stereo jack - out of module, 1 mono jack to rack tom, 1 mono jack to this cymbal). Instead of a full sound this cymbal allowed me to produce a choke sound only.
