Roland CY-13RBK 13" V-Cymbal Ride 4-stars Reviews

Welcome addition to my Roland TD 17KV setup

The overall cymbal quality is great, which is to be expected from most Roland hardware. Nicely weighted and balanced to mimic an acoustic ride cymbal. The only caveat I would highlight is the Bell portion which requires a bit of a thump to properly trigger, however if you're playing mainly rock style sets, you'll quickly get the hang of it.

Great cymbal at this price point.

It's ok.

Got this one to go with my TD-17KV.

Huge upgrade over the standard cymbal pads that come with the kit. (This one comes standard with the TD-17KVX).

It plays well and has a nice swinging motion when you loosen the nut a bit if you like that sort of thing.

My one problem with this is the bell trigger. It's kind of unrealiable, It seems to be a common problem with the Non-digital Roland rides. Sometimes I need to smack it really hard for the bell to trigger, I also feel the trigger spot is very specific.

All in all still a good purchase.
