Cymbal
Bow shot
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
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.
Striking directly on the edge (i.e., exactly
from the side) will not produce the correct
sound. Strike as shown in the illustration.
Bell shot
This is the technique of striking the
bell. When the bell area shown in the
illustration is struck, the bell sound is
heard.
Connect a compatible pad to the TRIGGER
IN (10 RIDE - BELL) jack, or connect a pad
that allows the bell shot technique and
supports a digital connection (such as the
CY-18DR), and assign it to ride.
Choke play
If you use your hand to choke (grasp) the
edge sensor after striking the cymbal, the
sound stops.
With the CY-18DR, the sound stops even if
you simply place your hand on the sensor
detection area.
The sound is shorter when you strike the
cymbal while it is choked or muted.
