Yamaha top class cymbal
The E-Drum Cymbal Pads PCY 135, PCY 155 and PCY 175 are the upper class of electronic cymbals by Yamaha. In sizes of 13", 15" and 17" you can integrate them as a classic crash and Crash cymbal in your E-Drum. On modules from Yamaha, 2Box and with the Pearl Mimic you can operate each of the cymbals as a 3-zone cymbal. They deliver faithful signals of your playing on Edge, Bow and Cup to these modules. As 2-zone cymbals with Edge and Bow, they are perfect for use as crash cymbals on most other modules. A 13" hi-hat rounds off the sophisticated cymbal family.
Versatile use
The size of this cymbal with 15" corresponds with the diameter of an acoustic Crash cymbal and its compactness makes it an ideal e-cymbal. As an acoustic drummer - and that's how most of us started out - this "real" size suits you to the maximum when it comes to playing technique. You can play your figures and beats just like on a conventional acoustic Crash cymbal.
3-zone crash and ride cymbal with high dynamic range on Edge, Bow and Cup
The cymbal works as a 3-zone crash and ride cymbal with Edge, Bow and Cup with all modules of Yamaha, with the modules from 2Box and the Mimic by Pearl. There it provides differentiated signals of your performance in a remarkable dynamic range.
Large 2-zone crash cymbal for all sound modules
With the above mentioned devices and almost all other modules on the market you can also play the cymbal as a 2-zone chrash. With clean trigger signals from your playing on Edge and Bow, it passes on your individual playing style true to life. Of course, you can also assign splash, china or FX signals to the e-cymbal. There are no limits to your creativity.
Natural playing feel
The cymbal of the PCY series can be played on the entire surface, on the edge and on the cup and you can choke it with your hand. The cymbal responds sensitively to your hits and strokes and its attack dynamics are breathtakingly real. The cup and bow respond palpably direct when played with the tip of the stick, while the stroke of the cymbal's edge with the shaft of the stick makes the cymbal dive away like a real cymbal. The rotation stopper keeps the e-cymbal's alignment always at the ideal strike angle for your playing.

Great Cymbals - work really well and much better value than Roland or ATV
I use a Roland Module (TD-50) and wanted to have more acoustic sized crashes than the Roland CY12RC and CY13C I had ... to go along with the CY18DR ride (as it made them look like splashes!). I looked at CY14C(T), CY15R(T) and CY16R(T) and ATV Artist 14" and 16" options, but in the end I bought two PCY155s as crashes.
And I am really glad I did. They trigger great (bow and edge) and the choke worked straight away on the CY15R settings (just a few adjustments on sensitivity and rim). They swing relatively realistically.
They look good - I like the fake hammering on the bow lathing on the edge. My only negative is the anti-spin being visible - but with a cympad "felt" and a wing nut they are less intrusive and the gray plastic around the centre hole stands out.
Much cheaper than Roland and ATV ... and really good!
Für den Preis Top.
Das Becken funktioniert an meinem 2 Box drumit three Modul tadellos. Alle 3 Zonen + Choke funktionieren wie man es sich wünscht. Leider nicht mehr wenn ich es mit dem PC an Superior Drummer 2 anknöpfe, denn da macht der choke Modus Probleme. Beim zu starken zuschlagen auf die edge reagiert dieser nämlich. 2 box selbst scheint das Problem mit einem internen X-talk gelöst zu haben, so dass der choke beim bespielen der edge nicht greift, zumal aber angezeigt wird, dass dieser ein choke Befehl abgibt. Superior Drummer kann damit nicht umgehen. Für mich in einer Studio Situation demnach leider nicht zu gebrauchen. Für 125€ wäre dies leider auch zu viel erwartet gewesen.
Weil die Nutzung für mich deswegen hinfällig ist, oder zumindest unnötig konkurriert geworden ist, gibt es von mir nur 7 von 10 Sternen.
Läuft super am Roland Modul und für diesen Preis war das eine gute Wahl - Daraufhin habe ich mir nun gleich einen ganzen Yamaha Satz zugelegt (100/135 und das grosse Ride)für einen Gesamtpreis eines einzigen Roland Cymbals. Nur riechen die Becken etwas chemisch am Anfang - kann man aber abwischen - deswegen 1 Punkt Abzug.
Klasse Becken mit hervorragenden Eigenschaften in Sachen Gewicht und Anschlagsdynamik. Wird bei mir in Verbindung mit einem Roland TD 12 Modul genutzt und war ohne Nachjustierungen am Gerät direkt und einwandfrei zu verwenden. Ideale Alternative zu den teuren Roland Cymbals! Drum Tec hat zudem, wie gewohnt, für die unschlagbar kurze Lieferzeit und beste Zufriedenheit gesorgt.
