I purchased this for about $185 on sale. If you can get it at that price then it's a good value. That's about 35% off of the regular price for one of these. This is the same type of cymbal that came with my TD-27 KV, so it was a no brainer for me to get this so I could emulate my usual drum setup on my electronic kit.This does include all the stuff you need to add it to your cymbal stand, so you get the rotation lock and cable.I ordered the cy14 but they sent me an older version with white underside. The harder white plastic, will break faster than the newer black flex plastic. Item was returned.Roland's V-Drum pads are notoriously expensive, but they are the best. A CY-13R and a pair of CY-5's are a nice relatively cost-effective replacement for the aging PD-6 pads I was using for cymbals. That said, the CY-5 edge/top trigger distinction is not quite as good as the PD-x pads. On balance I am quite happy with them -- they work well and look much better. You do need to get cymbal booms if you are using pad bar-mounts.Beware that you have two cables for the ride, one for two triggers, and one for the third; you'll need to be sure you have the available inputs on your drum module. That was a bit of a surprise; I had expected it would do the three-way with L, R, and LR. But you don't need to use both inputs; you can use one cable for bell/cymbal or one for edge/cymbal. I have no real use for the edge and elected for the former, rather than sacrifice one of my AUX inputs which I use for a extra PD-80. The feel of the ride is much truer to a metal cymbal than the PD-6 pad.Worked exactly as expected. I’m using it as a hi-hat on my TD-11 kit.This cymbal is pretty cool. When using it as a ride, you can utilize the "bell" as well as the rest of the cymbal. A fair price too.Works great feels great looks great 5 starsScrews on top and bottom are just long enough to barely tighten down, but not secure enough to hold with any strength. I found some longer screws, so hopefully its strong enough. I dont have a great deal of confidence.Other than that, everything seems fine.Bought it new less than year ago, it quit working, disappointed for the price I paid for it!!!!great no problems!I added it on my TD-11K drums as I like using 2 crashes when I play.This does not come with a pole, you have to buy the pole seperatly.Replaced the original cymbal in my twelve year old TDK3V. Back to working properly againExcellent delivery method of keeping me up to date on delivery time which is really important when at work. Best method i've come across - thanks :) My son loves the cymbals!Bought as an additional cymbal for my TD30, taking me to 4 crash cymbals. Usual Roland quality. Professional equipment and at a decent price.Good quality vDrums two-zone crash cymbal, a nice addition to my vDrums kit. Does exactly what you'd expect.
