Yamaha PCY100 10-Inch 3-Zone Cymbal Pad

Yamaha PCY100 10-Inch 3-Zone Cymbal Pad - Edge, Bow, and Cup Capable

The Yamaha PCY100 cymbal pad consists of 3 separate zones, an edge zone, a bow zone, and a cup zone. This enables the pad to recreate the unique sounds that are produced when you hit different parts of a cymbal. The pad responds accurately to subtle differences in dynamics during performance and can faithfully reproduce delicate cymbal playing, powerful hits, and choking. Also, cymbal swinging and stick bouncing are reproduced realistically so that the pad feels natural even for drummers who normally perform on acoustic drums. Using this pad for cymbal performance training will also bring excellent results. In addition, PCY100 is able to be used as a Hi-Hat pad by switching off the Cup Switch.
