Roland CY-14R-T V-Cymbal Ride
The Roland CY-14R-T brings a new level of realism to your V-Drums setup. As part of Roland’s "T" (Thin) series, this ride cymbal features a significantly thinner profile than previous generations, providing a more natural swing, authentic tactile feel, and improved acoustic-like response when struck. Whether you are playing light jazz or aggressive rock, the CY-14R-T reacts with the nuance and precision professional drummers demand.
Advanced 3-Way Triggering
Precision is key to a realistic performance. The CY-14R-T supports advanced 3-way triggering—allowing for distinct sounds when you strike the bow, the bell, or the edge. This provides the same versatile sonic range found on acoustic ride cymbals, enabling you to execute complex patterns, delicate stick work, and powerful cymbal swells with total confidence.
Designed for Professional Expression
Because the CY-14R-T is thinner, it moves more like a real cymbal when struck, giving you better visual and physical feedback. It is compatible with all standard Roland V-Drums sound modules and provides the consistent, high-fidelity triggering that has made Roland the industry standard for electronic percussion. If you are looking to upgrade your current ride cymbal to something that feels closer to an acoustic instrument, the CY-14R-T is the perfect choice.

Common Customer Questions Answered
Does this cymbal support the "choke" function?
Yes. Like all professional-grade Roland V-Cymbals, the CY-14R-T supports the choke technique, allowing you to stop the sound instantly by grabbing the edge of the cymbal.
Is this cymbal compatible with my drum module?
The CY-14R-T is compatible with virtually all modern Roland V-Drums modules. For optimal use of the 3-way triggering features, ensure your drum module supports dedicated bell and edge inputs.
What is the benefit of the "T" series over older models?
The "T" stands for "Thin." By reducing the thickness of the cymbal pad, Roland has achieved a much more authentic feel. The cymbal wobbles and responds more like a real metal cymbal, which significantly improves the drummer's connection to the instrument.
