The Roland CY-8 is a 12-inch electronic cymbal pad with two triggers, one for the bow and one for the edge. It swings on its mount like an acoustic cymbal and supports choke play when you grab the edge. It suits drummers building or upgrading a Roland V-Drums kit who want a more realistic crash or ride feel than a flat rubber pad. Against smaller single-zone pads it adds edge triggering and choking, though it is not a three-zone ride and has no bell trigger.

Owners of Roland kits treat the CY-8 as a reliable, natural-feeling cymbal pad. They like the swing and choke response and find it quiet enough for home use. Some wish it had a bell zone for ride work.
The Roland CY-8 is a 12-inch cymbal pad for electronic drum setups. It has a dual-trigger design, so the bow (head) and the edge (rim) can be triggered separately. It also lets you choke the cymbal to cut the sound off.
The pad moves with a swaying motion and responds well to playing. Its look is closer to a real cymbal than earlier pads.
