Making the Settings

Mounting on the Stand

1. 

Use a commercially available drum key to 

tighten the stopper bolt.

The stopper keeps the V-Cymbal from turning, 

preventing the tangling of cables on the stand.

Attach the stopper 

so that the bolt 

is on the right-

hand side, from 

the performer’s 

perspective.

Tighten the included felt washer and the 

wing nut to obtain the desired movement.

*  Use the included felt washer and wing nut.
*  Double sounding may occur if the wing nut is loose.

4. 

Secure the cables in place with the cable 

tie, and leave some slack in the cables 

to ensure they are not pulled by the 

movement of the V-Cymbal pads.

pads and/ or the stand. A cable touching a V-Cymbal pad or a 

stand may cause double sounding or other incorrect operation.

Connecting to a Percussion Sound Module

*  To prevent malfunction and/or damage to speakers or other 

devices, always turn down the volume, and turn off the power on 

all devices before making any connections.

*  Use the supplied connection cables (stereo) to make the 

connections. If monaural cables are used, edge shots, bell shots, 

and choke play cannot be supported.

Connect the L-shaped plug of the included cable to the 

CY-13R/12C.

About three-way triggering (CY-13R only)

The CY-13R can take advantage of your percussion 

sound module’s three-way triggering functionality 

to allow you to play bow, bell, and edge 

separately.
Connect the two outputs BOW/BELL and BOW/

EDGE to the percussion sound module at the 

same time. 

For details on the connection method and 

settings, refer to the owner’s manual for your 

percussion sound module.

*   If you won’t be using the three-way triggering 

functionality, connect the BOW/EDGE OUTPUT jack 

(not both) to your percussion sound module.

*   Although you’ll be able to play using the bow and bell 

sections when connected to the BELL OUTPUT jack, you 

won’t be able to use the choking technique.
