Historical Context and Positioning in the Range
Multi-zone electronic cymbals have become a standard to emulate the behavior of an acoustic cymbal. This 3-zone design meets the expectations of drummers who want to regain distinct articulations and more natural playing on electronic drums.
Who This Drum/Instrument Is For
This electronic cymbal is aimed at intermediate to advanced drummers seeking greater precision and realism, especially for rock, pop, funk, metal, and all music styles where bell accents and edge hits matter.
Features and Innovations
The three-zone structure allows assigning distinct sounds and better control over playing intentions. With a 3-zone compatible module, you can fully exploit the variations between the pad, edge, and bell.
Sound
The reproduction of vibrations and "live" behavior enhances the perception of dynamics and realism at the attack. The different zones facilitate a more credible interpretation of patterns, accents, and transitions, bringing electronic playing closer to the feel of an acoustic cymbal.
