Yamaha PCY135 13″ 3-Zone “choke-able” Electronic Cymbal Pad
The PCY135 is a 13″ electronic cymbal pad capable of 3-zone operation when connected to compatible Yamaha DTX drum trigger modules. 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. Optional CYAT150 cymbal-boom attachment clamp is required when adding onto an existing setup.

A Highly Versatile Pad that will open up your e-kit There were several reasons that made me decide picking up a Yamaha PCY cymbal pad would be a good choice. First, the 3 zones give my drum module a huge boost in versatility, which opens up a world of creative choices. Next, I don’t have to worry about breaking my real cymbals anymore. Should the pad stop working and need repair or replacement, a new one is still cheaper than most good, new cymbals, and of course the pad can sound like any cymbal out there (or the sound of anything that is…
Works good as a Hi Hat too. I have 4 of these. 2 crashes a ride and I use one as a hi hat with the Yamaha HH 65 hi hat pedal and the DTX502 module.I was using a PCY100 that came with the set as a hi hat. So I figured why not a PCY135 as a more realistic 13″ hi hat? Its the same type of 3 zone as the PCY100. It works great. Much better than the funky pcy100 and a lot cheaper than the expensive RHH135 hi hat. I just tightened the cymbal down a bit more so it feels firmer like a hi hat would. With the PCY135 I get…
Exactly what I was looking for Having purchased a Yamaha DTX-500 drum rig, I wanted the chokable cymbals I had heard about. (Well, one would do for starters.) When I found this little beauty, I got even more than that. The three response zones are highly effective, and with some kits, you get a bizarre mix of sounds that don’t even show up with the regular cymbal. The choke feature works really well (YAY, now I can play “Eye of the Tiger” — I mean, should I ever wish to). A caveat: the cymbal support that comes…
