The Yamaha PCY155 is a 10", 3-zone cymbal pad with an edge zone, bow zone, and cup zone. This enables you to recreate the unique sounds that are produced when you play the different parts of a cymbal. The pad responds realistically to subtle dynamics and faithfully reproduces delicate cymbal strokes, hard hits, and choking. Cymbal swinging and stick bouncing are also reproduced realistically so that the pad feels natural for drummers who are accustomed to acoustic drums. Great for live performance, recording, or practice
