- How long have you use it?

I bought my drumkit about 4 months ago, and these cymbals are the best value in the range roland: their modules are too expensive for what it is, their skin mesh as well.
their hi-hats, nine is not worth trying.

and when the cymbals: 3 categories:
Cy-the hyper-5 low-end, worse than typing on a piece of hard plastic
The 8-cy great price, great quality: only defect, we can not play on any cymbal, but it is rarely good anyway!
Cy12 them, 14.15. very expensive.
CY-8 is dual sensor, and even management of choking, choke! great for the price!

I tried the cy-5, CY-8 and cy-12 in charley.
frankly, the cy-8 tearing everything. CY-12 ch'tit is a little better, but too expensive.

With experience, I would put all of my drum cymbals in electronic cy-8!

Hello,

I just read the advice below etj'ai exactly the same problem! I bought the TD3-KW in October 2006 (1 year ago ending for then) and I see a few months dgradation of the surface state (marking the surface becomes dull and "peel "much like the plastic peels pencil eraser) in my ride cymbal and more lgrement of charley. Embtant seen the price of the gear (80 cymbal for a plastic disc of the same whole), and especially for the short duration of use ... Besides it is not trs Aesthetics!

While I play trsrgulirement (3-4 times / week a little less than an hour) but I did not feel "buggers" at all! And trs jsuis rather careful so ...

I will also go to my dealer, it would seem normal to have a free replacement of the cymbal but I am skeptical trs: we will probably say: "It's normal wear and tear, or alter it re not the sound ... " what is true short term but what about in 2 years?? ... when the guarantee is over?
But if several people have encountered this default, then there is a chance that Roland is aware ProCD and quick replacement without batting an eyelid. So thank you to my attention (in my mailbox or on Audiofanzine this forum) if you also encounter this default, appearing on the gear rcent.

Otherwise, to conclude as the Previous post, the TD3 is great!

For how long have you been using it?
9 months
Did you try many other models before getting this one?
not
What thing do you like most/least about it?
most, the sensitivity, the 2 areas hit .... when she walks!
The least?
I had 2 CY-8 and CY-5 and even worries .... suddenly strikes some TRIGGERS do not sound, and frequency of these "bugs" until further adding to the cymbal does not work at all! (Or 1 / 10 times ... qque is the strike force)
What is your opinion about the value for the price?
No one, it does not work
Knowing what you know now, would you make the same choice? ...
In your opinion .....

Well I hope all other owners of CY-8 that comes from the AC series, because 3 / 3 which déconnent .... we must not mess ^ ^
Note 1 / 10 when it works well because it was nickel
