The Nantel Verdict
The Nantel Verdict
Significantly reduced thickness improves tactile feedback and stick articulation; natural swinging motion mimics acoustic decay behavior; even response across the surface eliminates dead zones; proprietary V-Cymbal technology balances sensitivity with durability.
Requires compatible Roland V-Drum module (TD-50X or newer recommended); mounting bracket and cymbal stand already included. Thinner construction demands softer mallets for longevity. Consider pairing with matching hi-hat and ride cymbals for cohesive sound design.
At this price point, the CY-12C-T delivers genuine expressiveness without compromising durability. Its thinness isn't a compromise—it's the whole point. A thoughtful upgrade for players who've felt electronic cymbals were too rigid.

Dual-trigger sensors provide independent sounds on the bow and edge, and the cymbal can be choked simply by grabbing the edge–just like a real acoustic cymbal.
