    Default Roland CY-8 cymbal problem!

    Hey guys.

    I recently bought a Roland CY-8 cymbal to replace my old unknown one. So yesterday I attached my new Roland Cymbal to my drum kit, and I immediately figured out a major problem. The cymbal works great on its own, but when I hit the cymbal simultaneously with any other pad, the cymbal wont register a hit. (The Kick Pedal being the worst case, as the cymbal almost never registers a hit simultaneous with the Bass)

    I tried adjusting the sensitivity, as well as crosstalk, but I can't seem to figure out the problem. My old unknown Cymbal didn't have the same problem, so I guess my Module is not causing the problem? I've got the Yamaha DTXPress IV by the way.

    Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

    Did you buy this cymbal new?..if so, why not take it back and get a Yamaha PCY-135...they're a much better cymbal than the CY-8 and not that much more expensive..RMC Audio sells them for $119 shipped, I believe.
    As far as compatibility goes...not sure...I've used Yamaha e-cymblas with roland modules with no problems...but haven't tried the other way around..doesn;t seem like it would be a problem..just not completely sure

    Yeah, I bought the cymbal completely new. I could return it, and buy the one you mentioned, but how will I know if that one will work properly?

    Also, what is the difference between the 2 cymbals. What makes the Yamaha one better? And while I'm here, what cables will I need in order to make dual triggering work on the mentioned cymbals?
