Pintech PercussionTC14 14" Trigger Cymbal,Black,white

I have a Yamaha DTX M12 with a Roland KT-10 kick pedal, Due to the limitations of the M12 that the HH65 pedal and a cymbal pad was the most practical option for some hi-hat work.I am limited to using this cymbal pad as a single zone pad.Is it the greatest electronic cymbal pad ever? Probably not. It's plastic. It's loud. The rebound is there, but I can't really do press rolls on it.Are you going to find a better cymbal pad for the pricetag? I paid $40 for this cymbal pad and am thoroughly impressed with it. Every stroke of my sticks registered with the M12, and though the M12 built in hi-hat sounds are limited to open/close, chic, and splash, this is going to work out great for my hi-hat cymbal. I haven't even put it on a stand yet, but I can already tell that it's going to be much better to the left of my XP80 snare pad than using the M12 pads for hi-hat work. Without a hi-hat pad I was forced to switch my lead hand for any two handed hi-hat rolls.If I later decide to add a RHH135 and a hi-hat for a more realistic feel, I will probably still find a way to make use of this pintech cymbal pad. It is responsive. It may not have choke functions, but as a second hi-hat or a ride or crash that may never mute, this pad will do the job.Ultimately I wouldn't mind something layered in silicon that isn't as loud to strike... but this thing is much much nicer than I anticipated for $40 cymbal pad.

I found an open-box 14" cymbal here for $23, and thought "This is too good to pass up." It's worth about what I paid. Using it as a hi-hat, it's just too loud acoustically for my needs. It worked well on my HH stand, and my clutch fit it without any squeezing or fussing, which is more than I can say for other brands of e-cymbal. But for apartment practice, which is my primary use case, it's too loud (or at least too high-pitched) acoustically compared to the Yamaha PCY80s (discontinued) that I'm currently using.Pluses:* Full cymbal shape balances well on stand* Triggers well* Solid, rather than hollow plasticMinuses:* Rather flimsy plastic (you can bend the thing in half with your hands)* Acoustically noisy* Single-zone triggeringIf you're looking to use this cymbal as a base for your own tinkering, perhaps adding a full foam layer, or if you want to take it apart to look at the electronics, it's a pretty good deal. To throw onto a stand, plug in and go, it's just not the right tool for me. I prefer it to the smaller Alesis DMPad 12" HH cymbal and Roland CY-5 that I've also tried, however.For this price, I'll be selling the Alesis and Roland and keeping this one as a backup.

Stoked on this cymbal . Great for the price and pretty sensitive , you may have to do a couple tweaks here and there and your module but it works great. I use this one for just a bell ride and have not had any issue. If you are on a budget and have a pretty decent drum brain... GET A COUPLE !

Added this as a Ride cymbal as it gives a more realistic look and feel! As other reviews state it does not come with any hardware so keep that in mind. I was lucky as I had another arm and 1.5 inch clamp lying around. There were no issues with my module not recognizing the Pintech as its a pretty simple concept. I plan on purchasing their tc cymbals and expanding my remaining rim zones to be split to ad more cymbals and toms.I am using Addictive drums 2 through my laptop for an amazing experience miles ahead of the Alesis module sounds. AD2 was a bit costly but worth every penny.Also tested on my ipad using garageband and it worked fine as well.Be creative, adapt more, complain less!

I already have purchased the TC10 10" cymbal and I was so impressive that I turned right around and purchased this 14" cymbal. I am needing to add more cymbals to my Alesis Surge kit and these cymbals work great!!! They feel cheap and flimsy and try to slightly move while playing but I got that problem fixed. For the price you can't go wrong with these cymbals but time will tell how long they last. I play metal music but I'm not a drummer who tries to kill his kit while playing so I think that I shouldn't have any issues.

When I received the cymbal, it was warped. That itself wasn't a huge deal since it was so cheap and it wouldn't impact the sound of the cymbal. The cymbal itself is physically loud and lets out a dull "whump" when you hit it. It's loud enough that I can hear the "whump" even with headphones in turned up to 70%. Sensitivity and triggering are also terrible. About 5% of the time it will double trigger and even the softest hit produces something around 50% loudness in contrast with an alesis cymbal that might produce 10% loudness. Occasionally subsequent hits will even mute the previous sound.I'm not sure if all of these are manufacturing defects (given the physical deformation), but I wish now that I'd just paid more for another alesis or roland cymbal.
