Re: Roland CY-5 as a hihat

2006-07-06 by geerayman

The list on it is $95, and most on-line places I've seen have it for 
$80-$85.  I was very, very surprised that Sam Ash had it for $69, so I 
couldn't pass it up.  They are marketing it as a cheap hihat cymbal 
(as in the TD-3SW kits) or as a cheap splash.  Either way, you get bow 
and edge triggering, and chokability, so it really is a bit of a 
bargain.  Who would have thought?
