Hey, What's the difference between the pcy65S and the pcy80S and which one is better? And what about the new ones 130S and 150S. Are they worth to pay a few bucks more? Thanks for all answers Danny

As you probably know, the 80s cymbal (DTX, DTXpressI, DTXtremeI) preceded the 65s (DTXpressII and IIISTD), which has the same wedge shape but a slightly different texture and arrangement of piezo and switch. Members seemed to think that it handled the choking function better. I also seem to recall that its price was lower. The 130s and 150s, which came out with the DTXpressIIISP and DTXtremeIIS, are Yamaha's first round cymbals. The 150s has three areas that voice (bell/bow/edge) rather than the traditional two (bow/edge). By all accounts, these new ones are worth the extra money. Personally, I think that Yamaha made a misstep by not offering round cymbals at the outset. They were a long time in coming. Ed

The PCY150S will only work properly on a Dtxpress II/III/IIIsp or the Dtxtreme IIS. It will work on the other modules from Yamaha, but you will only get two of the three zones to work. The PCY130/130S will work on any Yamaha module. So the question is, "Which module are you currently using?". OGD _____
