Well, my teacher gave me a 14″ plastic training cymbal, I just had to set a piezo under it and connect to my Yamaha brain with a 1/4″ mono jack – and presto, a single zone secondary crash! 🙂
Blaufeld’s solution will work for a single zone cymbal.
A plastic cymbal is very noisy, though and you can dampen it with the bitumen tape trick.
If you plan to build a a 3Z cymbal from a plastic training cymbal, then THEORICALLY, it should work…
But I haven’t tested this solution myself (I should, actually).
