Re: [DESIGN] 2Z/3Z Choke Capable Cymbal (by PFozz)

[bgibson72]

Hello! I finally got around to trying this out, and it works great with my crash cymbals. I noticed a few oddities though–one of my crashes triggers great when the cable is cocked parallel to the cymbal rather than “hanging” down. Also, I must not have understood the concept of the 2 zone cymbal as it’s not triggering the way I intended. Can someone help me with this setup (i believe in the KISS method!)? I wired the cymbal as I would a drum, with head and rim piezo’s (head=bell, rim=bow/edge). This doesn’t seem to work. This is on my ride, where I would like the bell to be independent of the bow/edge. Also, I seem to be getting an odd triggering with this same cymbal as it sounds like a single hit is retriggering or echoing. I tried to adjust the retrigger, threshold, scan time, etc. with no luck (Roland TD-8). Is it all due to the wrong wiring? If anyone can help, I sure would appreciate it!!

Thanks in advance!
