Electronic Ride Cymbal – Triple-Zone Realism for Hybrid and eDrum Kits
Share
The ride cymbal is one of the most expressive parts of a drummer’s setup. When moving to electronic drums, choosing the right electronic ride cymbal is crucial for retaining control, nuance, and realism — especially for jazz, rock, or dynamic live playing
Unlike standard crash pads, a triple-zone ride cymbal includes distinct trigger zones for bow, edge, and bell, allowing you to replicate acoustic playing techniques with full MIDI control
At World Drummers, we offer a complete line of professional electronic ride cymbals that are compatible with Roland, Alesis, 2Box, and other drum modules
What Is an Electronic Ride Cymbal?
An electronic ride cymbal is a pad designed to replicate the look and feel of an acoustic ride, with built-in sensors to trigger different articulations
Key features include:
– Triple-zone triggering: bell, bow, and edge
– Large diameter (15”–20”) for realism
– 360° choke capability
– TRS or dual-cable inputs depending on module
– Silicone or soft rubber playing surface
– Edge sensitivity for crashes and accents
– Bell articulation for defined ping
