Simmons Electronic Metal Cymbal 3-Pack

This Simmons Electronic Metal Cymbal 3-Pack gives drummers full-sized electronic cymbal pads that respond and look like real cymbals. This three-piece set includes the MC13, MC16 and MC18, each crafted from metal to match the weight and feel of acoustic gear. Each pad delivers three separate zones—bell, bow and edge—plus a choke sensor, letting you play with precision and dynamics. Dual output jacks connect these cymbals to nearly any electronic drum module, making them a direct upgrade or replacement for most stock pads. Use them to add life to your e-kit, upgrade your crash, ride or hi-hat, or create a more natural stage presence. The rubber pad surface keeps noise down for quiet practice, yet keeps your playing crisp and realistic.

Three-Zone Triggering Expands Your Playing Options

Each cymbal in this pack uses a three-zone trigger system. Hit the bell, bow or edge, and each spot sends a unique signal to your drum module. This design lets drummers play with detailed, nuanced expression—just like on acoustic cymbals. The built-in choke sensor works with compatible modules, so you can mute the sound instantly with your hand. The three-zone layout and choke function let you use standard acoustic technique for more musical control.

Full-Sized Metal Pads Enhance Feel and Response

The MC13, MC16 and MC18 measure 13", 16" and 18", giving your kit a true-to-life look and feel. Their metal construction gives drummers the right amount of swing and rebound, making every hit feel familiar. Using full-sized cymbals helps players develop real technique and muscle memory, especially when moving between electronic and acoustic kits. The realistic build supports confident playing in any setting.

Flexible Connections Suit Most Electronic Drum Modules

Each pad in the three-piece cymbal set uses single- or dual-cable outputs, working with most brands' drum modules—not just Simmons. The included anti-rotation stopper fits standard cymbal stands and racks, so you can add these pads to any setup. Swapping out old cymbal pads is quick, and the wide compatibility makes upgrading simple. This means you can use the pack as a main set or expand your current rig, all without fuss.

Metal and Rubber Construction Balances Durability and Quiet Play

The Simmons cymbals use a metal body and rubber pad surface. This blend gives you the weight and resilience of real cymbals, but with noise control for home or studio use. The rubber also protects sticks and hands while reducing unwanted overtones. These materials make the pads tough enough for daily practice and reliable in live setups, all while keeping volume to a minimum.

Player Experience With the Simmons Electronic Metal Cymbal 3-Pack

This set suits intermediate and advanced players who want to close the gap between electronic and acoustic drumming. The full-size cymbal pads help build real technique, and the three-zone design responds to every nuance. Drummers who want a more genuine feel and look on stage or in practice will notice how much these cymbals improve performance. The Simmons pack delivers a more authentic playing experience and helps develop skills that transfer to any drum setup.

Electronic cymbals have come a long way since the 1970s. Thanks to the many breakthroughs in digital technology, electronic cymbals now have the ability to replicate the feel and sound of a regular acoustic cymbal. Of course, there are other upsides to owning electronic drum cymbals as well, and every day, more professional drummers are beginning to realize it. So what are some benefits of playing electronic cymbals? For one, they give you the ability to set a preferred volume of what you're hitting, which is a huge plus to drummers who live in residential areas, and also for players who like to warm up backstage before a set. Two other advantages is that your drumsticks will last longer when you practice with electronic cymbals since you don't have to hit them as hard to get a desired sound, and they also require less maintenance than regular acoustic cymbals.

By taking a look through this catalog, you'll notice that there are many top-rated items and best sellers. For example, check out the Roland CY-15R V-Cymbal ride. Featuring a wide tonal range and an acoustic cymbal-like response, this 15" electronic ride contains a selectable dual-trigger system that allows it to function as both a ride and a crash. Now, if a hi-hat is what you're after, then go with the Alesis Pro X. This dual-cymbal hi-hat controller brings a natural feel to Alesis DM10 and DM8 drummers. In fact, the Pro X hi-hat was precisely calibrated for those two e-drum sets, and will certainly expand the expressive capabilities of what each kit can do for your performance. Whether you're an experienced player who's looking for an alternative to an acoustic set, or an amateur who needs to keep their practices quiet, you'll be amazed at what today's electronic cymbals can do for your performance. From Simmons and Yamaha to Roland, Zildjian and countless others, these brands are trusted around the world for the playability, durability and sound quality of their electronic cymbals.
