18″ Triple-Zone Crash/Ride
- LARGE 18” 3-ZONE CRASH/RIDE FOR BIG FEEL: The Lemon 18” triple-zone cymbal (Model LE-18C3) offers an expansive edge, bow, and bell layout for players who prefer a larger ride surface. Use the bow for wide, washy ride patterns, the edge for big crash hits, and the bell for strong, cutting accents, with edge choke for instant sound cutoff.
- SWITCHABLE 2-ZONE OR 3-ZONE USE: Run LE-18C3 as a 2-zone crash by using a single 1/4" TRS cable into a dual-zone cymbal input (bow + edge + choke). For full 3-zone ride operation with separate bell triggering, connect two TRS cables to module inputs that are compatible with 3-zone rides, giving you independent bow, edge, and bell control.
- EXPANSIVE PLAYING AREA WITH RUBBER SURFACE: The 18" diameter provides a generous playing field similar to large acoustic rides. The rubber playing surface offers natural rebound and consistent triggering across the cymbal, while the textured finish minimizes the flat, synthetic feel of basic pads.
- 3-ZONE TRS COMPATIBILITY, TWO-CABLE SETUP: Designed for drum modules that support triple-zone ride triggering (bow/edge plus bell) using two 1/4” TRS cables with common e-drum ride wiring. Fits standard electronic cymbal stands; for best stability and consistent triggering, use proper felts/sleeve and a rotation stopper on 9 mm posts to keep position during harder playing.
- MODEL LE-18C3 – BIG RIDE EXPERIENCE ON E-KITS: LE-18C3 is intended for drummers who want a large ride presence and wide playing area on their electronic kits. Suitable as a main ride for rock, fusion, and worship setups where a bigger cymbal surface and clear bell are preferred.
Description
The Lemon 18"" Triple-Zone Electronic Cymbal (Model LE-18C3) is built for drummers who want the feel and presence of a larger ride on their electronic kit. With three trigger zones—edge, bow, and bell—it can serve as a full-featured main ride with bell or a very expressive crash/ride. The bow area handles flowing ride patterns, the edge is tuned for strong crash accents, and the bell gives you focused, articulate hits that cut through dense arrangements.
LE-18C3 works with both 2-zone and 3-zone configurations. For modules that only offer dual-zone cymbal inputs, a single 1/4"" TRS cable allows it to operate as a bow/edge crash with choke. For modules that accept 3-zone rides, using two TRS cables into the appropriate inputs unlocks separate bell triggering so you can assign independent bow, edge, and bell sounds. Integrated edge choke lets you stop the cymbal instantly by grabbing it, providing the same kind of sharp control used with acoustic rides and crashes.
The 18"" rubber playing surface gives you plenty of room for dynamic ride movement and edge crashes, with natural-feeling rebound and consistent triggering. A textured finish enhances grip and minimizes the sensation of playing on a flat rubber disc. LE-18C3 is designed around triple-zone ride behavior and integrates with many modules that are compatible with this configuration. Install it on a solid cymbal stand using the included rotation stopper, connect your cables, and fine-tune sensitivity, threshold, and scan parameters according to your module's specifications. For drummers who want a large, expressive ride surface with full bell capability on an electronic kit, LE-18C3 provides a substantial advancement over basic pad cymbals.
