T950 13"x13" Floor Tom on Alesis DM10 MKII

Wiring, module settings, and tips for the T950 13"x13" Floor Tom when used with the Alesis DM10 MKII.

Setup — T950 13"x13" Floor Tom on Alesis DM10 MKII

Works

Yes — the T950 13"x13" Floor Tom works as a full tom on the Alesis DM10 MKII: head + rim.

Head Rim

Wiring: 1× TRS per tom → TOM1, TOM2, TOM3 connectors on the DB-25 cable snake

The tom inputs on the cable snake support dual-zone (head + rim) triggering via the center piezo and the rim piezo.

Cable routing

  1. Connect a 1/4" TRS cable from each tom pad to the TOM1, TOM2, or TOM3 connector on the DB-25 cable snake.
  2. A fourth tom goes on the rear-panel Tom 4 Trigger Input (¼″ TRS) — it reads head and rim like the snake toms.

Module settings

  1. Press Trigger to enter the trigger interface page, then hit the Tom pad to select it.
  2. Adjust Head Sensitivity, Rim Sens, and Threshold to taste.
  3. Leave Head-Rim Adj low — it reduces crosstalk between head and rim rather than balancing them, and a high value can silence a deliberate head-and-rim hit.
  4. Press F3-Save to keep the settings — otherwise they are lost when you power off the module.

Tips

  1. Head triggers from the center piezo, rim from a second piezo on the ring.
  2. Both zones respond independently on the TRS connection (tip = head, ring = rim).
