T950 13"x5" Snare Drum on Alesis DM10

Wiring, module settings, and tips for the T950 13"x5" Snare Drum when used with the Alesis DM10.

Yes — the T950 13"x5" Snare Drum works as a full snare on the Alesis DM10: head + rim.

Head Rim

Wiring: 1× TRS → SNARE input on the rear panel (individual 1/4" TRS jack)

The DM10 has 12 individual 1/4" TRS jacks on the rear panel — no cable snake. The SNARE input supports dual-zone (head + rim) triggering via the center piezo and the rim piezo.

Cable routing

Connect a 1/4" TRS cable from the snare pad to the SNARE input on the rear panel.

Module settings

Press EXT TRIG to enter the Ext. Trig Menu, then press NOTE CHASE and strike the snare to select its input.
On the INP page, set Sensitvty (00-99) so your hardest snare hit drives the level meter close to maximum without clipping.
Set the InputType to PIEZO — p.24 reserves SWITCH for "a drum pad with a rim switch", and a Lemon snare/tom rim is a second piezo, not a switch.
Press TRIG (F2) and set Threshold (00-99) on that page — at lower settings very light strikes produce a sound, at higher settings the pad must be struck harder.
Press STORE, then YES (F1), to keep the settings — Ext. Trig changes return to their defaults when you power the module off.

Tips

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