T950 10"x5" High Tom on Alesis DM7X

Wiring, module settings, and tips for the T950 10"x5" High Tom when used with the Alesis DM7X.

Yes — the T950 10"x5" High Tom works as a full tom on the Alesis DM7X: head + rim.

Head Rim

Wiring: 1× TRS per tom → Tom1, Tom2, Tom3 connectors on the cable snake

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

Connect a 1/4" TRS cable from each tom pad to the Tom1, Tom2, or Tom3 connector on the cable snake.

Hit the tom pad, or press its Pad Select button, so the module selects that input.
Press Utility, then press Page/Select until SEN (Pad sensitivity) appears, and set it with the < and > buttons.
Press Page/Select until THR (Pad threshold) appears, and set it with the < and > buttons.
Press Page/Select until R-S (Pad rim sensitivity) appears, and set the rim response with the < and > buttons.
Press Save to keep the settings — otherwise they return to defaults when you power the module off.

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