T950 13"x5" Snare Drum on Alesis DM7X

Wiring, module settings, and tips for the T950 13"x5" Snare Drum when used with the Alesis DM7X.

Yes — the T950 13"x5" Snare Drum works as a full snare on the Alesis DM7X: head + rim.

Head Rim

Wiring: 1× TRS → Snare connector on the cable snake

The Snare connector on the cable snake supports dual-zone (head + rim) triggering via the center piezo and the rim piezo.

Connect a 1/4" TRS cable from the snare pad to the Snare connector on the cable snake.

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