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

Setup — T950 13"x5" Snare Drum on Alesis Surge

Works

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

Head Rim

Wiring: Snare connector on the cable snake → snare pad

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

Module settings

  1. Hit the snare pad, or press its Snare Pad Select button, to select it.
  2. Press Utility, then press Page/Select until SEN (Pad sensitivity) appears; use the < and > buttons to set it.
  3. Press Page/Select to THR (Pad threshold) and set it with < / >.
  4. Press Page/Select to R-S (Pad rim sensitivity) to set the rim (rimshot) response.
  5. Press Page/Select to CUR (Pad velocity curve) to pick the dynamic response.
  6. Press Save to keep the settings (otherwise they reset at power-off).

Tips

  1. Head triggers from the center piezo, rim from a second piezo mounted under the head.
  2. On an input that reads head and rim, if the wrong zone plays, tune the module's head/rim settings for this pad's size; values set for a different-size pad may not carry over.
