20" Triple-Zone Crash/Ride on Donner Beat Max

Wiring, module settings, and tips for the 20" Triple-Zone Crash/Ride when used with the Donner Beat Max.

Yes — the 20" Triple-Zone Crash/Ride works as a full 2-zone crash on the Donner Beat Max: bow + edge.

Bow Edge

Wiring: Via the stand's built-in snake — the Beat Max has no per-pad 1/4" trigger jacks, and the manual documents no pad-end connector

Both crash inputs are dual-zone — bow and edge register as separate sounds.

The Donner Beat Max module has no individual 1/4" pad-trigger jacks. Every pad connects through the drum stand's built-in snake, which terminates in a single multi-pin "Module data base socket" on the module.
The manual documents no connection point for a standard 1/4" pad: panel item 10 is a "Module data base socket" that carries "signals/lights and other data from the drum pad", is built into the stand, and takes the module itself — not a pad. Check how your kit's own pads terminate at the stand before ordering.

From the main interface, tap EDITOR.
With CHASE ON (default), strike the crash to select it — or turn CHASE OFF and pick it from the drum drop-down.
Set Model to D_CY10 (10"), D_CY12ST (12" standard), or the size that matches your cymbal.
Adjust Pad Sensitivity (bow zone), Rim Sensitivity (edge zone), Threshold, and XTalk.

Crash MIDI notes — Crash 1: Bow = 27, Edge/Crash = 49; Crash 2: Bow = 31, Edge/Crash = 57.
