T950 20"x12" Kick Drum on Donner Beat Max

Wiring, module settings, and tips for the T950 20"x12" Kick Drum when used with the Donner Beat Max.

Setup — T950 20"x12" Kick Drum on Donner Beat Max

Works

Yes — the T950 20"x12" Kick Drum works as a full kick on the Donner Beat Max: single zone.

Trigger

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

Single-zone kick trigger. Only the head zone is active.

Cable routing

  1. 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.
  2. 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.

Module settings

  1. From the main interface, tap EDITOR.
  2. With CHASE ON (default), strike the kick to select it — or turn CHASE OFF and pick it from the drum drop-down.
  3. Set Model to D_KD6 or D_KD8 to match your kick drum size.
  4. Adjust Pad Sensitivity and Threshold for your pedal strike force.

Tips

  1. A TS cable is sufficient — the kick input is single-zone; the ring is unused.
  2. Kick maps to MIDI note 36.
