13" Triple-Zone Crash/Ride on Donner DED-500P

Wiring, module settings, and tips for the 13" Triple-Zone Crash/Ride when used with the Donner DED-500P.

Setup — 13" Triple-Zone Crash/Ride on Donner DED-500P

Reduced — 2-zone ride

The 13" Triple-Zone Crash/Ride works on your Donner DED-500P with reduced zones.

Bell Bow Edge

Wiring: 1× TRS (Cable 2) → Ride input (1/4" TRS jack) — bow + bell

Full 3-zone is not supported — this module has a single Ride input. Connect Cable 2 (bow + bell) from the Lemon 3-zone ride cymbal; bow and bell zones both work through this cable.

Cable routing

  1. Connect Cable 2 (the bow + bell cable) from the Lemon 3-zone ride cymbal to the Ride input.

Module settings

  1. Go to MENU > SENSITIVITY and select the Ride pad.
  2. The DED-500P has a single Ride input and does not expose a 3-zone ride pad type — the input reads Cable 2 as a dual-zone cymbal.
  3. Adjust PS, RS, THRESH, XTALK, RETRIG, and VOLUME so bow and bell hits register cleanly.
  4. In your kit, load a ride-bow sample on the bow zone and a ride-bell sample on the second zone — bow and bell hits will play through Cable 2 as expected.

Tips

  1. Cable 2 delivers bow and bell — the two most-used zones for ride playing.
  2. Full simultaneous 3-zone operation is not available on this module — only one cable can be connected at a time.
