T950 13"x5" Snare Drum on Roland TD-4

Wiring, module settings, and tips for the T950 13"x5" Snare Drum when used with the Roland TD-4.

Yes — the T950 13"x5" Snare Drum works as a full snare on the Roland TD-4: head + rim.

Head Rim

Wiring: 1× TRS → SNR connector on the trigger input cable

Dual-zone snare triggering: head (tip) and rim (ring) respond independently via the single TRS connection. The TD-4 reads both head piezo and rim switch/piezo signals on the SNR input.

Cable routing

Connect a 1/4" TRS cable from the snare pad to the SNR connector on the trigger input cable.

Module settings

Press [MENU], choose "8 PAD SETTINGS" with the SEL buttons, and press [OK].
Strike the snare to select its input (or turn the [-/+] dial at the MENU screen to pick it).
Use the SEL buttons to select "Pad Type", then set it with the [-/+] dial to PD-105, PD-85, or PDX-8 to match your snare.
If soft or hard hits don't register cleanly, adjust "Sensitivity" (1-32) in PAD SETTINGS, and "Threshold" under Advanced Edit.

Tips

Head triggers from the center piezo, rim triggers from the rim switch.
Both zones respond independently on the TRS connection (tip = head, ring = rim).
Set Head/Rim Link to OFF in the OPTIONS menu if you want to edit head and rim parameters independently.
