T950 13"x5" Snare Drum on Roland TD-6

Wiring, module settings, and tips for the T950 13"x5" Snare Drum when used with the Roland TD-6.

Yes — the T950 13"x5" Snare Drum works as a full snare on the Roland TD-6: head + rim.

Head Rim

Wiring: 1× TRS → SNARE input (TRIGGER INPUT 2) on the rear panel

Dual-zone snare triggering: head (tip) and rim (ring) respond independently via the single TRS connection on the SNARE input.

Connect a 1/4" TRS cable from the snare pad to the SNARE input (TRIGGER INPUT 2) on the rear panel.

Hold [SHIFT] and press [EDIT (SETUP)] to enter setup mode, then select TRIG BASIC.
Strike the snare so the display shows the SNR input.
Set the Trigger Type to PD80R or PD120 (the settings for PD-80R / PD-120 mesh dual-zone pads) — these are the trigger types optimized for separate head + rim sensing on the SNARE input.

Head triggers from the center piezo, rim from a second piezo on the ring.
Both zones respond independently on the TRS connection (tip = head, ring = rim).
The SNARE input is the only TD-6 input that fully supports the mesh-style rim signal used by PD-80R / PD-120 pads.

T950 13"x5" Snare Drum also fits 74 other drum modules — see setup
