15" Dual-Zone China on Roland TD-9

Wiring, module settings, and tips for the 15" Dual-Zone China when used with the Roland TD-9.

Setup — 15" Dual-Zone China on Roland TD-9

Works

Yes — the 15" Dual-Zone China works as a full 2-zone crash on the Roland TD-9: bow + edge.

Bow Edge

Wiring: 1× TRS → CRASH1 connector on the DB-25 cable snake

Dual-zone crash triggering: bow (tip) and edge (ring) respond independently via the single TRS connection. Choke works by grabbing the cymbal edge. The TD-09 supports Roland CY-series 2-zone cymbals.

Cable routing

  1. Connect a ¼″ TRS cable from the cymbal to the CRASH1 connector on the DB-25 cable snake.

Module settings

  1. Press [SETUP], then [F1] (TRIG), then [F1] (TYPE).
  2. Hit the cymbal to select the CRASH1 input (or use the CURSOR buttons).
  3. Set "Trig Type" to CY8 or CY5 with [+/-] to match your cymbal.
  4. Press [F2] (BASIC) to fine-tune "Sensitivity" (1-32) and "Threshold" (0-31).

Tips

  1. Bow and edge zones respond independently.
  2. Choke works by grabbing the cymbal edge.
15" Dual-Zone China also fits 73 other drum modules — see setup
