18" Triple-Zone Crash/Ride on Roland TD-15

Wiring, module settings, and tips for the 18" Triple-Zone Crash/Ride when used with the Roland TD-15.

Yes — the 18" Triple-Zone Crash/Ride works as a full 2-zone crash on the Roland TD-15: bow + edge.

Bow Edge

Wiring: 1× TRS → CRASH1 connector on the DB-25 cable snake, or the TRIGGER IN CRASH2 / AUX jack on the side panel

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-15 supports Roland CY-series 2-zone cymbals.

Cable routing

Connect a ¼″ TRS cable from the cymbal to the CRASH1 connector on the DB-25 cable snake.
For additional cymbals, use the TRIGGER IN CRASH2 or AUX jack on the side panel (p. 8) — stereo 1/4-inch phone type, two of them on the TD-15 (p. 50).

Module settings

In the DRUM KIT screen, press [MENU], scroll to the SYSTEM icon, press [F3] (SYSTEM), select "Pad Settings", then press [F3] (ENTER).
Press [F1] (TYPE), then strike the cymbal to select its input.
Turn the value dial to set Pad Type to CY-12C or CY-14C.
Press [F2] (BASIC) and set Sensitivity and Threshold for the cymbal.

Tips

Bow and edge zones respond independently.
Choke works by grabbing the cymbal edge.
CRASH2 and AUX are direct jacks on the rear panel, not part of the cable snake.
