T950 13"x5" Snare Drum on Roland TD-20

Wiring, module settings, and tips for the T950 13"x5" Snare Drum when used with the Roland TD-20.

Setup — T950 13"x5" Snare Drum on Roland TD-20

Works

Yes — the T950 13"x5" Snare Drum works as a full snare on the Roland TD-20: head + rim.

Head Rim

Wiring: 1× TRS → SNARE input (1/4" TRS jack)

Dual-zone triggering: head (tip) and rim (ring) are read over the single TRS connection and play separate sounds.

Cable routing

  1. Connect a 1/4" TRS cable from the snare pad to the SNARE input on the rear panel.

Module settings

  1. Press [TRIGGER], then [F1 (BANK)] to open the TRIGGER BANK screen.
  2. Strike the snare to select the SNARE input (or use [TRIG SELECT]).
  3. Use [+/-] or the [VALUE] dial to set Trig Type to PD125 or PD105.
  4. Press [F2 (BASIC)] and set Sensitivity and Threshold for the snare.

Tips

  1. Head triggers from the center piezo, rim from a second piezo mounted under the head.
  2. Both zones share the one TRS connection (tip = head, ring = rim).
  3. On an input that reads head and rim, if the wrong zone plays, tune the module's head/rim settings for this pad's size; values set for a different-size pad may not carry over.
