15" Dual-Zone China on Roland TD-27

Wiring, module settings, and tips for the 15" Dual-Zone China when used with the Roland TD-27.

Yes — the 15" Dual-Zone China works as a full 2-zone crash on the Roland TD-27: bow + edge.

Bow Edge

Wiring: 1× TRS → CRASH1 connector on the DB-25 cable snake, or CRASH2 / AUX1 / AUX2 / AUX3 direct jack on the rear 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-27 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, connect to the CRASH2, AUX1, AUX2, or AUX3 input on the rear panel.

Module settings

Press [SYSTEM], select "TRIGGER" and press [ENTER], then select "BANK" and press [ENTER] to open the TRIGGER BANK screen.
Strike the cymbal (display shows "C1"/"C2") or use the cursor buttons to select the CRASH 1 or CRASH 2 input.
Use the dial to set the Trig Type to the model that matches your cymbal.
Back on the TRIGGER MENU, open "PARAM", select the cymbal, then set Sensitivity from the cursor + dial.

Tips

Bow and edge zones respond independently.
Choke works by grabbing the cymbal edge.
The 3 DIGITAL TRIGGER IN (USB) jacks are for Roland digital pads only.
