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

The 15" Dual-Zone China is fully supported on your Roland TD-27.

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 [SETUP] > Pad Settings > Trig Type.
Navigate to the CRASH1, CRASH2, or AUX input.
Set the trigger type to CY-12C or CY-14C depending on your cymbal size.

Tips
