T950 13"x5" Snare Drum on Roland TD-30

Wiring, module settings, and tips for the T950 13"x5" Snare Drum when used with the Roland TD-30.

Setup — T950 13"x5" Snare Drum on Roland TD-30

Works

Yes — the T950 13"x5" Snare Drum works as a full snare on the Roland TD-30: head + rim.

Head Rim

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

Dual-zone triggering: head (tip) and rim (ring) respond independently via the single TRS connection. The module's snare input reads both piezo (head) and rim switch/piezo signals.

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 the [TRIGGER] button.
  2. Press the [F1] (BANK) button to open the TRIGGER BANK screen.
  3. Select the SNARE input (strike the pad or use the TRIG SELECT buttons).
  4. Use the [-] [+] buttons or the dial to set the trigger type to PD-128S (or PD-128).
  5. For finer control, press [F2] (SENS) and adjust Sensitivity on the TRIGGER SENSITIVITY screen.

Tips

  1. Head triggers from the center piezo, rim triggers from the rim switch.
  2. Both zones respond independently on the TRS connection (tip = head, ring = rim).
