T950 13"x5" Snare Drum on Roland TD-50

Wiring, module settings, and tips for the T950 13"x5" Snare Drum when used with the Roland TD-50.

Yes — the T950 13"x5" Snare Drum works as a full snare on the Roland TD-50: 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

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

Module settings

Press the [TRIGGER] button.
Press the PAGE [UP] button to access page 1 (TRIG BASIC).
Press the [F1] (BANK) button to open the TRIGGER BANK screen.
Select the SNARE (S) pad (strike it or use the cursor buttons).
Use the [-] [+] buttons or the dial to set the Trig Type to the model that most closely matches your connected pad (the full trigger-type list is in the module's Data List).
For finer control, press [F3] (SENS) and adjust Sensitivity (1.0-32.0) on the TRIGGER SENS screen.

Tips

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