18" Triple-Zone Crash/Ride on Simmons SD1250

Wiring, module settings, and tips for the 18" Triple-Zone Crash/Ride when used with the Simmons SD1250.

Setup — 18" Triple-Zone Crash/Ride on Simmons SD1250

Reduced — 2-zone ride

The 18" Triple-Zone Crash/Ride works on your Simmons SD1250 with reduced zones.

Bell Bow Edge

Wiring: 1× TRS (Cable 2) → RIDE connector on the DB-25 cable harness — bow + bell

Full 3-zone is not supported — this module has a single Ride input. Connect Cable 2 (bow + bell) from the Lemon 3-zone ride cymbal; bow and bell zones both work through this cable.

Cable routing

  1. Connect Cable 2 (the bow + bell cable) from the Lemon 3-zone ride cymbal to the Ride input.

Module settings

  1. Go to MENU > TRIGGER SET and select the Ride pad.
  2. Set the pad type to a 2-zone cymbal — the SD1250 has one Ride input and does not expose a 3-zone ride pad type.
  3. Adjust Sensitivity (1–32), Threshold, Crosstalk, Retrigger, and Curve (1–4) until bow and bell strikes register cleanly.
  4. In your kit, load a ride-bow sample on the bow zone and a ride-bell sample on the second zone — bow and bell hits will play through Cable 2 as expected.

Tips

  1. Cable 2 delivers bow and bell — the two most-used zones for ride playing.
  2. Full simultaneous 3-zone operation is not available on this module — only one cable can be connected at a time.
