Setup details by role
Snare pad 2-zone 1× TRS → SNARE lead on the multi-pin pad harness
The snare input supports dual-zone (head + rim) triggering via center piezo and rim switch.
Tom pad 2-zone 1× TRS per tom → TOM1/TOM2/TOM3 leads on the multi-pin pad harness (TOM4 is a discrete side-panel jack)
The tom inputs support dual-zone (head + rim) triggering via center piezo and rim switch.
Kick pad Works 1× TS or TRS → KICK lead on the multi-pin pad harness
Single-zone kick trigger. Only the head zone is active.
2-zone crash 2-zone 1× TRS → CRASH1 lead on the pad harness, or the discrete CRASH2 side-panel jack
Dual-zone cymbal triggering supported on Crash1 and Crash2 inputs.
3-zone ride 2-zone 1× TRS: Ride 1 (bow/edge) → RIDE lead on the multi-pin pad harness
Plug the Lemon ride's Ride 1 cable into the Ride input for bow + edge — no cymbal modification. The SD1500 has a single ride input, so you get two of the ride's three zones.
Hi-hat Open/Closed 1× TRS pad → HI-HAT lead + 1× pedal → Hi-Hat Control lead (both on the multi-pin pad harness)
The Lemon hi-hat pad connects to the HI-HAT lead and the pedal controller to the Hi-Hat Control lead on the pad harness, delivering reliable open and closed hi-hat.
