20" Triple-Zone Crash/Ride on Simmons SD1500

Wiring, module settings, and tips for the 20" Triple-Zone Crash/Ride when used with the Simmons SD1500.

Yes — the 20" Triple-Zone Crash/Ride works as a full 2-zone crash on the Simmons SD1500: bow + edge.

Bow Edge

Wiring: 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.

Connect the cymbal to the CRASH1 lead on the module's multi-pin pad harness using a standard 1/4" TRS cable, or to the discrete CRASH2 1/4" TRS jack on the module's side panel.
The SD1500's main pads all route through the supplied pad harness (multi-pin connector into the Multi-Pin Connection Jack on the bottom); only the side-panel TOM4 and CRASH2 inputs are individual 1/4" TRS jacks.

Press [UTILITY], then [MENU] to open Trigger Setup.
Select the Crash input (strike the pad or use its Pad Select button).
Step with [PAGE -/+] and adjust Sensitive, Thresh, Curve, Retrig-C, X-Talk, Splash-S.
