T950 13"x13" Floor Tom on Yamaha DTX400K

Wiring, module settings, and tips for the T950 13"x13" Floor Tom when used with the Yamaha DTX400K.

Yes — the T950 13"x13" Floor Tom works on the Yamaha DTX400K as a 1-zone tom: head only.

Head Rim

Wiring: 1× lead per tom on the nine-channel snake → TOM1 / TOM2 / TOM3 trigger inputs (3.5 mm mini mono at the module end)

This module's tom inputs read the head zone only for a Lemon pad.

Unplug the stock Yamaha pad from the nine-channel snake and plug that same lead into the Lemon pad — the snake's pad-end plugs are standard 1/4" (p.18). This is the connection Yamaha itself documents for swapping a pad (p.56).
Going direct to the module instead needs a 3.5 mm-to-1/4" adapter — mono for the TOM1-TOM3 jacks, per the specifications (p.64).

Hold the [KIT] button and press the [SONG] button to enter Menu Mode.
Press number button [5] to select the Trigger Settings group.
Press number button [5] for the Gain parameter, strike the tom to select it, then set the gain (1-127) with the number buttons.
Press number button [6] for the Minimum Level parameter, strike the tom, then set the minimum level (0-99 %).
If a tom double-triggers or picks up neighbouring pads, press number button [2] for the Crosstalk parameter, strike the tom, and raise its value (0-99).

Only the head (center piezo) triggers — this module doesn't read the pad's rim piezo.
