T950 13"x5" Snare Drum on Yamaha DTX400K

Wiring, module settings, and tips for the T950 13"x5" Snare Drum when used with the Yamaha DTX400K.

Yes — the T950 13"x5" Snare Drum works on the Yamaha DTX400K as a 1-zone snare: head only.

Head Rim

Wiring: 1× TRS → SNARE connector on the DB-25 cable snake

The snare input on the cable snake supports dual-zone (head + rim) triggering via center piezo and rim switch.

Connect a 1/4" TRS cable from the snare pad to the SNARE connector on the DB-25 cable snake.

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 snare to select it, then set the gain (1-127) with the number buttons so light hits register.
Press number button [6] for the Minimum Level parameter, strike the snare, then set the minimum level (0-99 %) so soft hits below your threshold are ignored.
Press number button [3] for the Snare Pad Type parameter and choose the type that best matches the connected pad; leave [1] (automatic identification) if unsure.

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