Yamaha 3 zone wiring diagram for a electronic snare drum

Hi, i am building a electric snare drum for a yamaha xtreme 3, and i need a wiring diagram so i can get 3 zones. thanks

  • Anonymous Mar 07, 2010

    HI,



    I AM USING A YAMAHA DTXTREME SOUND MODULE, AND CURRENTLY USING THE STANDARD RUBBER PADS THAT CAME WITH THE KIT.



    I AM BUILDING A KIT THAT RESEMBLES AN ACOUSTIC DRUM KIT BUT INSTEAD OF STANDARD DRUM HEADS USING MESH HEADS AND PIEZO SENSORS TO TRIGGER THE SOUNDS FROM THE SOUND MODULE.



    FROM THE SNARE DRUM I WANT IT TO FUNCTION THE SAME AS THE STANDARD YAMAHA PAD THAT I'M USING WITH THREE ZONES (CENTRE SNARE SOUND, RIM SHOT AND CROSS STICK) - WITH THE CURRENT RESEARCH I HAVE DONE, I THINK I MAY NEED TO WIRE IN A KEITH RAPER CIRCUIT (KRC), HOWEVER, I NEED A WIRING DIAGRAM WHICH SHOWS EXACTLY HOW TO ACHIEVE THE THREE SEPARATE ZONES USING ONE STEREO CABLE JACK.



    THANKS -

I am going to buy an electronic keyboard for my kids, maybe with a drum set etc too. Are there any makes that people can recommend that I look for?

I always buy Yamaha or Casio when it comes to electronic keyboards for kids. I think their products are well made but also are more affordable than some of the more professionally aimed products.

Is the 9ch snake cable correctly connected? TOM 3 should be plugged into the 4th input and TOM 1 should be plugged into the 2nd input. (1- SNARE, 2 -TOM, 3 -TOM, 4-TOM, 5-RIDE, 6-CRASH.........)

When I hit the snare drum harder than usual, it is making a different sound. Is that supposed to be?

I believe I have found a good part of the solution to this problem. I also had this problem in the snare. The problem was so severe that, when pulled, the snare support, without giving him any beat, the sound appeared. I took courage and opened the snare.Ao open, I realized that a yellow adhesive used to glue the trigger wire had melted and the other touching the trigger. I think this must have happened at some point prior to my purchase that equipment has been under excessive heat and then drained to such a glue. Simply cut the little wire glue "connected" two triggers, and closed the snare ....... ready: is working perfectly.

You can not play these drums live the spill of the fold back drum fill bin sets of the snare trigger ive turned down the sens on the red box still doesnt work a big waste of money i need to talk to...

With this kit being acoustic-electric, the only advice I can give is to disconnect your snare trigger and mic the snare. It's either that, or your snare trigger is faulty. A new trigger is going to cost about the same as mics, but mics won't hit your snare, making you sound inexperienced. For miking the snare, you'll want to get two mics, placed on the top and bottom head. Try to position them on the same spot on the rim to avoid voicing problems. Studio drummers do the same thing when recording.

For playing this way live, you'll want to use either the main PA, or run to a separate mixer so you can control the volume of the snare in relation to the rest of the kit.

Hope that helps!

Electronic snare drum pad picking up tom tom triger signal ?

your right old and new technologies are all the same basic concept, a Piezoelectric transducer converts mechanical energy into an electrical pulse. Adjust/increase the cross talk (x-talk) setting on the module for your specific channel. this settings job is to disregard really small signals (ie. vibrations from the stand, other drums etc...), you may have to play the pad a little bit harder but it should work fine.
