CYMBAL SETUP & OPERATION
Electronic cymbals produce no sound themselves and require the use of external sound modules in order to be used as
musical instruments. Surge Cymbals are compatible with a variety of drum modules and can also be used to trigger sounds on
any MIDI instrument using a "Trigger to MIDI" interface.
HI-HAT CYMBAL
1. Insert the "right-angle" end of the ¼" mono cable (included) into the trigger housing on the underside of the cymbal.
2. Place the cymbal onto a cymbal stand.
3. Connect the other end of the cable to your drum module.
See the CONNECTION DIAGRAM for a suggested setup configuration.
Though a conventional hi-hat setup consists of two cymbals, you need only one Surge Hi-Hat Cymbal to create the same
sounds. The opening and closing action of conventional hi-hat cymbals will be emulated by the module and controlled by the
pedal. (Because of this, you may also use a regular cymbal stand to mount the hi-hat instead of a conventional hi-hat stand
with a clutch, pedal, etc.)
CRASH CYMBAL
1. Insert the "right-angle" end of the ¼" mono cable (included) into the trigger housing on the underside of the cymbal.
2. Place the cymbal onto a cymbal stand.
3. Connect the other end of the cable to your drum module.
See the CONNECTION DIAGRAM for a suggested setup configuration.
RIDE CYMBAL
1. Insert the two "right-angle" ends of the Y-cable (included) into the two connections in the trigger housing on the underside of
the cymbal.
2. Place the cymbal onto a cymbal stand. Do not use a cymbal sleeve with this cymbal since it already has a built-in sleeve.
3. Connect the other ends of the cables to your drum module.
See the CONNECTION DIAGRAM for a suggested setup configuration.
The Surge Ride Cymbal is a dual-zone cymbal. You can strike it on the "bow" of the cymbal or on the bell of the cymbal to
produce two different sounds. You may need to adjust the Crosstalk settings of your sound or trigger module to prevent
accidental triggering of sounds on either zone.
