Hi Pfozz I am new to this forum. I am in the process of building the 3 zone ride. I have the TD20 Roland brain. Could you please go into more detail about building the 3 zone ride for Roland. Are you able to get all three zones to choke? I am using a 180 degree half circle piece of sheet metal and spaced with foam tape for the choke mechanism, this is mounted to a cymbal. I have been having trouble getting all three zones to choke. I can get the bow and edge to choke but when I wire in the bell that is connected to a separate jack output it makes the bell and edge trigger the same sounds simultaneously since they are both on the sleeve and ring of the jacks and the those wires all need to connect to the choke making them a circuit. What I need to do is to get that bell to choke along with the bow and edge but have the bell not be connected to the other piezo transducers. Does this make sense? Its a bit hard to describe. Maybe a step by step of the Roland three zone would help me. Any advice on getting the entire cymbal to choke using my metal choke ring and keeping it three zone would be great. Thanks so much, Toddzilla
