Splitter Cable for Electronic Drums – Tom Rim to Cymbal Expansion

Expand Your Kit. Maximize Every Input. Smarter Connectivity

This splitter cable is the perfect solution for drummers looking to get more out of their electronic drum module. Designed to split a single stereo TRS input into two mono TS outputs, it allows you to convert one pad input into two separate triggers — ideal for using a tom pad’s rim input to connect an additional cymbal or pad.

Function and Use

The splitter cable takes a stereo signal from one TRS jack and separates it into two mono channels. This enables you to assign the head and rim of a dual-zone input as independent triggers. Common use includes connecting a tom pad as one zone and using the rim input to trigger an additional cymbal or percussion pad

Practical Expansion

Perfect for electronic drum kits with limited module inputs. Instead of using a new module port, you can split an existing one to add another cymbal, splash, or auxiliary trigger — great for efficient setup expansion without upgrading hardware

Compatibility

Works with most major drum modules that support dual-zone pad splitting, including brands like Roland, Alesis, 2Box, Pearl Mimic Pro, Medeli, and more. Make sure your module allows for independent assignment of head and rim zones for full functionality

Build and Design

Made with durable shielding and reinforced connectors, this splitter ensures clear signal separation with minimal interference. Designed for stage and studio use, it’s compact, reliable, and plug-and-play friendly
