 REGISTRATION 

 

Please go to http://www.alesis.com to register your Surge Cymbals.  Registering your product ensures that we can keep you 
up-to-date with any last-minute product developments and provide you with world-class technical support, should you run into 
any problems. 

 

 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.
