Post #8 of the thread linked below shows one opened up. Potentially, with a 2nd Jack and some re-wiring, one could turn the strike crashes into 3 zone rides, not that the strike can have a 2nd 3zone ride. Lol. Presumably, the guy was able to put the cymbal back together and have it working.https://www.vdrums.com/forum/advanced/diy/1188888-a-different-14-vh-11-maybe

The issue is with the Strike module. The Strike module uses a dual cable input set-up for three zone cymbals. If you plug an Alesis Strike crash cymbal into a Simmons SD2000's ride input (which is a single cable three zone input) they work as a three zone cymbal. There are a couple of medeli modules that do single cable three zone as well and the Strike crashes should work on those as well. Unfortunately, they are not Yamaha compatible. I'm guessing Alesis did this because they wanted to use the Strike crash cymbals as ride cymbals with some of the lesser kits. (since they use single cable three zone cymbals).
