Hi All, long time reader first time poster ;-)
Having fallen head-first down the old ebay rabbit hole recently, I've been cobbling together a kit which currently consists of original DM10 module (not a MKII) together with the frame, drums and cymbals of a salvaged Strike Pro kit sold without the module as "spares or repair".
Having stripped down all the drums and repaired the plates/piezo's/wiring, and determined that two of the three crash cymbals are basically scrap as the plastic was completely shattered across the edge area (I think the previous owner must have been playing with scaffolding poles instead of sticks), I'm now stumped by the ride.
I've had it stripped down and verified that all internals are in one piece and work individually. I get continuity on the bell and edge switches when pressed, and a good response from the piezo.
If I plug Ride 1 into Socket A and Ride 2 into Socket B with bell set to Switch, I get bow and edge triggering together with choke, but zero bell response regardless of impact force or any combination of xtalk settings.
If I swap the cables over and change nothing else, I get bow as normal, a clear bell on the edge switch, and edge/choke function on the bell switch
I've used the cables that came with the module (fully seated) and also two new TRS cables with the same results.
So apparently the ride itself functions on all three triggers, however for some reason not with the cables in the "correct" holes. I've seen other posts suggesting that these two items should be compatible, so I'm a bit stuck.
During testing I also plugged the TRS cables into a dual zone pad to check what actually triggers down the cable directly:
Ride 1 - Head (Nothing) Rim (Bell)
Ride 2 - Head (Bow) Rim (Edge)
A photo of the ride circuit is attached. Everything I can see so far leads me to believe that this should work. It doesn't. My head now hurts....
Edit: Please don't worry about the nasty looking soldering of the edge contact, I had to replace the FPC connector on the PCB as it had sheared off. It looks scrappy but it is solid and functional.
