Alesis 102150225-A - 12" Dual-Zone Cymbal Pad for the DM10MKIISTUDIO / CRIMSONIIKIT

Alesis 102150225-A – 12” Dual Zone Cymbal Pad for DM10 MKII Studio / Crimson II

The Alesis 102150225-A is the 12-inch dual-zone (body/edge) cymbal pad used with the DM10 MKII Studio and Crimson II kits. It provides a solid, quiet feel thanks to its rubberized surface and transmits two zones via a 1/4" TRS connector to assign differentiated articulations (e.g., bow/edge) depending on the module. It is the official recommended replacement part to restore the 12" crashes of these models or to expand the set with an additional cymbal while maintaining mechanical and electrical compatibility with the Alesis system.

Main features

• 12” (25.4 cm) Dual Zone : independent detection on bow (body) and edge (edge) via 1/4” TRS .
• Rubber surface with a balance between natural feel and low noise level.
• Native support for Crimson II / Crimson II SE (12” crashes with choke function in the kit) and DM10 MKII Studio (12” crashes).
• Standard mount on Alesis cymbal arm with tilter and rack nut/felts.
• Approved replacement to maintain sensitivity, dynamics and factory output level.

Product benefits

• Enhanced expressiveness : Two zones for programming accents/edge attacks and body beats.
• Simple service and maintenance : direct replacement without complex reconfigurations.
• Uniformity : Being an official piece, it matches the feel and response of the rest of the cymbals in the kit.

Compatibility and notes

• Confirmed kits: DM10 MKII Studio and Crimson II / Crimson II SE (explicit listing of the spare part in their parts catalogs).
• Module Connection: 1/4" TRS (dual zones). Crimson/DM10 MKII modules accept dual-zone pads on their cymbal inputs; choke available on Crimson II crashes.
• Typical use: 12" crash (main or additional). Can be reassigned as a secondary cymbal depending on the module.
• Spare part contents: 1 × 12” cymbal pad. Does not include arm, clamp , felts or cable.

Frequently Asked Questions

• Does it include a choke function? The Crimson II kit uses 12" crashes with chokes ; functionality depends on the module's input/assignment and proper wiring.
• Is it suitable for the hi-hat? This pad is primarily used as a crash pad ; the hi-hat requires its own dedicated pedal/controller.
• What cable do I need? A 1/4" TRS to transmit both zones (bow/edge) to a dual input on the module.
