You started by Enabling the Roland TD-30 MIDI Preset on the MIDI In/E-drum Settings page in SD3?
Which Library and Preset are you using?
Do you wish to change the sound of Cymbal 5 to the one loaded on Cymbal 3? Or is it only the triggering that is wrong?
Do you have the TD-30 @ Factory Settings MIDI note wise?
The SD3 software does not split the incoming MIDI to several Instruments, so if two Cymbals are triggered, the most plausible cause is that your module is sending two notes. You can expand the MIDI Monitor Property Box or open the MIDI In/E-drum Settings page and watch the Analyzer to see which notes are received from the module when you hit the Cymbal pad.
Another thing to check is to see what exact notes your drum brain is sending. For Windows I’d suggest MIDI-OX which is a free MIDI monitor utility. On a Mac the program would be snoize. Run the program on your computer in standalone mode and that will tell you exactly is being sent to your computer.

Go to the edrum page and change the notes of the cymbals to the ones the module is sending. You could even swap the input of the trigger on the module. You can also change the midi out note on the module. The td30 manual should give you the default out notes as well. When I had the td30 I just recorded the each drum into my DAW and noted down the note numbers. I then just changed them. The td30 map in sd3 is a good start but doesn’t really use the aux trigger inputs how you may use them. You can save your own modified mapping in the edrum page.
It sounds like you are getting xtalk on the module between cymbals if hitting one is triggering others as well. Check the xtalk settings on the td30 where you can see what other pads are triggering. Then adjust to remove. It’s better to sort any triggering issues in the module first.

why don’t you simply use the midi learn function? Just mark the cymbal you want to edit, clean all midi notes that are already existing and hit the “learn” button and hit the pad where you want the sound. Do this for every articulation of your pads. After you are done, save this midimapping for further drumsets. Maybe this helps for your false triggering problem as well 🤷♂️

Midi learn is ok but with cymbals trying to hit just tip and edge separately can be a pain. Also the presets can have multiple note numbers. I leave the snare, ride and hi hat as per preset and clear the rest out and add manually. The result is a lot cleaner. It’s good to know all your note numbers as it makes life a lot simpler if you need to troubleshoot.
