It would actually be useful to know which 2 zone ride you have, but I am assuming a Yamaha one.  If so, you cannot use 9/10 - you need to use one of the "stereo" inputs 1 to 8.  The 9/10 input can only be used with two mono pads.

The Pintech pads use two piezos, not a piezo and rim switch, so need two mono inputs, like 9/10.  Sorry if this sounds confusing, but unfortunately it is!
