T550 8" High Tom on Alesis Command

Wiring, module settings, and tips for the T550 8" High Tom when used with the Alesis Command.

Setup — T550 8" High Tom on Alesis Command

Works

Yes — the T550 8" High Tom works as a full tom on the Alesis Command: head + rim.

Head Rim

Wiring: Tom1, Tom2, Tom3 connectors on the cable snake → one per tom pad

The tom connectors on the cable snake support dual-zone (head + rim) triggering via the center piezo and the rim piezo.

Cable routing

  1. Plug the Tom1, Tom2, or Tom3 connector on the cable snake into each tom pad.

Module settings

  1. Go to Kit > Menu > Trigger. Select the Tom input.
  2. Adjust Sensitivity, Threshold, Curve, and Rim Sens.
  3. Leave Head-Rim Adj low — it reduces crosstalk between head and rim rather than balancing them, and a high value can silence a deliberate head-and-rim hit.
  4. Press Save to keep the changes — otherwise they are lost when you power off the drum module.

Tips

  1. Head triggers from the center piezo, rim from a second piezo mounted under the head.
  2. On an input that reads head and rim, if the wrong zone plays, tune the module's head/rim settings for this pad's size; values set for a different-size pad may not carry over.
T550 8" High Tom also fits 76 other drum modules — see setup
