T550 8" High Tom on Pearl Mimic Pro

Wiring, module settings, and tips for the T550 8" High Tom when used with the Pearl Mimic Pro.

Yes — the T550 8" High Tom works as a full tom on the Pearl Mimic Pro: head + rim.

Head Rim

Wiring: 1× TRS per tom → TOM1, TOM2, TOM3 inputs (1/4" TRS jacks)

The tom inputs support dual-zone (head + rim) triggering via center piezo and rim switch.

Connect a 1/4" TRS cable from each tom pad to the TOM1, TOM2, or TOM3 input on the rear panel.

Set the tom inputs' trigger gain and threshold from the Pearl Mimic Pro's own trigger menu — see the Pearl Mimic Pro manual for the exact menu path and parameter names.

Head triggers from the center piezo, rim triggers from the rim switch.
Both zones respond independently on the TRS connection (tip = head, ring = rim).

T550 8" High Tom also fits 73 other drum modules — see setup
