T550 10" Low Tom on Roland TD-02

Wiring, module settings, and tips for the T550 10" Low Tom when used with the Roland TD-02.

Yes — the T550 10" Low Tom works on the Roland TD-02 as a 1-zone tom: head only.

Head Rim

Wiring: 1× TRS per tom → TOM1, TOM2, TOM3 connectors on the DB-25 cable snake

The Roland TD-02 tom inputs are single-zone — only the head piezo is read. Rim hits on a dual-zone tom pad will not produce a separate sound.

Connect a 1/4" TRS cable from each tom pad to the TOM1, TOM2, or TOM3 connector on the DB-25 cable snake.

Press the [MENU] button, use the [▲] [▼] buttons to select "PAD", and press the [ENTER] button.
Strike the tom pad to select it (or hold [ENTER] and press the [▲] [▼] buttons).
Use the [▲] [▼] buttons to select "Type" and the [-] [+] buttons to set the tom PAD type to a mesh-pad value from the PAD Type list such as "PDX8".
Select "Sens" and "Threshold" and adjust each with the [-] [+] buttons if needed.
Press the [DRUM KIT] button to return to the DRUM KIT screen.

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