T550 12" Snare on Roland TD-11

Wiring, module settings, and tips for the T550 12" Snare when used with the Roland TD-11.

Yes — the T550 12" Snare works as a full snare on the Roland TD-11: head + rim.

Head Rim

Wiring: 1× TRS → SNARE connector on the DB-25 cable snake

Dual-zone triggering: head (tip) and rim (ring) respond independently via the single TRS connection. The module's snare input reads both piezo (head) and rim switch/piezo signals.

Cable routing

Connect a 1/4" TRS cable from the snare pad to the SNARE connector on the DB-25 cable snake.

Module settings

In the DRUM KIT screen, press [MENU], scroll to the SYSTEM icon, and press [F3] (SYSTEM).
Use the cursor buttons to select "Pad Settings", press [F3] (ENTER), then press [F1] (TYPE).
Strike the snare to select its input, then set "Pad Type" to PD-105 or PD-85 to match your snare.
Press [F2] (BASIC) to fine-tune "Sensitivity" (1-32) and "Threshold" (0-31).

Tips

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