Wiring, module settings, and tips for the T550 12" Kick when used with the Roland TD-17.

Setup — T550 12" Kick on Roland TD-17

Works

Yes — the T550 12" Kick works as a full kick on the Roland TD-17: single zone.

Trigger

Wiring: 1× TS or TRS → KICK connector on the DB-25 cable snake

Single-zone kick trigger via the cable snake. Only the head zone is active.

Cable routing

  1. Connect a 1/4" TS or TRS cable from the kick pad to the KICK connector on the DB-25 cable snake.

Module settings

  1. Press [SETUP], turn the dial to select "Pad Settings", then press [ENTER].
  2. Press [F1] (TYPE), then strike the kick or select the KICK input.
  3. Turn the dial to set Pad Type to KD10.

Tips

  1. Single-zone operation — only the head zone is active.
