Wiring, module settings, and tips for the T550 8" High Tom when used with the Roland TD-17.

Setup — T550 8" High Tom on Roland TD-17

Works

Yes — the T550 8" High Tom works as a full tom on the Roland TD-17: head + rim.

Head Rim

Wiring: The “T1”, “T2” and “T3” leads on the dedicated connection cable → one per tom pad

Dual-zone tom triggering: head (tip) and rim (ring) are read over the one lead per tom input.

Module settings

  1. Press [SETUP], turn the dial to select "Pad Settings", then press [ENTER].
  2. Press [F1] (TYPE), then strike a tom to select the TOM1, TOM2, or TOM3 input.
  3. Turn the dial to set Pad Type to PD85 or PD105.
  4. Press [F2] (BASIC), select "Sensitivity", and turn the dial to adjust it.

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.
