T550 8" High Tom on Roland TD-27
Setup — T550 8" High Tom on Roland TD-27
WorksYes — the T550 8" High Tom works as a full tom on the Roland TD-27: head + rim.
Head
Rim
Wiring: TOM1, TOM2, TOM3 connectors on the DB-25 cable snake → one per tom pad
Dual-zone tom triggering: head (tip) and rim (ring) are read over the one lead per tom input.
Snare and tom setup and troubleshooting guide ›Cable routing
- Plug the TOM1, TOM2, or TOM3 connector on the DB-25 cable snake into each tom pad.
Module settings
- Press [SYSTEM], select "TRIGGER" and press [ENTER], then select "BANK" and press [ENTER] to open the TRIGGER BANK screen.
- Strike a tom (display shows "T1"-"T3") or use the cursor buttons to select the TOM1, TOM2, or TOM3 input.
- Use the dial to set the Trig Type to the model that matches your tom pad.
- Back on the TRIGGER MENU, open "PARAM", select the tom, then set Sensitivity from the cursor + dial.
Tips
- Head triggers from the center piezo, rim from a second piezo mounted under the head.
- 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.
