T550 10" Low Tom on Simmons SD1500

Wiring, module settings, and tips for the T550 10" Low Tom when used with the Simmons SD1500.

Setup — T550 10" Low Tom on Simmons SD1500

Works

Yes — the T550 10" Low Tom works as a full tom on the Simmons SD1500: head + rim.

Head Rim

Wiring: The "To Tom 1"–"To Tom 3" branches of the multi-pin cable harness → one per tom pad (a fourth tom: 1× TRS → the side-panel TOM 4 jack)

The tom inputs support dual-zone (head + rim) triggering via the center piezo and the rim piezo.

Cable routing

  1. Plug the "To Tom 1", "To Tom 2" or "To Tom 3" branch of the multi-pin cable harness into each tom pad.
  2. A fourth tom connects with a 1/4" TRS cable to the 1/4" TOM 4 trigger input on the module's side panel.

Module settings

  1. Press [UTILITY], then [MENU] to open Trigger Setup.
  2. Select the Tom input (strike the pad or use its Pad Select button).
  3. Step with [PAGE -/+] and adjust Sensitive, Thresh, Curve, Retrig-C, X-Talk, Splash-S.

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.
