T550 8" High Tom on Simmons Titan 50

Wiring, module settings, and tips for the T550 8" High Tom when used with the Simmons Titan 50.

Yes — the T550 8" High Tom works as a full tom on the Simmons Titan 50: head + rim.

Head Rim

Wiring: 1× TRS per tom → TOM1, TOM2, TOM3 connectors on the DB-25 cable harness

The Titan 50's tom inputs are dual-zone, even though the kit's stock 8" tom pads are single-zone. A Lemon dual-zone tom pad triggers both head (center piezo) and rim (switch) once Tom Type is set to Dual.

Cable routing

Connect a 1/4" TRS cable from each tom pad to the TOM1, TOM2, or TOM3 connector on the DB-25 cable harness.

Module settings

Press the SETUP button, then strike the tom to select it (the LED to the right of the display shows the selected input).
Press SETUP repeatedly to reach Tom Type and set it to Dual — this enables head + rim triggering for a dual-zone pad (the stock single-zone pads default this to single).
Press SETUP repeatedly to step through Sens, Retrigger, Threshold, Curve, and X-Talk.
Set Ratio to balance the rim zone against the head — a higher Ratio raises rim sensitivity.

Tips

With Tom Type set to Dual, the head (center piezo) and rim (switch) trigger as separate sounds.
Use a TRS cable — the rim zone rides on the ring conductor, so a TS cable would drop it.
