Hi Nate, I've been using the EAD10 for a couple years now and here are some thoughts/tips: -overall it is very quick to install and setup. It literally takes me 2 minutes to set it up. -most of the scenes sound like crap or overprocessed, which is why I think a lot of people here are saying "the Zoom is better"... -...but like you said, the 'Compressor' scene is actually very good and balanced and punchy. I use it about 98% of the time. -for lofi/hip-hop I like 'Dirty' (#8) and 'Motor City' (#29) -the snare side of the snare drum is actually too loud in most natural sounding scenes, because the snare side is geographically closer to the EAD10 mics. That's a pity and I don't know any solution other than lowering your snare. 'Compressor' doesn't have this problem thankfully. -drums or cymbals positioned right above the mics will be much too loud (we all usually have toms there or a ride cymbal or splash or whatever). No workaround other than put the drum/cymbal further away... Things you'll need: -In order to use the EAD10 to its fuller effect, like recording video with your phone, you'll need the Rec'n'Share app. It's free. It sometimes doesn't work very well. Make sure you turn the module OFF before plugging your phone, otherwise you'll see an error pop-up saying "couldn't recognize device, please plug a Yamaha device". -For iPhone user you'll need to buy the "Lightning to USB" adapter. It's overpriced (around $50) but without it you can't plug your phone. -Supposedly you should be able to play songs from your phone from the Rec'n'Share app. However most of the time the app won't even see or recognize the songs and you won't be able to do it. That's why I recommend to just use a jack cable to plug something like a phone, tablet, PC or disc player and use AUX to drum over music. -You'll most likely need a bag to carry the EAD10 around, I found a camera bag that is just perfect, I'll give you the reference if you need it. -You'll also likely need a male/female jack extension to plug your headphones into the EAD 10 if your cord is too short. -If you want to record video you'll need a long ass USB A to B cable, because Rec'n'Share can't use the iPhone 11 wide lens, so you'll need to put your phone quite far away from your drums. That was longer than I anticipated. Anyway, hope it helps. Most of the latest stuff I posted on my channel were recorded with the EAD10. Overall I'm quite satisfied with it despite the negative points that I've mentioned. I don't need a lot of scenes, I just need a consistent drum sound and something with which to record audio and video easily. The EAD10 provides all that.

@@eddygaspar6842 Sorry for the late response. It's a Lowepro Tahoe BP 150, which is now discontinued, it seems... But in case that helps, here is the internal size: 25.5 x 12.8 x 36 cm You can make your own little compartments, I made a big one for the module and two small ones for the AC and the trigger. Also has enough space for all cables and more. I think it's possible to find similarly-sized, affordable camera bags. I see lowepro has some stuff for like €200 which is way overkill for this, I think I paid like €60 for this one.

In case anyone's curious, the EAD is made for recording and not live sound. It's condenser mics will pick up all the sound from the rest of the band and the room creating feedback in a live gig situation. Definitely a bitchin mic for in the studio tho

I really like the ead10. I bought the extra snare trigger to isolate and change the snare sound. When I wanted to record a track before the ead I would sub mix a 3-4 mic set up on a Mackie 1202 which connected to a tascam digital recorder. Getting the mic sounds right and then sub mixing them so they're balanced took a lot of time. Then I'd upload it to my computer and software to add compression, reverb etc. Now I have the ead hooked up to my computer and the Yamaha mic does a good job of mixing a kit. I just record my track and send it off. I have to get more experience playing with some of the adjustments I can do with the ead but I'm really happy with it as a simple recording process. I think I can get a better natural drum sound out of using individual mics but the convenience and sound of the ead makes it an easy choice for me.

Got my EAD10 last year. If you're considering buying it, remember that your use of the product is contingent with the Yamaha Rec n Share app working properly. Yamaha customer support takes about 1-3 days to respond, so getting help can feel like playing tag. If you're making drumming videos for IG and/or KZbin, you can encounter periods of downtime. For me, I had to wait a month for the app update after getting the iPhone 11. Not sure whether to recommend this product. It's a dream come true when it works - and an absolute nightmare when it doesn't.

I could see the value for this in my home studio - it's in my basement. Using SM57 mics, and overheads, the room sounds terrible...I just can't get "studio quality" drum sounds. I do believe the EAD10 could help tremendously here. What I'm curious about is how would it work / sound in a live situation? Could ambient sounds "trigger" it? It would be cool to set up with a traditional drum set, but crank out some cool gated sounds or what have you. Could be a value-add for this thing. Still see it as a mic option, a good one at that. I'll consider one of these for sure!

I'm playing with EAD for a month,it is great, very easy to get it to work instantly. But I think it will never be like a recording you can make with some drum mics, audio interface and daw. Check out Jeff Randall. His drum sounds are amazing with 3 mics, and not ultimate gear. I'm starting to recognize instantly if the drum video is recorded with EAD. Specialy the snare sound, with the snareside sound prevalent. But when mixing with songs, it can blend really well I think. There's a song in my channel I just did with only EAD on drums. It's called Grape Hill #2.

Quality drums outside the snare hardly matter for recording. It's all the room, the mics, and the cymbals. Honeslty, I think the weak spot in your audio quality is the cymbals. I'm not particularly fond of any of them, and the ride especially always sounds over-bright and harsh for your style of playing. Get yourself a Dark Energy or K Con ride, a K Dark Thin crash, and some Sand hats (or cymbals around those lines--dark and complex) and your recordings will sound significantly better imho.

From a musicians point of view - by „musician“ I mean someone, who has been working for years to achieve a certain sound, something like a unique voice - this trigger-device seems kind of perverse. I even prefer the old Swingstar with all the wrong sizes, recorded by camera or zoom. This translates at least some of the players dynamic and tone. By the way- it‘s absolutely possible to record a small drum kit with only one or two halfway decent microphones. And it‘s fun to learn how!
