Although I'm not a drummer, Lindsey, I enjoyed this video because you have a knack for explaining clearly to a non-musician without oversimplifying to your core audience.

[@jasonanschutzmusic2273]

Holy crap! I'm blown away from the detail you put in this video. I'm completely about away from the Yamaha EAD10. The sound it gives on the drums is really really, good and hopefully it fits my budget. I can't wait to watch part 2 and 3 from this series. Thank you for taking the time to make this series Lindsey.

[@stevesmacfix]

Nice vid. I was curious what your setup was. Thanks.

[@edwinchomusic]

Love that you're doing this series, Lindsey!

[@WillPlaysTheDrums]

Thanks for the tips! The acrylic DW kit with the neon lights looks amazing

[@mikehannahs]

Thank you, somehow I’m going to do it, I don’t have any drum covers but I do play

[@RameshKumar-mv3jd]

Thanks for the info. I love the little pose you do every time after your last drum hit haha

[@craHUNzyTER]

Thank you a lot for this video. I play drums for fun and mark my progress by posting drum covers for friends & family. I used to use my iPhone 13, but it works badly with a lot of crashes in songs. I want to improve sound quality and I'm trying to find not very expensive & not very complicated way to get better sound from drums. Looking forward to part 3 with Yamaha EAD10 example

[@MitchellBader]

Great behind the scenes look and explanations of the process!

[@TheGhostNotePodcast]

I am so envious of your set up! You even got me painting my walls black 😅 My rgb LED lights arent strong enough so my videos look rather dull at the moment so I cant wait to see your lighting set up video. Keep up the good work! I learned the song "When we were young" based off of your drum cover! I am happy to see what drumming has done for you!

[@kasperdrum]

Realy cool to see you facecam explaining your work process with exemples 👍

[@jdroz0512]

Been following you since those garage videos

[@aaronyonkersdrums8081]

I love this video, it’s so straightforward

[@nanoelbatero57]

Thank you for this tutorial, I never knew how to record drum covers until now!

[@PorterDrums91]

Thank you so much for this video. I know next to nothing about mic kits, interfaces, and recording software. I stumbled across this video and it intrigued me enough to buy the EAD10. For over a decade now I’ve been wanting to create decent Drum Covers, and I am very excited to try it out.

[@alexanderzhuravlev4024]

Very helpful! Thank you!

[@RhyOnyxDrummer]

Thank you for taking the time to share this information. I have an e-kit so it’s a bit different when it comes to recording and sound but the rest is very helpful. Looking forward to the next two videos! 🫶🏼🥁

[@drummin2dabeat]

Interesting equipment. It's a pretty daunting, all-in forklift investment, if one were to buy all that day one. It's important to understand that you can get into this on a shoestring budget, and incrementally up your standard over time. The Confucius saying "you don't need a cannon to kill a mosquito" definitely applies if you are just getting into the game and don't have the money, audience, etc. But when you get to 180K subs and you're playing stuff like Blink 182 covers, there's a standard and you need most / all of this stuff, including some things not mentioned in the video (filters) that can do things like dampen the snare drum.

[@Anesias]

🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@drewfasa]

Really appreciate these production vids. Subbed!

[@k0mbutcha]

awesome video, thanks a lot 😊

[@ianarnold3616]

This is great. Im just starting out with my own drum recordings so this is helpful 👍

[@Jeffmd2020]

Is it just me or did the iPhone have better audio than the GoPro 9?! The GoPro made the snare sound like it was under water

[@EricMerrow]

Im still kind of unsure about the EAD10, does it alter your drum sound? Your snare always sounds absolutely massive!

[@jeremyfaucher8750]

EAD10 is awesome. It basically is a mic with the option to trigger sounds. It adds a bit of effect but you can have as much or as little as you like. You can add/buy a snare trigger and tom triggers as well and the whole kit can be triggered. I just use the EAD10 with no extra triggers. Just some reverb and the kits sounds like a beast.

[@ashleycrashdissinger8021]

I have a question to tell ya, if I may. 😏 I have a GoPro hero 9, a Motorola stylo5, I don't even know how to start a laptop and I just pulled the trigger on an aed10. I can't find any videos about pairing an Aed10 with a GoPro which raises lots of questions for me but before it arrives I mainly wanna know what cord id need if it's necessary-or even possible-to tether them. Thank you. P. S. You rock 🤘😝 keep it up

[@steveparmley]

Hi Lindsey. Thanks for the video. I am gearing up to do some drum cover videos more for a video resume. Every band or musician I have contacted has asked me if I had videos of my playing. My plan is to capture myself playing to rock, blues, country, R&B, funk, Motown, a Bossa, swing, reggae and a variety of shuffles. I've got a mic setup, interface and software (and drums too of course). Have you run into any copyright conflicts, or do you think denoting that as a disclaimer would suffice? Seems like a lot of work, but the goal is to get the gig!

[@neojmtanner]

👍

[@Over_It]

Do you have a patreon? Long time subscriber & follower. You're doing great work!

[@Desgot2unes]

Is it necessary to have an EAD, mics, and an interface for quality audio? What is the function of the EAD as opposed to the interface and mics? Also, are the ear plugs just for protection or are you also listening to the music you’re playing?

[@pavel_alechin]

Waiting for new drum cover

[@lobbyrobby]

How about some advice on the kit? I'm just a beginner so I'm sure this will get better but anytime I know I'm about to play a fill I start tense up.

[@dasaweet1]

I actually prefer the video quality and the audio quality on the iPhone 13 pro over the GoPro's

[@danahareb1852]

If you have to plug the ead10 to your phone while you’re recording then how do you get your phone at a good angle for the video? Or did I misunderstand :x

[@JakeMDrums]

I recently started doing drum covers gear editing and sound are not an issue. I was wondering if you have a plan to do a video for the uploading, thumbnails, rags etc.

[@angeldawnmorningstar]

Fun E-Drum Cover Suggestion : Saga - Wind Him Up Fast , Tight , and Tricky in the curves 😏 😇❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@kaleb126]

Really thank you for this video Lindsey! 🫶🏻

[@JpDubbed]

But can you use the EAD10 recording files with Logic Pro? Will it record in 1 file or multiple files for individual elements? i.e. 1 file for snare, 1 for kick, etc Nice series Lindsey!

[@TONSQUAD]

Would recording my Alesis strike pro electronic drums be different than acoustic?

[@mackermelchor5212]

❤❤❤❤

[@mackermelchor5212]

I like the audio from the iPhone better.

[@veikkalarudrums]

Was that clip with shure mics with no audio processing? If so your drums and that room sound really great as it is!

[@eggmooi2797]

I was about to say the same. The raw signal from the mics sounds better than the EAD10 (not a fan). Still too boomy/muddy ofc, but when properly mixed there’s no way the Yamaha would sound better.

[@mrlovalova5059]

Cool stuff. A few suggestions though: 1. Please use a better mic when you're speaking. 2. The lighting setup could be improved, so that your face is not too bright. 3. You could add another camera for a different angle. Everything else was fine for my eyes and my ears. Nice to see how much you have improved over the years. Well done :-)

[@chevy16]

what if you have an electric kit?

[@derfonaidag7911]

how about e-drums?

[@drummerman4444]

I never saw a woman drummer until You Tube. Cool to see women are now getting into drumming.

[@ledhed5717]

Women have been in drumming for years. What rock did you crawl out from?

[@gacdrums6685]

Beautiful woman…

[@sarosigma3698]

[@GolfJulietBravo]

A perfect woman doesn't exi...😳

[@goloyblog]

how to not to copy right on songs cover you will play?..sorry my english is bad hahahahha

[@campusman1957]

your two items total over a grand thats not breaking your bank??????????????????????????????????

[@Warmeagle8530]

No dude. Do u know how much audio equipment costs? Audio for filming, theater music etc is probably the most expensive hobby.

[@gonzorudeboy]

Great thorough video. Thank you!

[@LindseyRayeWard]

You’re very welcome :)

[@ericp.semisch1058]

my fav drummer, beauty, charisma, and beats the hell out of those drums!!!!! good luck expanding and keep going!!

[@LindseyRayeWard]

Thank you!!

[@justinm.1]

You should make a twitch channel to do drumming livestreams!

[@LindseyRayeWard]

I’ve actually considered this recently!

[@konnai4973]

i actually recently switched from recording with 1 room mic to using my iphone because of how good the microphone quality has gotten over the years!! i find it so much more convenient and i've never been happier fast producing clips :D

[@LindseyRayeWard]

That’s awesome! Glad to hear. Whatever keeps the process fun and enjoyable! 🙂

[@DPhikingadventures]

Thanks for this information and your time doing this video! You seem like a super person and so down to earth and relatable.

[@zackyjacky2078]

Very great video tutorial! Very nice! I love your videos on KZbin Instagram TikTok etc.

[@LindseyRayeWard]

Thank you 😊

[@remedydrums2]

Awesome video! Looks and sounds great! Here 4 the series! 🤘🔥🥢

[@LindseyRayeWard]

Awesome! Glad you’re here!

[@nathanielwahlang8516]

[@JpDubbed]

Can you import drum library sample packs into the EAD10 module?
