This is a clever way for acoustic drummers to have a more versatile range of sounds. Introducing a modern twist to acoustic drums. I really like this option and will more than likely add the Yamaha AD 10 unit to my drum kit. Thanks, Nick, and Yamaha for this new innovation.

[@ramicksrameka3449]

answered the "live setting question". but actually someone here has used it live and it changes your whole perception. just use in ear monitors and no floor monitors near you to prevent the extra bleed although might depend on the genre too otherwise maybe you can unplug the mic lead and just use triggers. thanks!

[@DrummerGrrrl]

VERY cool! Yamaha is upping the hybrid drum game!

[@GlitchComputer]

You know what would have made this cool..? If it had an FX loop so you can quickly process your drums with your own effects. That would make this worth the $500 price tag.

[@coreyhels9638]

Agreed as well as an ability to use the triggers to control an external brain like a nord drum without having to run thru a computer to route midi.

[@PapiSnaz]

Considering an SM57 is $100 and a 6 channel mixer can be $100+, it's already worth the $500

[@ledhed5717]

@ 19:28 the version 2 update has added a noise gate to help reduce some of the stage noise.

[@dapdrums]

I just got and used live for the first time. I added a snare trigger. After calabrating the mics in it at the gig, I find that it is a reasonable IEM solution too. I could hear vocals and other instruments enough and my drums sounded great. I might move my ride over more next time , as indeed it was too much in the mix.

[@jdrumz321ify]

Did you use a personal mixer, or just plug in directly to the unit?

[@renbaleu6735]

I like the compressor effect, it sounds powerful.

[@TonyGellaDrums]

For my ears- compressor make sound dead and plat, phony

[@carlupthegrove262]

Just bought one .... anxious to see all it can do

[@StevenBosman]

Thank you so much for this. I almost bought it for the wrong application. I really wanted to use it for a live setting. If there is too much bleed from the other instruments, that will ruin a band's sound.

[@dapdrums]

I used live last night. I was going to go from the ead10 to the FOH and back to my iems, adding vocal mics etc... I found the unit picked up everything fine so I kept it simple and just plugged my headphones into the ead10. So, I found the perceived disadvantage and actual benefit.

[@ramicksrameka3449]

​@@dapdrums ah... thanks for that. thats very perceptive. TOP COMMENT!

[@dapdrums]

@UCFRnBFm3CVE5mwt4RLzYXHw I sometimes plug a snare and kick trigger in and blend the sound; but honestly if your kit sounds good and you use a preset that enhances the sound (via the mics); I just keep it simple. Ultimately, let's say for rock, I don't need my kick to sound like I am in Def Leppard; I just want it to have a little punch in my IEMs and slight reverb yet be my drum's sound. Good Luck to you.

[@fatchoppers01]

Last part was an honest killer for me. Was hoping to use it live.

[@andrecustodio-1]

[@CarcPazu]

Don't be fooled, this is not a review. This is a product demo to sell that thing, two completely different things. He's only highlighting pros and ignoring cons.

[@dylandylan11731]

I reckon this would be Uber cool to use in conjunction with a regular mic’d set up - as a parallel smack blend in effect - especially with how the internal compressor slams the way it does 🧐🧐🧐

[@eucabusas]

Thank you Nick! I love how honest this demo is unlike every other demo out there telling us it's also great for live performances.

[@drumfanatik316]

Mark Eurenz Cabusas it is great for live performances in small to medium size venues. I’ve been using it since November when it came out. I don’t use overheads or close miking anymore. Just the EAD and an internal mic in the kick. The video demos on this thing does not do it justice. Plus in live settings, you can also use it as your monitor for your kit and will also allow your band mates to hear your kit at a reasonable volume. So many possibilities and options in a live setting. Again, I need to stress, like Nick said, in a huge live setting, this won’t work. But when you’re in a small to medium size club, where sound is an issue then it will work depending on the size of your band, where the back line is set up, etc. Me personally I play in a 3 & 4 piece band and we use in ear monitors. We have a direct in to the board with the bass, and use close miking on the guitar amps so they don’t have to be turned up extremely loud. Also, being spread out on the stage a bit will also keep the amps from bleeding into the mic as well. Even if you use overheads, you’ll still have that problem. This is more centralized and you have total control over the gain. I keep mine set at 2-3 depending on the venue and haven’t had any issues with either the kit not being heard or too loud, or any kind of bleed or feedback from surrounding instruments.

[@eucabusas]

drumfanatik316 I see. Looks like it works then. However, not to sound whiney, I come from a third world country and though our bassist has a DI on his multifx, most backline amps here aren't closed miced either. Venues are to small so I think bleed is still an issue. But yeah, I hope by next year the whole band will run on IEM. Looks like I gotta try it once it hits the stores here to see for myself.

[@grazianodrummer]

also for live performance if you need to trigger kick and/or snare, just press the mic bottom and turn the volume of the mic down... just search using EAD10 for live situation on yt, a great guy made an interesting video. I will buy this EAD... for sure.

[@eucabusas]

I wanna know more about how it would work with silence pads on drums and silent cymbals. I play prog rock and need real drums but I’m loud so I need to come up with a way to lower volume in bars. Can you please upload a video for demo? Thanks. Please comment back

[@kevinaman8266]

Hey, maybe now you know it but just in case, with the new 2.0 update you can use mesh heads and silent cymbals with the EAD10.

[@RoeShamBoe]

probably the question a lot of drummers have is what happens if you play this with silent stroke heads and L80 cymbals? can this be used (triggered, not triggered, etc.) to create a "quiet" practice kit perhaps by using the triggers only and using the mic to pick up the L80s (if possible)? thanks.

[@totigerus]

thats what I thought he was doing at certain points when you couldn't hear the acoustic kit, especially during the Flange Parts.

[@RoeShamBoe]

yeah i wasn't sure, but i think the "mix" was just fx-heavy as opposed to running mesh heads. i know what you mean about some parts sounding like you couldn't hear the acoustics heads at all.

[@tylrbass]

Looks like you would want the added triggers since the main unit is a microphone and wouldn't pick up the mesh head hits very well, if at all

[@drumfanatik316]

It will pick up the cymbals a bit, but you would need to have triggers like he has on the snare in the video, to trigger sounds. So the actual sensor/microphone part, won’t pick up silent stroke heads.

[@HazeAnderson]

"can this be used to create a "quiet" practice kit" No, quite the opposite. And don't bother trying to practice quiet -- if you can't play loud, find somewhere where you can play loud. If you have to be quiet, work on your rudiments on a pad instead.

[@mikebarker9187]

But not a cheap alternative to buying two mics and laying them on your kickdrum. But then, you'd still need a mixer and recorder.

[@demonicsweaters]

You're better off with two overhead (or even one) condensers and a kick mic

[@blakenunndrums]

@@demonicsweaters ...and how much will a good kick mic alone run you? About twice the price of this whole system, for a Sure beta? lol Get some T-bone mics for cheaper i guess. But then, you have to have an interface and route cables and buy that setup too. It's basically, Tbones, the EAD10, or a studio setup that costs 5 times as much as the EAD10 (on a good day). lol Happy drumming!

@@3SevenStangVids Yeah, that's a good call. I just got an EAD10, myself.

Hey Sweetwater! Thank you for the awesome product review! I just had a question in regard to having the click in the video. I understand that the app will do a count off click and you can have a click while you play to a song, but if I were to upload that video to a social media platform, would the click be embedded in the track, or is there a way to play along with the click and then take it out in the final video. Hope that question makes sense. Thank you!

[@davidvandewiele9291]

from what I understood the mic picks up the acoustic sounds of the shells, and the module lets you add some effects and sounds so in your headphones you'd have a mix of the acoustic sound of the shells and the chosen effects. And you can change the balance between the natural sounds and the effects, am I right ? More important, what is the function of the trigger exactly? How is the sound/effect of the trigger (bass and/or snare) controlled ? Can you assign another sound to the trigger as to the shells and how's it done ?

[@sweetwater]

Hello, David! You are correct. The mic does pick up the acoustic sound of the drums and allows you to put effects onto the drums in real time, with a balance of how much of the effect you would like mixed with your natural drum sound. As for the trigger input, there are actually over 700 different sounds that you are able to assign to additional trigger inputs that are built into the sound module. Similar to other electronic drum set modules, you will just have to go into the sound module and choose from preset drum sounds, or you can assign the sound that you would like to have for each trigger. Thanks for you interest! Mike Wuchter, Sweetwater Sales Engineer, [phone]

[@laurenzarms]

Just found out about this tool. Thanks for the review! I'm wondering if this might be a cool thing to use for in-ear monitoring on stage and get a nice drum sound without bothering the sound engineer. But is there a way to adjust the individual volumes? Like more kick drum, less toms, more cymbals …?

[@sweetwater]

Hey, Lauren! Yes, you are able to adjust the output volume for each individual sample. I think that could be a really great option to use specifically for your in-ear monitors. You’ll just need to find a way to make sure that’s still being mixed in with the rest of your in-ear mix though. Feel free to reach out if you’d like to further discuss. We can certainly help more if we know your exact setup. Thanks! Nick Pasquino, Sweetwater Sales Engineer, [phone] ext. 3230, [e-mail]

Is all of the audio of the drums in this video solely recorded with the EAD10 mics? Or is there additional mic'ing?

[@bigdaddymicah4468]

Does this work with low volume heads and cymbals without using triggers on every drum.

[@sweetwater]

Hello, Big daddy micah! Not really. Without triggers, the EAD10 relies on built in mics to capture the audio of acoustic drums. Low volume cymbals might be okay, but with mesh heads and without triggers, your kit will just sound like mesh heads with effects on them. A set of triggers is recommend for using the EAD10 with mesh heads, and Yamaha goes over those setup specs here: manual.yamaha.com/mi/bo/ead10/en/05_sad_en.html Thanks for the interest!

[@atilaersindumlu7451]

Hi, does it record video and sound the same time to phone ??

[@greedfox7842]

no, it imbeds the audio recording into the video file, saved by your phones audio processor, so it will likely no be able to handle the high and low frequencies unless you have the best phone available. (my phone has a 32hz sound card in it, so it cannot process the full range of the drums) so yes the sound and video go together... but they cannot be separated late in an editor.

[@sweetwater]

Hello, Frank! I'm sorry to say the EAD10 cannot be set to 3/4 time. As per the manual, the time signature it can accommodate are: 1/4 to 16/4, 1/8 to 16/8, 1/16 to 16/16. Thanks for the interest! Cody Kraus, Sweetwater Sales Engineer, [phone] ext. 1766, [e-mail]

Hey, Review King. You can. The Rec’n'Share app will sync the audio from your drum recording and the song you are playing to right in the app so you can share it on social media. I hope this helps. Jason Thiele, Senior Sweetwater Sales Engineer, [phone] ext. 1391, [e-mail]

I have two bassdrums does it still work?

[@sweetwater]

Hey, Joe. Thanks for reaching out. Yes, it would work if you place it correctly. You would need to clamp it in the middle of the two kick drums. I hope this helps. Jason Thiele, Senior Sweetwater Sales Engineer, [phone] ext. 1391, [e-mail]

Hello but which one is better Yamaha 10 with one drum mic or the Sapien sound kit

[@mikebarker9187]

What is the result if you do not clamp the microphone box to your kick rim, but instead place it (somehow) not touching the kick but (somehow) in the same location? In other words, does the system design and resulting sound depend on the pickup of vibrations from kick-to-unit? And not only the two mics? And.... can you get a version that does NOT have all the effects? Where you want merely a two-small-mics-in-one-easy-spot recording/mixing/compression solution?

[@sweetwater]

Hi, Mike! The mics will transmit signal independent of the bass drum trigger, so theoretically it could be mounted elsewhere. There is not a version without effects. Feel free to call us with any other questions! Dustin Keesbury, Sweetwater Sales Engineer, [phone] ext. 1274, [e-mail]

[@PeterEnis69]

is there a way to add reverb and compression for example at the same time and even to specific parts ( toms only for example

[@drumfanatik316]

xXLaserXx yes you can have reverb and compression at the same time, (one of the stock settings does this already, I forget which one?) but, you can’t do it to specific parts of your drum set. It adds the effects to whatever the mic picks up.

Can it be used to record on an android and what extra connectors would i need . thanks .

[@maxmery_drums]

Hey Nick do you think it's worth getting the snare trigger?. Doesn't the kick mic pick up the snare anyways?.

[@sweetwater]

Thanks for the interest, Max. The advantage of the snare trigger is to be able to get different sounds clearly with the snare, as well. So that way if you are changing the kits and want a good snare sound and bass drum sound, that is the big advantage. Let me know if I can answer any other questions for you.

[@mikekelly7679]

What about if your playing live? Will it also pick up the guitars? Can I run this through p.a.?

[@sweetwater]

Hello! Jose from Sweetwater, here. Great question! I believe that this system wouldn't be the best in a live environment, but depending on what you are wanting to accomplish I'm sure we have other options available. I'd love to speak with you more on the details, so feel free to give me a shout at my contact information below. Thanks for the interest!

Hey, Jeremy! I'd be happy to help you with that. If I can't answer your questions, I have an in-house Yamaha rep. Between the two of us, we can certainly get you fixed up.

I wish that app was on androids. I might have to switch back to iPhone for this.

[@dapdrums]

If you have your old iPhone, you can use it without activating the phone of course. That is what I do. But, Rec and Share is only beneficial for the record yourself (audio or video) part. Needed if you are a KZbinr or want to slow down a tune; but not a make or break app to consider a purchase.

[@phillipsnell7188]

Hey Nick, this might be a a stupid question but here goes. I've seen a number of videos on this product no one has mentioned plugging this into a keyboard amp, instead of using headphones. Is it possible?

[@sweetwater]

Hey, Phillip. Thanks so much for reaching out. Yes, you can connect it to a keyboard amp. It does have 2x 1/4” outputs. I hope this helps. Jason Thiele, Senior Sweetwater Sales Engineer, [phone] ext. 1391, [e-mail]

[@phillipsnell7188]

I just received the ead this morning. I'm excited!

[@loganpierce3163]

That Phil Collins patch was spot on. So in your opinion would you get this or the sabian mic pack. I'll upgrade eventually I'm just anxious to get started recording on a low budget

[@drumdude68]

The Yamaha EAD10 is a better option in my opinion IF you add 2 more triggers for toms. The video recording and upload app is the cool feature that exceeds its dollar value. See the review of the Sabian Sound Kit here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/p3rchWCjqNWchJo You will see the the recording quality limitations of the Sabian products in this video. You could, however, use both Yamaha and Sabian products to expand your mic'ing capabilities by taking one of the main outputs of the Sabian mixer and sending it into the AUX input of the Yamaha EAD10. That way your Sabian signal would get effected with all of the onboard effects of the Yamaha. You would just hard pan each channel in the Sabian mixer to the right or left output, and then send that mono signal to the Yamaha since you only have one AUX input on the Yamaha. That would be an incredible set up! ... But do you want to spend $800 to get those results? ... Big question.

[@danielferrari1141]

If you play with 2X bass drum? How can I do?

[@drumfanatik316]

Daniel Ferrari add an extra trigger to your kick drum through the module and adjust it to whatever kick sound you’re using. Pretty simple to use this thing!

[@lupettodark4196]

hi, can I use this module with mesh heads e low volume cymbals?

Hello, Lupetto Dark! You certainly can! The EAD10 supports a total of six single-zone trigger inputs. Thanks for the interest! Cody Kraus, Sweetwater Sales Engineer, [phone] ext. 1766, [e-mail]
