The Yamaha EAD10 Overview - Drumeo

[@kevinbick1234]

I have just bought one, this is outstanding. Live gigs are a breeze from them just being mics to making you're drums sound amazing, well done Yamaha.

[@InfamyOfficial]

It’s good for live performances?

[@InfamyOfficial]

Also for shows

[@scottculver5728]

I’m not getting it. Do you run the EAD10 through an amp/ PA. System? How would I use this to record videos in my drum shed? Could you help?

[@dennisjanichts]

@@scottculver5728 You have two triggers which trigger the kick and the snare, all other things are recorded by the built-in microphone. The drum module itself has a stereo output that you can connect to your PA/mixer/audio interface to record a stereo mix of the drums, if I'm getting that correctly

[@craneeater46]

We just gonna ignore how he did a full stick flip from a rock beat into a straight-ahead jazz lick at an entirely different tempo all Mr. Bungle-style at 4:00?

[@mikosoft]

with that gated reverb sound he should have done In the air tonight!

[@ACEspada01]

mikosoft Not enough toms.

[@fredfox3851]

It would be interesting to hear this combined with the studio microphones.

[@JoaoFerreira-fx3xp]

Feels like reverse edruns: you get the feel of an acoustic kit, but then can have all these crazy sounds.

[@drumguy1955]

I play cover tunes in a bar band and this is a one trick pony for setup and teardown. While most of the reviews detail the drum sounds nobody is going to use, the basic kit with some reverb works well for my use. Hook it to a PA channel, add your eq, and your done.

[@thecoreybrown]

Yes dude because I had that same question. I've seen other Instagram drummers use this and they said they added some other EQ and done. Because to be honest that didn't sound the way those insta drummer were playing. They had their snare poppin and everything more crisp and tight which is what I want. But do I have to pay more for this PA channel?

[@collinscott9808]

I’ve heard this thing is difficult to use live due to the mic bleed

[@michaeldumont6896]

I tried it a few gigs but I just couldn’t get my kick thumpy enough with it. Even w/ our subs and lots of bottom. I had to use a separate kick mic. Also I tried to trigger percussion w/ it off a dtx pad but there wasn’t enough gain to really hear it. For monitoring it’s awesome. But for live I found my own mics worked better.

[@alanwilliams9583]

So a module to trigger bass, options to trigger snare and toms seperate while putting whatever effects over what the mic is picking up. Sounds good for a drummer that needs better audio for youtube, while having nice sounds to practice to, and ease of tracking to project sent from other musicians ( via drop box and the app). Maybe its not for you, but i want it. Inspiration, triggers, uploads.

[@drumfanatik316]

alan williams it’s also great in a live setting! I’ve used this since it came out in November and no longer need to use overheads or have to mic every drum! I set this up, mic the kick and I’m good to go!!! This thing is absolutely amazing!

[@ivogeel7643]

Cool Idea, but only the bassdrum sounds really weird to me....

[@HHDLbass5]

Ja Guitar part of it has to do with the fact that it doesn't pick up the impact so to speak but the overall sound of the drum. The other part is this guy doesn't muffle his bass drum very much

[@sergioboni]

Agree. The sound is totally diferent from the one with mics.

[@bobayersquebec]

shame to death to compare

[@sirstabbyfork9675]

the EAD has a trigger on the bass drum so it makes that noise every time because he selected it on the module, he could change the sound of it if he wanted to, but for some reason he went with the fart bass drum sound

[@dsuedholt]

I actually thought even the studio mic bass sound was a bit weird. I guess it's just how he tunes/muffles his bass drum

[@anniemumford3582]

Why have I only seen this now? Crazy... I have never come across it. Darrrrrnn What an excellent gadget!

[@TonyGellaDrums]

I use it for practice with drum less tracks. Also try it for some gigs with drum set and cajon. On this video not edited mix trigger/ mics levels.. when you start spend time with it- you can get sound mutch better

[@slimjim1104]

Hipster level 9000. Not terrible for one mic. Pretty versatile device.

[@drumfanatik316]

I see a lot of negative Nancy’s commenting here! This is an awesome device and is definitely worth looking into. I don’t feel this video is a very good representation of what this module can do? People saying the sound isn’t that great? Well, he only went through about maybe 10 of the 50 pre-set kits. Plus you can build your own kits, have yore own effects, etc. the unit is totally customizable. Plus, there’s about 700+ percussion and effects sounds built in, or you can download your own, or run your software from a laptop through it! Plus it has more inputs for triggers, pads, and foot switches. You can use it for recording or practice. And works great in a live setting. I’ve been using it for about 3 months and have gotten nothing but compliments on the way the kit sounds. I use the sensor unit to pick up the kit, just like overheads, and put a mic on the kick and I’m ready to go. The soundman doesn’t have to do a thing! This thing is way more capable of other things then what they show you in this, or many of the other videos on KZbin.

[@SCHP1068]

Thanks for such a comprehensive review. I just purchased one myself and will have it in a few days. What a great way to practice and review your own session, not to mention playing to other tracks. Just downloaded my rec n play app as well...thanks again!

[@ethtt]

I think it's a pretty impressive device.

[@songueroproductionsllc5963]

I need one of these for my Yamaha stage custom.

[@sergeantspam51]

That us exactly the kind of drum set I have and I also have the Ead10 you should definetly get it is is all it says it is.

[@mattvdh]

I expected the bass drum to sound the best because it was sampling/triggering it. It's a pretty neat idea actually. I don't think I'd buy one because a Zoom is sufficient

[@hooninnpoonin3904]

What’s that

[@trismurray]

Great demo, nice one guys.

[@Gmacdrums]

It seems a bit limited from what the video displays. From a professional perspective I can't see a reliable or consistent use for it, but I think it would be really helpful for making covers quickly, practising with different samples, and might save you some money on investing in microphones and interface... Definently not a substitute though.

[@randy7906]

[@drewb5775]

everything sounds like one overhead mic. which is fine, but the kick sounds shit

[@mojoemurphy]

I feel the same. Beater sounds pretty good, snare sounds good as well. Think with a decent kick mic run with it this would be quite the tool

[@mattcw519]

Seems to work like overhead mics but w some effects & sampling. Thinking it is a great live application, great for social media drummers to have a quick set up, and for demos or quick recordings. If I were to take this product to the next level, I would probably want to figure out a way to mic the kick drum a little bit better.

[@SatriaSeptaWijaya]

Great sound !

[@BeboJones]

I really like this

[@gabbykool]

da drummer is so trippy dope

[@imacashew.]

I’d be very interested to see what the live application is like for this device

[@theethanatorem]

Dallas Farmer I’ve heard it has some feedback issues due to how sensitive the mic is. Don’t take my word for it, but it’s very possible seeing as how it gets a wide picture of the set from just one mic.

[@drumfanatik316]

theethanatorem there’s actually two condenser Mics inside the unit and you can adjust the gain. I’ve been using this live for the past 3 months and have had no issues. It’s great in a live setting. Very easy to use and set up! I don’t think the videos they show are a very good representation of this product? Plus there’s just not enough time to show all the capabilities!

[@jerrycatania7159]

You can adjust the mic setting to compensate for this.

[@shockt9610]

This would be a great solution for IEM rigs.

[@gonzorudeboy]

When the mics were compared, the settings of the module were not on normal (Arena). Not a super good comparison.

[@ivohollenstein4152]

Hi guys, I have a question how it looks with the compatibility to other microphones and a sound system with this device? I am worried that there will be feedback on the sound system and that other instruments such as a bass or a guitar might cause noise. how do you see it? would be pleased about a feedback.

[@drumfanatik316]

Ivo Hollenstein I’ve been using this for about 3 months now and can tell you, there are no issues with the Mics picking up the bass or guitars. This thing is great in a live setting, and the videos don’t really show everything that this unit is capable of!

[@ivohollenstein4152]

okey nice thank you for the answer

[@MrPhantom95]

I have a question! I’d really like to know if it’s possible to just hear your kit through the mic without any effects. Just the natural sound from the drums

[@HessianHunter]

Yeah, you don't have to use any effects. You can just use it as a microphone.

[@ikeeptime]

great question

[@davebeal65]

I run the drum section of a local music store. The rep pitched it to me today and I tried it out. It does have some cool features but I am thinking I'm more likely to get stuck with it for awhile. What do you think, should I buy in?

[@koru5]

Interesting idea however I’m really not impressed with the sound. Try an SM57 in a similar position - the results are much better.

[@jaakkomakinen6905]

[@avgdrummer]

Interesting system. I would need Android compatibility before I could make full use of it though.

[@jermss_]

it's out now!

[@sungminoh9927]

I've been using the Yamaha's EAD 10 module in our band to get the drums' signal and send it to to our mixing console so that it can play it through the PA speakers in our setting. Soon, our sound mixing guy tells me that all the sound that is sent to the module into the auxiliary input from the the mixing console is passing by and being sent back to the mixing console together with the drums' signal from the output of the module. So for example, instead of just receiving the drums' sound in the mixing console from the module all the other instruments are being sent as well. Is it normal for this to happen? The sound mixing guy is asking me to configure so that just the drums' signal is sent to the mixing console through its output. Bur for some reason the signal that I receive to monitor and play on top of it is sent together with the drums' signal. Is this normal to happen? Is this a default setting from the factory? I've tried to look at the manuals but couldn't find anything regarding this matter. Would greatly appreciate any help! Thank you!

[@harrisnasution1351]

Try shielding your kit.

[@Lissetete]

That’s cuz this mic picks up any sound from any instruments around you Man. Check the review of this mic from Sweetwater they don’t recommend it for live sessions just for solo ones :) Hope this helps

[@anonymous7192]

It shouldn't be used in a live band setting unless everyone else is using silent gear with headphones

I understand how it works but if you were using this device and shooting an instructional video where you play stop and talk how or can you set up mic for speaking as well? If not how are you running your speaking mic’s?

[@ronytomano]

can this be hooked up directly to an audio interface through an instrument cable to an interface?

[@JourneyDrummer1972]

Wow, I'm way behind in all the tools everyone is using for "Uploading" quality sound in covers. A lot of legends and teachers are using this for lessons especially. Just bought one with added trigger for 10pc. All ya "Haters" need to refrain from commenting if you have nothing nice to say. "Sound" is always an individual preference. This device is to help get "your" sound heard without going in $2-3,000 for studio recording. Some of just want to play and enjoy sharing what we play.

[@AaronLevyDrums]

[@jooplin]

yeah of course, but the ratio of input/output is way better

[@TheGuyFromWI]

One decent overhead mic and GarageBand with a $75 audio interface will get you this quality or better.

[@drumfanatik316]

The beauty of this thing, is when playing live, all you need is the stereo condenser Mics that are inside the trigger. Set up is ver6 easy and minimal. Don’t need overheads or individual Mics on each drum. Plus you can add triggers and pads to it and don’t need to carry around a bunch of extra gadgets like cowbells, tambourines, etc. or all the heavy hardware to mount it. Or you can add you own samples, record and upload to all your social media outlets, and have complete control over your mix. This thing is a lot more useful then you think. If you haven’t tried out, you should!!!

[@snillocs]

Do have to put the device on the batter loop? Or can it go on the other side . My Tom Toms sit low and I am really considering this for my first mic set up for recording! That’s like the only thing holding me back.

[@WaghRules]

Great review! I am considering an EAD10 and have 2 questions and was wondering if you have an idea about them: 1. Can you use different samples for different velocities? I have some That Sound samples and they have 5 different velocity samples per snare. Is it possible to load them in so that they trigger accordingly to how hard you hit the snare? 2. Is is possible to set up the EAD10 in a way that you only get the sampled kick and snare (so I could use them and add other mics too it) and you can seperate them in the outputs? Would be awesome if someone knew!

[@Lissetete]

It’s not possible. The mic picks up any sound around you. That’s why they don’t recommend it to live sessions.

Also what would happen if you hook the EAD10 up at 1 o clock or 5 o clock whether on the batter or reso side? Would you still get the same result as the EAD10 at 12 o clock batter side?
