The Yamaha EAD10 is a revolutionary new way to mic, record, and share drum performances with the world. In mere seconds, capture a drum kit just as you hear it in the room, or access hundreds of scenes (presets) with hi-res digital samples and FX. Once you've got sounds dialed in, sharing is easy. Dual 1/4" outputs route the stereo drum mix to any standard interface for fuss-free pickup. USB and aux inputs let you jam along to music on your phone or flash drive, saving the mixed song and performance to the internal hard drive or a connected laptop. You can even use the free Yamaha Rec'n'Share app to sync video from your phone and audio from the EAD10 for picture-perfect drum covers that are ready to share. - เพลง
I would have liked to have heard more usable settings. Toys like this they ALWAYS fill with aliens sounds and wacky cartoon noises that no one over 10 yrs old is ever going to use.
FPChris Check the drummer Devin sumner on instagram. @dsumdrums. He does some crazy things with it and he’s over 10 yrs old
Amen.
Thank you. Most reviews lean heavily in the stupid sounds nobody cares about. Why.
this comment has aged horribly, lmfao
everyone uses this thing, and even years later no other company has even tried to make a competing product
@@drumlessenamsterdam dude did not think through his comment. Aged like cheese left out of the fridge lol
This Demo is the most informative by far....thus far on this product. Thank you!
Great Honest sales pitch you actually talk about the live stage problems associated. Well done
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.
I love the practice and video feature. Nice song NICK
as always: Great Review from sweetwater. Many thanks Nick, you‘re the man.
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.
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.
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.
Considering an SM57 is $100 and a 6 channel mixer can be $100+, it's already worth the $500
VERY cool! Yamaha is upping the hybrid drum game!
Very well made go through video. Cristal clear. Thanx a lot 🙏
Basically, every drummer in the world needs one of these. Yamaha killin it. And the add click track to your own tracks feature is outta the park!
Then everyone starts sounding the same.
@@webstercat obviously you missed the point of this thing.
I love this EAD-10. And Sweetwater.
This is a revolutionary thing! Love it!
Yamaha Makes Great Equipment !!!!!!!
Very nice ! Got mine and it's beyond my expectation..
Great overall video on how to use this - THANK YOU!
Your playing is so solid.
I like the compressor effect, it sounds powerful.
For my ears- compressor make sound dead and plat, phony
Damn, this is really innovative tbh. I've never seen Yamaha do anything this cool.
Its shocking and amazing how far technology has taken music. Really cool how just the one device attached picks up all the sounds.
Josue Montalvo that’s what I’m saying! You can do so much with this thing and for what it can do, it’s really not that expensive. I’m extremely impressed.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Graziano Ciccarelli Thanks man, haven't seen much info upon the release. I'll take a closer look once more. It's really promising and I hope it delivers.
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!
Just bought one .... anxious to see all it can do
Nick. You can sell anything. If I was any less of a man, I'd be bankrupt. Got the EAD10 in my sights for the near future. Thanks for the excellent demo.
hi.
just got mine.
thanks sweetwater!
😎👍
Grate, thank you was helpfull
I will buy this thing as soon as possible, cheaper and better like a two mic set up
the best explanation
Thank you! Very informative
I enjoy Nock's reviews...
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 🧐🧐🧐
Man, drumming has evolved so much... some may say it's gotten so complicated, others may be a bit more positive and say there's so many ways to shape your sound :)
Awesome! I want one...
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.
Did you use a personal mixer, or just plug in directly to the unit?
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.
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.
@@dapdrums ah... thanks for that. thats very perceptive. TOP COMMENT!
@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.
Damn This is NICEEEEEEEE!!!!!!
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!
Very tight 👌 ✨
6:30 Nice Phil Collins In the Air Tonight
I absolutely love this and would like to have one for my kit. My only question is how would this work for a double bass set up?
I like this because of how simple it is and seemingly intuitive the interface is. However, I'm worried about the EAD's ability to record drums that are on the left side of the kit. Any thoughts on its abilities there?
@ 19:28 the version 2 update has added a noise gate to help reduce some of the stage noise.
GAME CHANGER
Is all of the audio of the drums in this video solely recorded with the EAD10 mics? Or is there additional mic'ing?
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.
thats what I thought he was doing at certain points when you couldn't hear the acoustic kit, especially during the Flange Parts.
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.
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
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.
"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.
just watched a video on this yesterday and i'm in love. My wallet is already not happy with me . . . xD
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
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:
th-cam.com/video/qIyT-mspiN8/w-d-xo.html
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.
I bought one, but now ill send it back. I was thinking it would be good live ugh
Hi Sweetwater
I really enjoyed your video, thank you so much for sharing this information. I'm thinking about buying a Yamaha EAD10 to record my band's songs. Do you believe the sound quality that the EAD10 records is good enough to be in a quality recording?
Thanks for the information!
Hey, Rafael. Thanks so much for reaching out. I really like the EAD10. The sounds you get are really cool and balanced.
I hope this helps.
Best Regards,

Would I be able to use a normal trigger like the dt50k bass drum trigger from Yamaha and basically replace the the actual mic/trigger that comes with the module? I want a bass drum trigger but I don’t want to spend more money on another module if I don’t have to. Thanks again!!
This ead10 works with silentstroke and the zildjian Low volume
Makes no sense...
Ralf Mersch ???????
Have you tested it? I'm very curious about this point and would love to check a video showing the system on a "silent" kit.
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
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.
muchos saludos!!! estoy consultando y quiero adquirir el equipo (ahora.. veo que es un problema si se esta tocando en un concierto en vivo con banda ya que el micrófono captura guitarras bajos trompetas etc... y todo el sonido en tarima y eso es un problema) ahora mi pregunta es... hay posibilidad de bajar en el modulo el sonido del micrófono para no capturar el sonido ambiente se puede hacer eso? que se pueda utilizar solo los triggers en todos los tambores poniendo disparadores a cada tambor y conectandolos al modulo... esa podría ser una solución? se puede hacer eso? si es así el equipo es perfecto
many greetings!!! I am consulting and I want to acquire the equipment (now... I see that it is a problem if you are playing in a live concert with a band since the microphone captures guitars, basses, trumpets, etc... and all the sound on stage and that is a problem ) now my question is... is there a possibility to lower the sound of the microphone in the module so as not to capture the ambient sound, can that be done? that you can use only the triggers on all the drums by putting triggers on each drum and connecting them to the module... that could be a solution? is it possible to do that? if so the team is perfect
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 ?
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!

I wish that app was on androids. I might have to switch back to iPhone for this.
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 TH-camr or want to slow down a tune; but not a make or break app to consider a purchase.
Our Band has an in ear system
Can I get it mixed in with the other members and loops for certain parts, that I can dial it in for my mix andthe Sound guy for the front of house?
Nice demo by the way, covered about everything, God bless
Hello, and thank you for the question! Yes, you will be able to mix in with the other members of the group. There is a stereo output on the back of the module. You would have to send the output to front of house after mixing it in on your end. I hope this helps! Thank you for your interest!
Ian Lemberg, Sweetwater Sales Engineer, (800) 222-4700 ext. 1280
a demonstration with a larger kit, with an extra tom and more cymbals would be nice
shows off the jingle kick preset without playing the intro the Fresh Prince of Bel' Aire
Wow
Amazing! I have one question, instead of connecting it to my phone, can i connect it directly to my laptop and create a sound line for the drums and edit them there?
I do have the same question!
At 12:44 it has a picture of a midi connection, so if your software supports this module it should work no problem.
If the mike picks up everything why do you need triggers for snare and bas drum? What's the difference there im confused
What if you just want to hear your drums' natural sound?
Can the drum tracks be taken out with the rec and share app when playing covers?? 👍🏽
In a live setting, is there a way to send the sound from the module to front of house without click, but still be able to hear click, as well as the rest of the band, in my headphones?
Check out rob browns channel, he has a video where he explains for whole band and drummers only on how to hook up in ears with clic and backing track...ill try find the video n send you the link
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!
Hi Wagh_Rules! The EAD10 does only allow there to be one sample in place, so you would not be able to set up different samples at different velocities. If you want more layers to be there with a Yamaha sound module, you can check out the DTX502 that lets you set up 2, and the DTX700 which allows 4.
As for playback of just the samples, you can turn off the built-in mic, allowing for just the samples to play back. You would just need to pan them left and right to be able to have them be on their own output.
Thanks for your interest!

Hello but which one is better Yamaha 10 with one drum mic or the Sapien sound kit
What’s a good computer software to record with the EAD10?
I have only heard this device used to sound like Bonham.
Can this sync up with a DAW? Like starting recording through the mic will trigger recording in the DAW? (Manual editing and aligning to the tempo in the DAW is always annoying)
"Manual editing and aligning to the tempo in the DAW is always annoying" you'd be better off with Celemony's Melodyne -- perhaps Melodyne 4 essential at $100 is all you need to control the grid, but the full package is $850. Here's a cheaper idea: use the drums as the basis for your tempo and have the other musicians line up to the drums, you know ... the old fashioned way. ;)
Can it be used to record on an android and what extra connectors would i need . thanks .
Will this work with the Remo silent stroke mesh heads, or any mesh heads for that matter? Or they have to be regular Mylar heads on a the regular acoustic drum set?I live in a small apartment. So this would help a ton
Hello, Fil! The EAD10 can be used with triggers on a mesh drum head kit, no problem at all, but it will require some degree of setup. Thankfully, Yamaha goes into great depth on this here:

Live I dont see how it would pick up anymore extra noise than a normal overhead mic. I have heard of a lot of people using it succesfully.
Just dont point the speakers at yourself or have them too close
@Sweetwater I would like to know what he was using for a stand his laptop is sitting on?
It's called the Meinl percussion laptop table stand, I don't have it because they are quite pricey($220) but from what I've heard they're well worth the money
Is this the guy from Spock's Beard?
Yes
works on cell phone with android system?
How much delay is there between the unit's output and the acoustic output of the the drums? For instance, if a drummer used this live in a small enough venue amd routed the output of this unit to the PA would the sound from this unit produce a noticeable flam because of the delay between the acoustic output of the drums and the unit?
Hi, Mark! I would not be concerned about any latency on the triggered sounds. Triggers are used live from this and many other devices all of the time, and in my experience have always worked flawlessly. Thanks for your interest!
Mike Wuchter, Sweetwater Sales Engineer, (800) 222-4700 ext. 1789
Hey Nick do you think it's worth getting the snare trigger?. Doesn't the kick mic pick up the snare anyways?.
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.

Is there a way to make the EAD10 use 3/4 time when analyzing a song and creating the click track?
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.

What is the video cable and adapter you’re using to connect the phone to the EAD for video recording? I have the EAD from Sweetwater.
Our team would be glad to look into this for you! When you have a moment, please give us a call at (800) 222-4700 or email us at sales@sweetwater.com. Thanks for the message!
Dear sweetwater.
In the last month, my yamaha EAD10 stopped connecting to the phone (iphone 13) with a cable. I tried different cables, tried to connect a friend's iphone, but the result remains the same - the module simply does not see the device, although at first everything was fine after the purchase. I would be very grateful for help
You know what would make this even better is if it could actually help you match the drum tones to the actual song. Say I want the exact bombastic drum sound on "When The Levee Breaks" - you would pick the song through the app, have it scan the song as it does but then tells you how to "tweak" and exactly what effect specifically to choose - NOW THAT WOULD BE AWESOME. But it doesn't do that.
I'll give you another example,, say I want to play 100,000 Years by KISS, I, no doubt can get that flanger effect for the solo part, but my drums don't sound like Peter Criss on recording, it would help me tweak the drums to get that infamous drum tone he got on Alive or any other song for that matter.
The other thing is, why the hell do these modules always have to have space sounds. It seems the criteria for approval to sell these things is to have stupid space sounds in them.
And if you could adjust the pitch of your toms. Autotune for drums.
Can the Microphone be attached somewhere besides the Bass Drum? I play a Rack and sit pretty low, my Ride sits directly above my Bass Drum about 3" so I'm wondering if that might take away from picking up the rest of the Kit. Mine should arrive in a day or 2 but figured I'd throw the question out If anyone has experience with this (Positioning of the Mic). Thanks.
Hey, Dominick. Technically you could. But that position is ideal for picking up the complete kit. The rejection is pretty good on these, as well. I don’t think you’ll have any issues.
Jason Thiele, Senior Sweetwater Sales Engineer, (800) 222-4700 ext. 1391, jason_thiele@sweetwater.com
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?
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!

Ok I'm getting most of it except the long cable connect d to the brain and the USB lightning jack...so do I need 2 different cables for that recording from phone
Hello! Yes, there will be two different cables needed. When connecting the brain to your phone, you will need a USB cable and an adapter that will convert the USB to an Apple lightning connector. Thanks for your interest!

@@sweetwater Where on the back of the unit does this plug in?
How could I run this through in interface like the focusrite 2i2?
Hey nick if I put some mesh drum heads on my kit. I know I would need triggers for my toms and snare. But would I need one for my bass drum?
Hey, Anthony. You can use a kick trigger as well, but there really is no need since it has a kick trigger built in.
I hope this helps.

can this be hooked up directly to an audio interface through an instrument cable to an interface?
Hi, Rony. The EAD10 does have two 1/4" instrument outputs that can be fed to your audio interface for recording. It will work well as you describe!

Do i have to use iTunes? Or can i use spotify with it? Also would plexiglass work to isolate my kit from the rest of the band?
Hey, Jeremy. Thanks so much for your interest. It will not take tracks from Spotify. Plexiglass will help isolate you from the rest of the band mates, but you can expect a little bit of bleed through.

Can someone please tell me if you can save tempos with the metronome? I am trying to use a click with certain songs that have sequenced parts and dont have time to keep setting tempo between each song
Hi, C Drummys! You most certainly can. Tempo information can be saved within a scene. Simply set your different songs as preset scenes in the unit itself.

I saw this question already asked but ima ask it again cuz i didnt see any replies....if im rocking two kick drums, should i get one for each kick? That would cover the entire set i suppose. Anyone that can answer this it would be super appreciated!
Super late reply but oh well lol. You could just use one of the extra trigger inputs
Is this Yahama EAD10 only for cover? Or can we use it for church? Anyone ?
Is it possible to use this in a live setting and turn off the microphones and just use the triggered sample features on the kick or any drum I have a physical trigger on to then blend the signal with the house mics? I’d like to use this to add triggered effects like a large timpani drum samples over my floor Tom (for a specific song Intro) as well as blend a trigger into my kick. But I’d like to be able to use those features with the mics in rehearsal then live turn just the mics off and keep everything else.
Hey there! Yes, this shouldn’t be a problem at all. If I’m following you correctly, you can just simply not bring the microphone to your gigs, then you don’t have to worry about it being on or off. You can have it setup ready to go at the rehearsal space for whenever you need to use it!
Feel free to reach out if you want to chat a bit further. Especially if I’m not completely answering the question.
Thanks!!

@@sweetwater hey dude! Really appreciate your reply. I’d probably still want to use the mic as a kick trigger but I take your point in the sense that the module can be used as just a module with triggers plugged in. I guess in that case my question is more specifically can the mic be used as just a kick trigger with the mics turned off.
Am I able to plug this module into an audio interface and record along side mics I already have in place for the toms and cymbals? n00b dad question. Thanks.
That’s a great question. Yes you can. It does have quarter inch outputs that you can connect to an interface.
I hope this helps.

I'm going to start crying once I see the price
What is the USB connector called? Trying to buy one to connect to the drum module/lightning adapter?
Each video I watch on the ead 10 shows drummers beating the daylights out of their drums. Not unusual. What happens (other than being called a pansy drummer) when you play with brushes, or gently, or with dynamics? And with a 12 piece kit, for which I always hope? How many different drums and cymbals (and wood blocks and claves and timbales) are within the sound module?
Thanks for the question, Carl. Yes, drummers like to bash! As for your question, it would work. But, most of the sounds are designed more for "pop/rock" type sounds. With brushes, it way sound a little unusual. As for size of kit, it depends. The mic picks up quite a lot, so as long as it is in the range of the main BD unit, it should work fine. Experimentation would be the best way to see how it is going to work for you. Thank you for the interest!

Anybody use this for home recording? I’m just curious if it would be a cheap alternative to buying a giant board and large mic pack.
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.
You're better off with two overhead (or even one) condensers and a kick mic
@@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!
look up el esteperio siberiano
@@3SevenStangVids Yeah, that's a good call. I just got an EAD10, myself. I'm just figuring it out, and wanted a quick midline option that didn't involve having a separate interface/mixer/multiple mics/etc. I like just having a small box I can take anywhere with me that just clips onto the hoop too. It also has a bunch of other useful features that come with it. But, he has a great channel and info.! Happy drumming!
I have this for my drum kit and I am wondering how I can plug my headphones into the EAD so I can hear it while I play?
Hello, J_Drummer! The EAD10 is designed to pick up the entirety of a drum kit when the microphone is mounted to the bass drum hoop. From there, all you need to do is plug in a set of headphones to the main module and you’ll be able to hear your drum kit through the EAD10.
Thanks for the interest!

More cowbell please!!!
@SweetwaterSound is there an expert I can speak with concerning using the Rec N Share app with this module?
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'm typically around Monday-Friday, 9AM-6PM Eastern Time. Thanks!

Fantastic....thank you.
Despite the (somewhat ominous;) cautions stressed here at the end of this Sweetwater vid, Bobby Shubowitz has a great demo using the EAD10 live with his band, & bleed thru seems pretty minimal, check it out: th-cam.com/video/jaLp5DoeikA/w-d-xo.html I haven't tried it myself yet, but Bobby is making it look very doable indeed! ❤️
Can you tell me how you exactly how connect propertly Iphone 6s plus to EAD for video recording with sound in phone?.. I have problem, and can't do this.
You need an Apple lightning to USB camera adaptor, then plug your headphones into the EAD10.
Empower Drumming .. Sound recorded exactly to phone? I reading manual, and find - sound Recordings not supported this way..
Yes, but you have to use Yamaha's Rec'n'Save app. The audio is recorded to your phone or iPad that way. If you use just the EAD to record, you can record either to it directly (very short recording time -- a little over a minute, and gets erased every time you start a new recording), or to a USB stick.
