Thanks for this info Joel - really useful! I've been researching the EAD 10 to use with low volume cymbals and mesh heads at home (maybe triggers too). This also nicely shows another way to use it with pads! I may also consider using it live, after watching your video. All the best from the UK! 🙂
How is music played with a favourite scene to play along with ? I have Ipod Nano, does it plug in' aux in ' ? I also have an mp3 stick with music , same thing where and how do i get it to play my favourite music so i can play with a scene ? Thanks heaps , im lost a little i just got it 3 weeks ago and worried of changing a setting and or saving it. Thank you please reply when you have time. 🙏
I just bought an EAD10, it should show up this week, I’m worried about picking up crossover on live gigs as well as my vocals, especially if I have to really belt out a song, how do you set the gate to limit the “umbrella” as you stated?
Hi Jeff. Good stuff. Can you confirm.. tge yamaha pads trigger the EAD10 pretty well? I just bout a new DTX8K-MBF mesh he'd Ekit. Never thought the pads would work.. but I guess so!
Updated to 2.0 - didn’t add the low volume kits just because I had so many kits already built in the same user banks - the modules pretty easy to use. If you know what type of pad or trigger you’re using the 2.0 firmware includes trigger settings to the DT 50s and mesh heads which is really helpful.
This is an older model DTXtreme 1 - I think it dates back to the late 90’s The current equivalent model will be the KP-100. The old shells cool... you could use the DT-50k with a mesh head and an acoustic kick drum.
All the pads have the full velocity range - the pads have a great touch and feel. The audio gain was bumped up in the video mix - so might sound a bit more aggressive.
I’ve got the EAD10 along with a XP120SD...how are you getting such a great cross stick sound? Mine is so quiet even with the rim gain up. Love to know your settings
Good question the GEN 16 cymbals l are a bit bright and L80 ride cymbal would be more mellow for the mix (and close to the mic) but you can also use different effects like distortion to darken out the sound. What you hear is what you get with the EAD10 mic and if you stack, mute or add rivets etc you can customize your sounds.

Sounds fantastic.
Great Vid Joel!
I found that low volume mesh heads do not work well with triggers

Does the EAD10 come with adorable dogs? Absolute beauty pal

I totally copied this kit... so much more fun than playing rubber cymbals. I don’t miss the $2k module I used to play at all. The EAD10 is awesome
great vid, did you install the low volume update, or are you using the factory firmware? or the 2.0?
Updated to 2.0 - didn’t add the low volume kits just because I had so many kits already built in the same user banks - the modules pretty easy to use.

Hello, where is the kick tower available? thank you.

Hi Joel...greetings from Ireland ...how many cases do fit your rig into ?
Joel, are these kits pre-loaded in the EAD10 module?
No - all the sounds are in the module but you can build them - I’ll see if I can add a link to the kit settings in Dropbox.
Is the triggering velocity sensitive at all? or is it just triggering a sample at one set volume.
All the pads have the full velocity range - the pads have a great touch and feel. The audio gain was bumped up in the video mix - so might sound a bit more aggressive.

Hi Joel, was wondering if you can customize the sound of the cymbals too to match something closer to a real cymbal with less high pitch?
Good question the GEN 16 cymbals l are a bit bright and L80 ride cymbal would be more mellow for the mix (and close to the mic) but you can also use different effects like distortion to darken out the sound.
