Tons of people are DMing for the cable to connect to the computer and the motherboard (module). What you need is a midi cable that connects to USB. It should already come with the EAD10. If not, they’re pretty cheap on Amazon. Stay safe!
Instructions unclear. I got my chicken stuck in the ceiling fan. FR though, this was helpful. Miking up a kit seems confusing and scary. But this looks easy.
I have the EAD along with other individual instrument mics, and the EAD is the heart of the operation. Stereo customizable XY mics, mixed with an overhead pair, and a couple instrument mics. That EAD is a beast though! I use it live too out of an amp or PA for live playing,, for an instant mic setup at a gig where drums need a little micing. The EAD is great, very true with the sound it captures, captures it from the middle of the kit which sounds much different than "airy" overheads or a room mic. Also, it puts those sample sounds as a digital processing signal on top of the normal timbre of your drums. An EAD, a couple overheads and a kick mic for honest kick tone and not a triggered sound, a snare mic, a room mic, and then mixing them together. The EAD is a BEAST! Practice with it, record with it, use the recNshare app if you just want to only post covers (which I don't), and it captures great sound from this middle out. Pairing those with a L and R overhead; you have 2 stereo pairs to use, plus I use a Sure Beta 91a for my kick. Awesome video! Thing is super useful! Thanks for the video! I got mine originally after an older video of you, where I saw where you used one. So glad I did, thing has SO many capabilities! I use it for practicing and for my students too. I hardly ever use any sampled sounds on it and just use as stereo condenser mics, but I really love my EAD! Thanks Zach! You inspired me to get one, and I'm very glad I did! Fantastic way to easily mic, takes 15 seconds to install. You can also bypass all reverb, trigger, and effects and just use them as purely condenser mics by hitting each button under the LED screen, click bypass, then exit on all 3. The lights will start flashing, then it acts purely as a stereo mic pair. Happy drumming! Works GREAT! As far as a quick and dirty mic setup that's stereo and gives true sound from the center for the kit; the EAD is phenomenal! Totally worth the 500! Getting this and pairing it with a cheap drum mic setup is the best of both worlds in my opinion. Gives you great control of mixing!
@blakenunndrums Yeah I was trying to work out how to set up a condenser and add to ead10 in input 5 or 6, because I have the sd50 dual trigger on snare 3/4. I actually have an extra trigger I might add floor tom on 5. But I wanted to add a condenser mic to ead near my hihat and splash area, so I tried to hook up to 6. I'm new to it still. Couldn't find a single vid with anyone adding their own mics to ead on YT. The manual didn't discuss that.
@@teddycampbellband2648 You can't add mics to the actual unit/brain itself, only triggers or pads. The way I use it with other mics is like you would with any other multi-mic setup, with an interface and DAW. I just use it as a part of my whole sound, and plug the left and right into 2 inputs on my interface, and then the EAD is mixed in with the rest of the individual instrument mics. So, no...lol. But I will say, even after all this time, 14 different mics, a 16 input interface, and all that; I find myself coming back to the EAD more than anything else I have for recording. If you're just posting ideas, trying to remember something, feel like sitting down and immediately recording yourself without mixing and editing audio and video together, practicing, covers, etc; the EAD is definitely where it's at. It's almost as fast as plugging in a USB mic into your phone (which I also do with a Shure MV88). It's basically this: 1) a cheap full kit mic package and interface like a T-bone mics setup, 2) the EAD, or 3) a multi-thousand dollar "pro" level home setup. The EAD also has 3 other functions that none of those other platforms offer for practicing, posting, and playing live. I've used it on a DW Frequent Flyer bop kit setup on gigs before, and you can make a schlepping bop kit sound like a full-sized concert kit with a 22" bass drum with it. I highly recommend it, and use it more than anything else eventhough I have a much more precise (and time-consuming and expensive) setup.
This was literally what I needed in my life! TH-cam pretty much has zero videos on how to effectively eq the ead10 in garage band so thank you! Will be completely coping your settings for now on because your mix is so clean 🔥
Dude that’s so scary how I literally been looking for the same amount of time. And I’m not even kidding you this video confirmed it for me, then once I saw el estaparios video I was like fuck it and ordered it 😂that’s crazy man I hope you enjoy it
Update: Cancelled my order on Musicians friend after waiting for months and drove to my local-ish drum shop (Forks Drum Closet in Nashville) and they literally had like 6 of them. So if anyone really needs one, hit them up!
I've had mine for a little over a year and a half. For anyone who may be skeptical of how well it performs, I can assure you that it will hold the test of time. I use mine everyday for practice, recording covers, and even for use in medium sized venues where my whole kit may need a slight boost to fill the room. This thing was absolutely worth the money.
As an audio engineer, your mix method 100% how it's done. My professor always preached about "goldilocks it." Whether it's EQ, Compression, or any FX. Crank it all the way up, ew no... Crank it all the way down, i can't hear it... Turn it up a little, a bit much... Turn it down a little, needs more Touch it up, just right👌. My minimal drum mic setup is using the Glyn Johns method for my drum demos, cuz i only got 2 condensers and i like roomy sounding drums. One look over my left shoulder down at snare, the other looking over the floor tom at snare. measure them so they're both the same distance from the snare to make sure they're in phase, done.
This is honestly what I need, I was planning to push a Shure SM57 up against the wall in my laundry room but I love the "out of the box" crispness from this module without much engineering. Thanks for sharing!
Dude! Well done man. Finally a well presented, straight to the point video that stays on point and actually tells you what you want to know in a way you’ll understand. Thank you mate 👍 cheers from Australia
YES! I used to do that to record my drums back in the 80's! I had a mike from an old Phillips portable reel tape deck and plugged into my little Casio boom box. I'd tape the mike to the batter side hoop and make sure the end of the mike protruded just past it. Worked great! The hats and cymbals were a little weak, but everything came out surprisingly well. I thought it was pretty good for single mike recording.
Man every time you post something I feel my bass calling me to play a funky ass baseline lol. That piece of gear is like an overhead mic but with trigger sound. Pretty cool.
I love how you directly said to just sell the house and buy some microphones. I swear when I started studying audio engineering I never thought good mics would be the first gatekeepers lmao. Also being a Sennheiser fanboy doesn't help when your condenser mics all cost more than 400 usd (and you live in the third world like me). Thanks for the video btw, had always wondered how you were recording your drums and getting that tight sound, btw compressor was lit for soloing.
Thanks for this video, Zack! I got my EAD10 in October. It was the best purchase I've made in a long time! I couldn't be happier with it! I'm still learning new & awesome things it can do four months later! I got the combo pack that comes with a DT50s for the snare also, which only ups the price to like $550. Fantastic gadget and a nice way to sound great without breaking the bank OR taking a course in sound engineering!
thats hilarious. the timing of this is perfect. Been drumming for a long time and have never mic'd my drums except at the family studio, so i have very little knowledge on recording my drums. this helped alot and again. the timing could not have been more perfect. ive been looking for "that thing that goes on your kick" LMAO thank you brutherrrr
I honestly prefer this sound to the modern day hyper production methods and over mic'ing used more commonly now a days. It's one of the reasons old jazz has that sweet, subtle, perfect mix of toms, snare, and bright singing ride cymbols. Also, instead of boosting your highs and lows, try leaving them flat, and cutting the mid a bit. It probably will sound even better if you cut the highs some, the mids a bit less and leave the low at no cut, no boost. Additive EQ tends to color the overall sound and harmonics where cutting will just remove the sounds/harmonics getting in the way
Ive been away from the kit and recording covers for a long time, but this was a great video for anyone who is a beginner or who's trying to get back into the groove and upgrade their quality!
hey man. i just got kicked out of music school and im thinking of taking my life. i dont think this shits for me, but it was all i had. you are such an inspiration man. im so glad i oved your videos. keep up the chops
I’ve been using a an e-kit for about two years, and I recently got into my church’s worship team, so I am planning to get an acoustic kit for myself. I’m getting it from another church and it comes with a drum shield and 6 mics. The problem is I only have a two input interface because I also produce music (it’s in my channel if you want to look ;) and I don’t want to spend so much on a new interface, so using atleast two mics would be useful if I want to record anything at all. Thanks for this video, Zack.
Probably the best cheap alternative for getting a half-decent drum sound and not needing to learn how to properly mic drums and buying all the mics to do so. Might just get one to add to my set up for some live overdubbing
Used to do that back around 1978 in my friends cellar ..... Pretty much the best place for single mic (shure sm57 I believe it was) to go, then right into the mixing board.
@3:10: "The more you have it up, the more your microphone is gonna act as a literal trigger" It's not the microphone, there is an actual trigger in there that's hooked up to cable A. I guess it is useful if you want your drum to sound like an 808 or something.
I got mine for the same reason. SUPER easy to use. I record my newer videos the same way. Another fun thing that i like to do with it is live stream on Facebook with it. Usb out into a usb adapter (to USB C in my case), and then into my phone and the audio my phone records is the EAD10. I've also used it live as a monitor mic for my in ears. It worked pretty well. If anybody is interested in using it live, make sure you turn the gain WAY down or else it will pick up sound outside of the kit.
Nice! Ead 10 is using an old recording technique. A mic placed between the set in direction alt the snare. Used in Rolling stones recording gimmie shelter, with a tight ribbon mic. I recommend you to try the 2mic technique from glyn jones!!!! It requires MORE CHOPS
Just discovered your videos super glad to see another person that uses GarageBand! I have no audio engineering experience either I just my videos to what i want it to sound like!!! Dope video bro
EAD10 is pretty good. But I found it sounds better if the device is not attached to the kick drum. Especially small size kick drum. Because the vibration of the drum will affect the mic. I use another stand to keep it in the air a little in front of the kick drum and the kick drum sounds much more original, however in this way you can't make the trigger work. If you only want a natural drum sound just try this !!
2 years late. But to add for those of you who have to use mesh heads and low volume cymbals on your acustic kit/home kit: you can use this for practice. It’s awsome. I would advice getting at least a trigger for your snare in addition. Yamaha has ready made firmware on their site especially tuned for this setup. The EAD10 is worth its weight in gold imo. Edit: I use Yamaha DTS50 triggers for all my drums on my silent practice kit. But it’s not really needed for practice and expensive. Another tip if you use mesh heads is using a little duct tape on the heads to get a more real response(it lessens the heads ability to stretch/contract) and gives a bit more sound(keeps a bit more air in the drums after a stroke).
Very nice, sir. I'm always looking for new ways to mic things. Never knew about this mic. Yamaha should send you more, or a check at least, cause I'm sure you just sold a few. I know I'm going to buy one.
Man... soooo Good! I have a good setup myself, but this really made me appreciate the ead10 a lot. Will recommend that to some of my students. Also dig your playing! Greeeeeaaaaaaat!
Fun fact: apparently El Estepario Siberiano uses the same mic. this sounds crisp as fr*ck in every style, hard hits, quiet hits... if I ever get in a band i will buy this on behalf of my drummer for that *tasty* audio.
This works great for drum tutorials for TH-cam but in a studio your still going to want a nice set of drum mics so you can adjust each piece of the drums in the mix. Good video man
Tons of people are DMing for the cable to connect to the computer and the motherboard (module). What you need is a midi cable that connects to USB. It should already come with the EAD10. If not, they’re pretty cheap on Amazon. Stay safe!
Bro we need to hang and talk shit.
500 bucks might just substitute for my lack of audio engineering knowledge
Have you ever played with this in a live setting?
This guy shows exactly which cable and adapter you need 👍🏻👌🏻
th-cam.com/video/xkWRhKlIU0w/w-d-xo.html
One question ma bro may sound stupid, but can you hear the drums through the microphone with the effects on etc through the headphones?
Oh holy shit I get it now. It's not that I don't have the proper mic setup. It's just that I suck at drums.
hi charles!
Oh lmao charles XD
no its just that you don't have enough toms and cymbals

Zack , you have no Idea how much I love ya rn
Simple guy but articulate drummer! Bravo!
I can’t thank you enough for this video! Just bought one and I absolutely love it!
eyyyy yoooo. perfect timing!
I already knew that I wanted to get the ead10. But seeing the whole mixing process at the end really solidified the fact that I want one.
Wow that’s a cool little mic. That and a pair of stereo room mics would be a killer setup.
That's because the EAD 10 is awesome
i have an electric kit and i won’t have an acoustic kit for years but i love this video anyways. sick tutorial
I am improving with every video you upload, thanks a lot!
Love the fact he removed the reverb from the EAD but added it again in GarageBand.
Because he EQ's in GB, it's damn near impossible to EQ the drums how you want without adversely affecting your reverb.
2 years late. But to add for those of you who have to use mesh heads and low volume cymbals on your acustic kit/home kit: you can use this for practice. It’s awsome. I would advice getting at least a trigger for your snare in addition. Yamaha has ready made firmware on their site especially tuned for this setup. The EAD10 is worth its weight in gold imo.
Edit: I use Yamaha DTS50 triggers for all my drums on my silent practice kit. But it’s not really needed for practice and expensive. Another tip if you use mesh heads is using a little duct tape on the heads to get a more real response(it lessens the heads ability to stretch/contract) and gives a bit more sound(keeps a bit more air in the drums after a stroke).
Thanks Zack! Sooo helpful
Very nice, sir. I'm always looking for new ways to mic things. Never knew about this mic. Yamaha should send you more, or a check at least, cause I'm sure you just sold a few. I know I'm going to buy one.
Man... soooo Good! I have a good setup myself, but this really made me appreciate the ead10 a lot. Will recommend that to some of my students. Also dig your playing! Greeeeeaaaaaaat!
In argentina to buy a $500 mic we have to sell our kidney :'''''v
lol
The trick is to sell someone else's
Tan cierto que duele.
Excellent mate! Thanks for all the info.
Thank you dude. This is the review/ instructional video I was looking for with this setup. Simple and easy explanation
Fun fact: apparently El Estepario Siberiano uses the same mic. this sounds crisp as fr*ck in every style, hard hits, quiet hits... if I ever get in a band i will buy this on behalf of my drummer for that *tasty* audio.
I've been eyeing this so long. I think it's time
Bro I love watching you I started a drumming channel and my biggest inspiration is you💪🏼
You sound great bud! Reminds me of my days as a beginner
WASSUP BRO, SOUNDING GREAT AS ALWAYS!🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥💯😎🥁🥁🥁🥁
This is absolutely amazing! Great video!
This works great for drum tutorials for TH-cam but in a studio your still going to want a nice set of drum mics so you can adjust each piece of the drums in the mix. Good video man
Thnx for the suggestion
