Thank you for posting the EAD10 videos. Been looking for something like this for a long time. This is the best informative video I have found. I set up my kit with mesh heads and followed your settings. Works great. I also added some samples which also opened up many options.

Kenny, you have saved my life bro! Damn, you are SO my hero right now!!! I was incredibly frustrated with my EAD10, I just could NOT get the damn thing to trigger decently. I thought it might be the Roland triggers I was using and was going to spend yet another couple of hundred on Yamaha triggers and see if that was the problem. Well, it turns out I was the problem, or at least me, the shitty kick trigger in the unit (20" kick with Silent Stroke head) and Yamaha's pathetic lack of usable information on dialing this thing in. It should seriously be you demoing this thing for Yamaha, you're literally the ONLY person who has made it make sense while using triggers and silent heads/cymbals. Where does Yamaha tell you not to trigger with a mesh kick head? Nowhere! I put my Roland trigger on and now it tracks PERFECTLY! I am so damn psyched, I spent months frustrated with that f'ing kick trigger! Same with all the other triggers, too. I just used your suggestions to get started, dialed in a couple of setting for my individual situation...now it is PERFECT!!!!

Just looked at your RTOM LV mesh heads demo on the RTOM channel, the part at 5:20 where you play the kit with real cymbals, are we hearing the Snare, Toms, Kick & cymbals through the EAD-10 or are the external mics doing the work?
First of all thank you for watching. 2nd if you mean the part where its real cyms, and snare, but erething else is mesh head? Then yes I have a top snare mic, and a single OH as well picking up the snare, and cyms, but generally the EAD10 does quite well on it's own.
Absolutely my pleasure. I hope the information helps you make your system rock. Please note as I’m telling everyone Super Thanks is now available to tip for the tips.
Thank you for video! Can you give some recomendation and help, how i can using EAD 10 in live church gig with Ddrum Pro triggers and regular heads to get Worship type, fat sound.. interesting for parameters.. Do you try EAD live, with regular heads installed? Thank you
Thank you so much for the kind words, and for watching. Yes this unit works well live. I use it as a personal monitoring system, or as a trigger only output. In live settings it can be a challenge using the mic, but it is completely doable. If you need help delving deeper into the process I offer online programming lessons at www.kennysharretts.com please feel free to reach out 🙏
Kenny... oh man, another quality vid... Just love the channel, and the vibe y'all. I have a Pearl Rhythm Traveller 'Pod Kit' that shipped with both batter & mesh heads. Love the kit. Compact with surprising tuning range. Any 'sage' tech tips on getting this kit rigged right with triggers, settings, etc like this Questlove setup video demo? Like in the States, all my gigs up here in Western Canada are stuffed... so it's "woodsheddin" time for me! The Pearl kit ships as a 5-pc (6&8 rak toms) 16" kik.. but I have it configured as a 4-pc (6"rak removed), but thinking I may add it back in to trigger different digital kit setups? Whatdaya think??
That sounds like it's going to be a fun kit to play. I'd start with these settings, and extrapolate from there as the drum deems fit. LOL The drum will tell you what it wants. LOL! But seriously start with these settings to get you in the ball park. Each drum is it's own beast so fine tuning may be needed. Thanks for the kind words, and for watching.
The kick trigger on my ead10 does not work on mesh head even if updated. It works good with normal batter head so I have to find the solution for the mesh. Any suggestion?
Tomas Berto Yamaha actually reaches out to me about this matter. Alas on any drum bigger than a 16” the EAD10 trigger is not designed for mesh head use. They recommended, and I successfully tested using a DT50K trigger on the mesh heads larger than 16”. Worked great! Here’s a demo on my 16” ruclips.net/video/0lAAUz30S4U/видео.html
@@KennySharretts thank you for your answer! So the only two ways for fix the problem are use a 16" meshed bass drum with the original ead10 inner trigger or use a secondary trigger on my 22". Is that right? Any other solution?
rockdrummer80 in a sense yes. The EAD 10 is a brain with triggering inputs/samples, and a stereo mic with a built in trigger that attaches to the bass drum. All the audio you hear is coming from the EAD 10 or my lapel mic. Thank you for watching 🤘🏻
Thank you. I tried to make it useful. I believe the curve settings are in the video, but in general I go with Normal for all, or occasionally Loud 1 on the toms. Sometimes I will use Loud?1 on the snare trigger live if the room is open.
Hey Kenny! Me again haha. OK so I am using this slightly differently to you. I have an acoustic set up with the triggers in order to run Steven Slate 5 as midi whilst recording. I am having trouble with latency as the audio and midi are flamming, and also the triggers are double triggering and the midi notes are long in Logic. All a bit of a mess atm! Any help would be amazing!
Beserker Barrage I simply unplugged the cable that plugs into the mic/trigger unit that controls the mic/trigger unit trigger. Then plugged that into the trigger. You can, however, plug it into the second BD input. Thank you for watching.
Raccoon Lim It’s a Gibraltar GEMS stand with a second Gibraltar Rack clamp, a small bar of tubing I cut to fit, and added two GEMS arms. For gigs it holds my laptop, interface, and hard drive. Awesome stand. Thank you for watching, and for the kind words.
Hey Kenny, how are you? First of all, congratulations and thanks for all great content! Let me ask, do you know if the EAD10 works as a regular bass drum trigger? Cause my band will record new singles with all mic kit in a studio, and we always like to capture the bass drum in a trigger, to use some kick samples in a sound replacer, but i don´t know if this is possible, or with EAD10 only the bass drum it will be capture on the mic...and we only can use your trigger to add some wav together with the full kit that it will be captured. Thanks for your attention! Cheers
Absolutely you can use it as a trigger only. The best way is to connect the usb out to your computer, and select it as a midi source. Then record the midi notes. Boom done! 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻 it’s easy, and awesome.
Quick question I’m going to get a Yamaha EAD10 next week for my personal practice now I play drums in church in a Cage if you know what I mean lol do you think I can use there as well??? I can’t wait to try the Yamaha EAD10
Hi Pedro. I could have sworn I replied to this, but I see no reply soooo 🤣🤣🤣 Awesome! You will love the EAD10. I do know what you mean about the church fishbowl. No harm in trying it out. It may work, but you may also experience some reflective feedback from the drum shield. That can be handled via gain, and EQ settings. Thank you so much for watching
@@KennySharretts We are thinking about going low volume cymbals and heads for church so we can actually remove the drum shield. Do you think this setup you used will work for that application? One of my concerns is the EAD10 may pick up a lot of stage noise since the gain I’m sure is pretty high on it in order to pick up the low volume cymbals. We do not have any amps on the stage (besides a studio monitor acting as a keyboard amp), but the house speakers are fairly loud up on stage. Thanks!
Carlos Mayo Lol alas on my setup has the dtx pad so I split the snare into 3/4 snare/pad. It did not work well on dual triggering in my first attempts. I will work on that for us.
@@DriveVibeAuto If you mean Electronic cymbal pads then yes. There are only 6 possible trigger input options. The mics will pick up your whole kit so if you mean real cymbals then it probably will capture them all.
No worries. Thank you so much for watching my vids. Please note that Super Thanks is now available on my vids to tip for the tips. 🙏🤗 As far as accessing those settings go to menu_trigger_pad type Make sure you are editing the right trigger by seeing which one is chosen on the screen, then use arrow down to scroll through all the options. Remember to set your triggers BEFORE you set your cross talk. Hope this helps my friend.
Thomas Colello it’s all a matter of taste, and need. I actually love all three. I simply wanted to do a video on all three options to help anyone create a kit like this during this time of Staying At Home. The pads vid I did because I had a broken ankle, wanted to practice, but didn’t want to drive my wife nuts. Lol! She works from home. 🤣 It’s what I was using/had at the time. Love my sound off mutes. I saw the black holes at NAMM, & fell in love with them so I had to try them. I had already gotten a set of mesh heads to do the video, so I figured do vids on both so as to help those with Black Holes, and those with mesh heads. 🤗🤗🤗 I still use a combination of ALL of them when needed lllolol!! Thank you so much for watching.
Absolutely. Any triggers will work with this system. They may require adjustments to the settings in this video, but once programmed, they should work well. Thank you for commenting, and watching. 🤘🏻
THANK YOU FOR THE KIND WORDS. If you watch the two walkthrough videos I did for the R-Tom Black Hole Version of this trigger kit you will learn where, and how to set the settings. Then simply use the settings from this video. Here's a link. ruclips.net/video/PLyePwiAGJg/видео.html
Hi! I have a question master , My triggers begin to combine, when I am playing, for example the trigger and the sound that I use for the tom, are passed to the kick trigger, then when I hit the kick the kick sounds along with the tom sound, could you help me? why does that happen? thank you very much master , I use Yamaha ead 10 with triggers for all my drum
It’s usually a blend of crosstalk control being too loose , as well as sensitivity being too high. You can also adjust mask time for a bit more control. Checkout my video on the black hole triggers. It has a huge tutorial middle to end
The trigger setting can be split in the settings menu. This allows you to “split” the Head/Rim trigger signal into two inputs via a trs male to dual mono female Y- Cable. Thank you so much for watching. 🥁
Hiii! 2 questions. How did you use 5 triggers? Did you use the both split of snare input? And second, i see you play the kick with trigger, its not good the bass drum trigger? I try to play with this but i use only the microphones. Thanks!!!!
Yes I split the snare input. You can split the BD input as well. I used a trigger on this vid as it’s a different set of settings than using the EAD10 trigger in the first vid. That being said the EAD10 trigger is so so on larger diameter mesh heads so I did one with a trigger. Thx for watching 🤘🏻
