I use a kick mic and don’t use the kick trigger, I run the mixer for the band and use my IEM from the mix out buss on my QSC TouchMix 16, I always get good compliments on how good my drums sound, Great unit to have with many uses.
Yo Loaner! That's hilarious that you wound up here. You must be thinking about picking up an EAD10? Miss ya too...we should get together next time I come through your area.
I was looking into how this might work for small gigs where I typically just mic the kick. This video popped up, so I just clicked it and thought, "Wait.... Dustin?!" Hope you're well bud!
So far I've only used it to record. In the future I plan on using it for on-stage monitoring, and potentially to mic the kit (should the situation arise where it's needed). Hope you enjoyed the video!
Did you have trouble with the stage volume being captured and processed thru the ead? That was one issue I had. The guitarist had his stage amp too loud and it was capturing it and other sounds outside of the drums. It was like having an overhead mic capturing everything instead of just the drums. Have you experienced this?
Eric S This video shows the most bleed I’ve experienced with the EAD10. I don’t play in many situations with incredibly loud, shredding guitars, but certainly if you put a very loud source near the drum kit, it will pick it up as if it were another piece of the kit and increase the bleed.
Do you think this would work properly in a small stage with a loud band playing mostly rock? With loud tube amps. I´m interested both for recording live and for mic monitoring/FOH solution.
Diego Scheid As far as recording, depends on what your goal is. There will certainly be more bleed than there is in my video. If you want isolated drums, this won’t work, but if you just want to capture the drums for clarity and presence to blend them with another recording, this may work. For monitoring yourself I would say this will work, but for routing to others, especially FOH, my guess would be this will not give enough of an isolated drum sound (even with the new gate option in the firmware 2.0).
I have an EAD10 that I find really useful for practicing with a band when all members have in ear monitors. That way everybody can have some mic'd drum sound in their ears instead of just the muffled drum sound that's bleeds through. It sounds way better and makes practice more fun. I also use it for gigs in conjunction with traditional drum mics. I have a separate "scene" saved with the EAD mics essentially turned off so that I can just send the signal from my triggers on my snare and kick and the sound guy blends that with the house mic'd sound. Super easy and sounds awesome. Also useful to chuck a tambo sound on the snare trigger to layer over the snare sound.
@@AlanOchieng I have never tried it in a venue that size. The triggers would for sure work but I don't know if the mic'd sound from the EAD would be as good as a full multiple mic set up. Probably not as good but I'm sure in a pinch it'd work.
@@AlanOchieng The EAD10 will never be a better solution (regarding sound quality) than a traditional microphone setup. It's meant to be a personal tool for rehearsal & medicore sound capture (i.e. for quick, easy recording, streaming, etc.) That said, they are great devices...just not compared to pro micing with a house engineer.
I did use a preset (can't recall which one...but in any I use, I turn the reverb & trigger settings all the way down). I just try to get the most raw capture as possible, just as if it were any other set of mics.
Can i put the ead10 into a PA and use that sound for live drums too? When i try to put it into my speaker i get insane feedback do you know how i can do that ? Solid vid too btw
I haven't done this a lot, although it is possible. Make sure you have the EAD updated to the v2 firmware, which features a noise gate which will helpful with limiting the bleed/feedback. Thx for the compliment!
Thanks for posting this. The snare and bass drum sound very clean, but the cymbals are faint in comparison. Is it possible/easy to fix that in the final mix?
Hey Richie. Unfortunately I'm not an experienced producer and can't give you much post-recording advice, but I do know that you can punctuate highs (in this case) with EQ to a degree. However, it's safe to assume that what is captured by the EAD10 is a flat recording that can't be manipulated much at all...hence the existence of much more intricate multi-mic setups in professional recordings. See what you can do with EQ...best of luck!
Hi bro I presume if I'm using rec n share or plugged in using headphones, recording songs with my band it's going to pick the band sound instruments together?
Yes, as the mics in the system are condenser mics, your band sound will be captured by the mics. You will not have control over this since it's the nature of the product, but you can mess with the gate function in the latest firmware update.
Yes, as you can hear from the video audio, other instruments are picked up other than drums. How much, of course, depends on how close you are to them and the environment.
Technically yes, that’s possible, but only advisable if you have a high amount of isolation from other instruments or are in a low-volume environment (like a coffee house gig). In this situation, everything you’re hearing would have been sent to the mixer, so any effects added would also be added to the bleed-in of the rest of the band.

Agreed! In recent years I've run into many sound techs using these on casual gigs. It works for its own application!
Any way you can share your settings mic gain volume level etc thanks
Doing what a drummer does. Solid man. Best Regards.
Appreciate it, Hanover!
I searched for the ead and found your youtube... Miss ya man! Hope all is well. You sound great and look sexy smooth as always!
Yo Loaner! That's hilarious that you wound up here. You must be thinking about picking up an EAD10? Miss ya too...we should get together next time I come through your area.
excelent work men !!! yeahh
Thank you Nicolás!

Hope you're well bud!
Yo Barry! I highly recommend it for simple, casual gigs. Call me & we can talk nuts & bolts. ✌🏻
Dustin, thanks for sharing your expirience, but how do you usually use it, only as the recorder, or also as the main mic for the kit at the gigs?
So far I've only used it to record. In the future I plan on using it for on-stage monitoring, and potentially to mic the kit (should the situation arise where it's needed). Hope you enjoyed the video!
@@DustinKoester sure, you folks played it with accuracy, very nice!

@@samr9736 Hey, would you recommend it in a medium sized venue (1,000 ppl) over traditional mics?

Did you use one of the presets or make your own? Sounds great btw, just got my EAD this week and love it!
I did use a preset (can't recall which one...but in any I use, I turn the reverb & trigger settings all the way down). I just try to get the most raw capture as possible, just as if it were any other set of mics.
I did a little of both and tweaked presets too .
Did you use any other mics or just the EAD alone? Sounds good.
This is only audio from the EAD. No other audio sources.
Can i put the ead10 into a PA and use that sound for live drums too? When i try to put it into my speaker i get insane feedback do you know how i can do that ? Solid vid too btw

For recording, throw up a pair of overheads, for live, the singers mics will pick up cymbals.

@@DustinKoester thanks
Hi there I always mic my kick drum , can I use this as well?
As well.
Hello is this product good for making drum covers?
Carl Jared Absolutely. The Yamaha Rec N Share app is really helpful in producing your own videos with backing tracks.
@@DustinKoester what is your favorite preset on the module??
How to route to sub woofers?mine seems only getting out to the FOH
I’d ask your sound engineer about that. What you do with your stereo feed after it leaves the EAD is up to you!
Do any of the instrument bleed to the mic on the ead10
Yes, as you can hear from the video audio, other instruments are picked up other than drums. How much, of course, depends on how close you are to them and the environment.
Is it possible to to use EAD instead of drums mics and connecting to the mixer during the live gig?
Technically yes, that’s possible, but only advisable if you have a high amount of isolation from other instruments or are in a low-volume environment (like a coffee house gig). In this situation, everything you’re hearing would have been sent to the mixer, so any effects added would also be added to the bleed-in of the rest of the band.
Can you connect the EAD to a mixer ?
Yes, you can...either mono via 1/4” connection or stereo via 2.
What is this?
I wish the cymbals could be heard more on EAD10 live. Your crash is non existent. I'll return the one I just bought.
Ya, depending on your setup, certain pieces can be harder to hear than others. The farther the thing is from the mic, the less you hear the thing.
