- Yamaha sent me the EAD10 and DT50S and wanted to see how I could use it. I often get asked about cheap and easy ways to record drums for those starting out. Ill be the first to say that this is a GREAT tool for doing exactly that! How would you use it?

If you don’t already, you might as well endorse Meinl
Ps. You’re awesome
Nice video dudw
Your mics sound better in other vids but they sound really crap and ur drums when u put the mic on a really big comparison to the mics u used now to before...
Thanks man! Always awesome to watch your videos!
Five drums? Four cymbals? Easy there Bozzio.
Player lolll
*Easy there Bozzio.* That's a new one.
Easy there Bozzio.
Nice.
lol! What till you see my current setup! No apologies!!
Trevian Harrell smh, Dave's going bozzio on us
Who else would love to see a standalone version of the mic that attaches to the bass drum, so that you could record that directly into a computer, so people can still use it to record without the need of the expensive controller?
I know I'm kinda late but you can use Zoom H series as a stereo mic. H4n has a stereo mic and 2 xlr combo input if you want to connect more cables. You can connect to your pc via Usb cable and use it as and audio inteface. And it's half the price of an EAD.
@@Slay-Man Thank you 🙏🏼
Turn a bass drum into a big snare drum
Late to the party here, but am I the only one who actually preffered the EAD10 audio over the standard mics? I'm admittedly a bit of a minimalist, old-school dude, but the drums just sounded so much more alive to me. I like the fact that this thing will kinda make you work to actually tune your drums, which is a lost art these days.
every video I seen on this I was like, "what about IN A MIX" and you sir are the only one to answer that question so far
i could honestly watch you play drums all day, you inspire me to learn more and actually improve
I recommend blending it with your mic setup. The EAD has a great mid range punchiness and dirt to it, compared to the clean sound you are getting from your mics. Blending the EAD signal in with your mic setup would give a thicker sound overall and I know that's how I would use it.
There's no phase/latency issue if you blend with live microphones?
@@konradkarolczyk9138All mics that are a different distance from the source will always have a different phase. This may not always be a problem but in this case you should probably time align the mics with delay. If you are working in post you can time align the drums acording to the close mics. If working live you obviously can't add negative delay so just delay everything to the farthest away source (room/overhead). In most cases you shouldn't time align the rooms, because it's there for the ambance and ads mostly nice phasines but you can experiment with this.
Best demo of this unit that I've seen so far.
Mic audio seems like it could have been better.....
Miles Schmidt yeah, it’s not really a fair comparison
@Vincenzo The mic sound was HUGELY processed in the first song. So why not process the sounds in same style in the EAD?
The mic sound isn't the same in both songs, therefore it isn't the mics raw sound what we just heard. I think it's quite strange. :/
Vincenzo Nigro lol 😂
It seem like more compressed sound with the mic
He must've not mixed the mic audio on purpose.
Great video mate! When I initially found this product I didnt fully understand what it could do at first as there was no real decent videos explaining it. This one is hands down the best out there! Great comparison between the different mics too!
I personally love the look of what the EAD-10 can do, great for anyone after a simple, low cost drum mic set up.
I tried it myself, its pretty decent if you're recording for a demo or a pre-prod. For metal drummers out there, the trigger sucks for double bass. Altough, u can plug an extra one for the bass drum and mix it with the ead 10 trigger and it works perfectly !
What trigger do you use? Do you need the controller aswell or just the trigger
Pretty cool demo! Can't wait to see what you do with it!
Im sold on this. Your Sample selections sound spot on, to me, Dave.
Great vid man. Probably the best one I've seen on the EAD. 👍
Simply Great Video ! It was fun watching. Your playing along was also real good.... I liked everything you did.. you are good not just a duffer drummer.. You have a lot of good moves. Your selection of effects on each part was real good too.. Thank you !
Homie thank you so much for this!! You answered every question I had. Really appreciate you!!
Truly the best of both worlds.
Loved you "Tight" preset as well as the video contents. Congrats!
First hit of bass drum on the second song during guitar intro and I’m sold! This is exactly what I was hoping you could get out of the EAD.
I do really dig the mic audio sound, a snare tuned like that doesn't always work in heavier mixes but it sounds great in both tracks.
Really digging the all-meinl cymbals, man! Keep up the good work.
Seems like an okay option. I prefer the real audio from the actual kit over any of the EAD stuff I've heard though, but appreciate this video brother!
That seems like a fantastic product! 10/10!
loved to finally hear you play some more rock
Very cool device. I don't think I've seen any hardware that explicitly combines electronic and acoustic signals before, but obviously studio engineers have been doing that on drums for decades so it's about time we caught up. It seems like it'd be a good for gigs where bringing a ton of extra mics and cables and stands is a pain and you can't always get your placements dialed in. The cymbal sounds are noticeably less bright because of the placement of the mics, so maybe just pairing it with a mono or stereo overhead would get you the best of both worlds if you filter out the lows/mids to avoid phasing issues. Might even be good to have 2 XLR jacks on the EAD so you could blend the signals.
This would be sick if only it didn’t cost more than my kit lol
Phipps and your kit costs?
And if the brain was built into the bd trigger part.
Get used for around 400. Still really good and can find barely used.
Good job on this demo vid u explain stuff really well
This is amazing. I’ve had triggers. It was a pain removing them, and running cables. It was worse than mics.
Loving your sound! Would love to see a video on your take on mixing room mics with close mics!
Dude you cymbals sound sooo good
Cool effects! Sweet piece of equipment.
Logged on for a product review but it's mainly about what YOU like about it and YOUR beats that you saved.
I really like Space Banana sound!
A fun video would be playing normal songs with the crazy scenes! Also that tight scene was amazing sounding. Sounded like something from Yes. Keep it up.
this looks awesome!!
Switching between the EAD and the mics was actually a pretty cool effect.
very usefull the EAD but so far i like the drum mics more, keep up the good work :)
Hey man, I’ve been watching your videos for a while and I really love the content! I am pretty new to the whole acoustic drum set thing and was wondering if you could do a video on how exactly you tune your drums. I’ve watched numerous people but I can’t find anyone who has drums tuned as nice as yours are. It would be much appreciated!
I picked up one of these when it first came out. I really wanted to use it like an effects pedal for drums. It was fun to mess around with, but a pain in the butt in a live setting. It caused feedback and sound engineers couldn't figure out how to mix it. If I wanted to use it to run triggers... that is another $200-300. Now I am in $800 or more... I might as well find a used Roland kit for that cost. I ended up returning it.
Definitely think I should get one of these for my hybrid drum kit. This with My Ludwig break beats kit and strike multipad would be a killer combination, the Sweetwater demo video also shows EAD as a channel in your daw. I think I’m going to try and find a used unit and pick
One up
What happened to the Stave snare build?
I'm sold. That's a badass unit, would fit right at home in a home recording studio environment
and/or a band rehearsal space.
I like its features... I'm a huge fan of Compression in the drum mix, and this unit has it.
I'm also a huge fan of the incredible Yamaha RX5 drum machine, and this unit has that sound!
Reverbs, and a mad gang of effects galore... this unit has all that, And TRIGGERS!
If you put that EAD10 in front of me you'd have to put a gun to my head to pry me away from the
traditional Mic recording standards to get me to use the EAD10 instead; because I'm always learning about
studio mic recording methods, and along comes this EAD10 to make me wanna forget everything I've been
learning about drum mic setups and recording, and so forth.
Would I buy the EAD10? Yes. It makes life easier setting up to record drum play-throughs for RUclips
and instructional videos to share with fans and friends... And, the EAD10 is great for recording the drums
to your smartphone or iPad. High Fives!
Great product demo
Finally! a video!
I think EAD is worth if you want to record on a budget, and if you need some triggers for your metal band.
Two uses in one. The fact that they also make the app with IOS that can sync music and video automatically, also loop sections of the songs,slow down or make the song audio faster without effecting the pitch of the song. I think YAMAHA have built a great products for multiple use. I'm save up and buy it.
3 toms. hey you finally became one of us. but what I suggest if you like having your rise above you bass drums like in a four piece but have 3 toms you should move yiur toms to in front of your snare. it's what i do.
Have you been practicing more? you sound way more groovy in this video
I wish more content could be made showing the EAD blended with a room mic or overheads, with the EAD being treated as a set of close mics
that fill at 9:55 was great :D good video too
Really well done Brother.I'm betting Roland won't let this go unchallenged.I'm frustrated using a 57 and Audix D6 into my Tascam Lo-Fi portastudio.The Yamaha looks so much simpler.
I liked the EAD for the first track and the straight mic audio for the second track.
Them cymbals sound sick!
sweet vid dude
I think these are fun and indeed a professional tool; I predict we'll be seeing a bunch of these on the resale market in about 4-6 months. If you want a great practice tool; play 2 up toms (thus your ride is already higher and to the right); have quality isolated earphones; and don't really expect (or desire) to take this to live shows - then you will really find this product amazing. A++; If you don't use that extra tom and have to (weirdly) move your ride cymbal over (the score will drop to a B+). Don't have great headphones (C+). Really think it will work amazingly live w/o additional mics (C) or find that it is hard to get band and drums in your live mix because there isn't an Aux IN then (C- or D+).
This is so cool
You can see the nostalgia in daves face during the second song 🤙🏼😂
Great vid. Thanks!!
💚💚Genial mi bro!!
Got mine now! It's a must have for any Drummer!
🖖🏻🇫🇷😎🇫🇷😎🇫🇷🖖🏻
Serious question: I see there are multiple settings of what snare or kick sound to choose from. What if you want the sound of your snare and kick? How reliable is it at capturing that?
Pretty sick!
That "Tight" preset you made sounds like it would be really good to make the drums cut through in a mix. Kinda reminds me of how Tame Impala drums are mixed.
New kit life? Love your 2nd custom setting, reminds me of Kraftwerk/AfricaBambata
never thought id see David playing a 5 piece
Very helpful video.. Thank you
Nice lead in to the track!
Hi, I connected my EAD10 to a PA system and everything is working unless the “metronome “ sound. I can’t hear it. I would like to know if the metronome sound is only available for the headset or both headset and PA.
I want to make sure if I did everything right before I contact YAMAHA. Thanks
Lol that would be fun to play with and drumming would never get old.
I know right!
Andrei Vaughn your right
Drumming doesnt get old in the first place
Sounds good
You should do diy double single pedal (like Duallist) !:D
Now does this work for players using 2 kick drums? Or do I need another EAD trigger on that 2nd one?
Please record with both and mix the two audio feeds. I wanna hear it!
I've never seen Dave so hardcore... His drum set is huuuuuge!
Great video
Super sound !!! :-)
I would TOTALLY buy that! Amazing piece of hardware
My wife won this from Sweetwater drumfest, she can't wait to use it on her kit
Can see this being useful in a live context. Record samples of your kick and snare at home with a decent mic, then use the ead to trigger the samples live. Cut down on the channels needed in the desk, do your own mixing.
I got one coming tomorow...
I really dig the Mic Audio.
Great video (like always). Can you put sand or beads inside of a drum and see what it sounds like ? I can’t try it myself cuz I have an electronic set and I can’t find any videos online
Do a separate video for the phone app! This is pretty dope.
When you use the EAD, how much more did you have to EQ your playing? Like were you careful not to play the bass too hard, or did you just play normally?
Loving the new Byzance-s
dude that last sound was pretty bad ass had a early foo fighters sound
Will the mic continue to pickup sound from the kit if the entire kit is triggered? Also how viable do you think this would be to record a silent practicing kit, i.e. (Remo silent strokes and Zildjian l80's or Sabian quiet tones)?
Thank you!
I'd like to see that video about the app and also if could demonstrates more presets. You only get 2 or 3 watching demos and to me that not enough. I hope i'll be king enough to do it :)
Hi, how will the module behave when playing with the group? During a live performance or rehearsal? There is no information on the Internet.
Someone is looking for a Meinl endorsement.
Dat set up doe 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Great video!
But I didn’t get one thing - does EAD capture cymbals or you still need overheads?
It seems more like an effects rack for drums. I think this might be cool if it came with pads to mute your drums. One of the reasons why one might want an electronic kit is so they can play it without being too loud.
The best trigger system ever
And what does it do in a live situation with a band? Does the mic get influenced by the sounds/vibrations of all the other instruments around it, like bass for example? Hope you have experience with that you can share. Tnx!
hello I would like to ask you as the owner of both the 10 and a spd sx roland, how can I make the two control units communicate and hear everything from the output of the ead being able to record everything like this with just the ead?
Just got mine but the volume on my recordings is low. What levels do you have in you mic unit. And how loud do you have the volume set at?
My second comment here, but I do use the EAD pretty often. I find the headphone out gives really - really great sounds to my IEMs where as the L/Mono out... not so much. I feel like the Headphone out is studio sounding and the L/mono out is way more ambient noise from the room. Maybe that is just me.
Since the device microphone seems to recognize separate elements is it possible to import this as MIDI into a DAW?
