I bought this when it first came out yrs back..I still use it for my drum videos and it still works killer..these are built to last,and super stoked I spent money on this…so worth it
I've been using mine, which I bought very early, and still enjoy it. This is a great video because it highlights the pluses AND the minuses. One item I did run into while using it as a practice tool with mesh heads and triggers. If you have a technical issue, as I did, the best Yamaha does it refer you to a local repair service. In my case this turned out to be quite inadequate as they knew nothing about the unit. I spent a not insubstantial amount of money and the problem was not fixed. I'm not sure what I'd recommend. Perhaps a Yamaha facility where a person could send the unit and have the problem diagnosed and repaired.
“For live, not so much…” Why? I’ve used an EAD live for years with great results. Works especially well with bands that use in ear monitoring. I do like to add a kick mic so FOH can isolate the bass drum into the subs. The EAD kick trigger is the weak link, IMO. A designated bass trigger that attaches to the head would yield more consistent results.
For in ear monitoring, yes it works great for drummers bringing that on their own, but I've never seen FOH engineers using the EAD10 in clubs or theaters instead of traditional mics. And in even smaller rooms, you don't even need to mic the cymbals, so I don't see the point of capturing the whole kit. Just kick, snare, toms, all you need.
@@NickCesarzDrums You should look harder 😂. It’s not just great for monitoring the drums, but wedges bleed into the EAD mics. Eliminate the wedges and all is fine. I know of many drummers who use them in clubs and bars. I’m one of them!
The trigger inputs support 3 zone Yamaha TP70S trigger pads or you can use a splitter and run 2 single zone pads off of each trigger input! Also, the mic is a stereo pair providing some separation of left and right channels when listening or recording. The EAD10 is a one of a kind, all-in-one unit for practicing, recording and live performance. Not the greatest results for every situation, but pretty damn good for most and it's relatively inexpensive and super easy to use! I've had mine since 2018, use it everyday and love it!
Thanks for sharing all the great info! I just got one that was bundled with an additional Yamaha DT50S snare trigger and I’ve been loving it. I’ve been amazed at how much fun it’s been just playing around with some of the presents - I haven’t even tried recording or dialing in any sounds yet, I’ve been having too much fun just trying it out. Haha it’ll be fun learning all it can do.
@@scipiomexicanus2068 the extra trigger isn’t essential but it has been nice to have for the independent control it gives you over the reverb, volume, and intensity of the triggered snare sound. It also noticed it gives you the possibility of having two different triggered snare sounds based on if you hit the drum head or the rim. That was cool to realize. I got the extra trigger and mount as part of a bundled deal that was on sale at DCP - so I couldn’t pass it up. It’s been incredibly fun and inspiring so far!
I just got one this passed week. Have a couple of videos up with it. Overall im digging this product A TON. The Rec n Share app is not great to say the least however . Great video reviewing it dude.🤙🏽
It has a bass trigger and 2 (two) condenser mics. I bought 2 more triggers for the snare and the floor tom, but with some tweaking I find I don't need either one. For larger gigs I add a traditional kick mic and maybe a snare mic so the sound man can adjust for the front of the house.
Love my EAD10! Got a sick score on a used unit a couple of years back for around $200. Had no idea about the Yamaha app though. Definitely gonna check that out
Alright, Ima throw something out there as a wild guess (And I may be totally wrong). Your Tom setup you've got there is inspired by Roy Mayorga. Am I Right??? lol
get some locktite for that rubber piece it will never come off again . ill be doin that when i purchase mine after watching this video , great stuff :D
Youve got a nasty pocket, man. In a good way. and i mean "pocket" in the funk sense, ie you push that backbeat snare hit back and its got it feeling nice.
You'll be able to hear them a bit, just as you would if you used overhead mics. It's not terribly audible, but you can hear the rest of the band. If they're not loud enough you may need to use an external mixer along with the aux in on the EAD10
@@NickCesarzDrums I’m assuming you can hook it up to your practice space mixer as well? We’ve got an X-Air 18 and I’ve got both guitars and bass mic’d up.. I just don’t use drum kicks because the space is smaller. It would be nice to hear the Tom’s ha
I need some help. You mentioned this needing the correct adapter to split the 2 model signals to the auxiliary port. Can you elaborate on that? I want to practice with my band with in ear system and we use a mixer. But want to figure out the logistics with using the module. It will help us out tremendously if we can make it work, thanks
The auxiliary port is 3.5mm connector, so you’ll need something like this if you’re coming from 2 mono signals: amzn.to/4aFyYFU Just depends on your setup, can you elaborate?
Can you connect another device (tablet, phone) in the Aux In to hear songs while playing? Like for trying to record covers withouth having to edit them later...
@@NickCesarzDrums Hello guys! Does the module/motherboard record the song you are listening on your extern device(phone, table, computer) while covering the song and recording the drum part with the ead? In fact, i just wanted to know if i can listen a song on spotify while recording the drum and will i have it (the backing song) recorded with the ead or will i only have/ear the drum part in the recording? Thanks a lot and thanks for this useful video! Cheers from France.
Estepario is nothing without the ead10. You just cant get that type of compression and sound for all the stuff he does which if he micd it, wouldnt make him look as good clean or as he sounds. Truth is, his one handed rolls, and alot of tricks he does like the gravity blasts, would sound like shlt the way he plays them. He can only sound as good as he does, with the ead10. Its that guys crutch. He did some vids with drumeo that where actually micd, and it just sounded different
