The Yamaha EAD10 is a revolutionary new way to mic, record, and share drum performances with the world. In mere seconds, capture a drum kit just as you hear it in the room, or access hundreds of scenes (presets) with hi-res digital samples and FX. Once you've got sounds dialed in, sharing is easy. Dual 1/4" outputs route the stereo drum mix to any standard interface for fuss-free pickup. USB and aux inputs let you jam along to music on your phone or flash drive, saving the mixed song and performance to the internal hard drive or a connected laptop. You can even use the free Yamaha Rec'n'Share app to sync video from your phone and audio from the EAD10 for picture-perfect drum covers that are ready to share.
The two-in-one kick sensor/stereo microphone system mounts quickly to the batter-side hoop of your bass drum to capture kick, snare, toms and cymbals just as you hear them in the room. Add a snare trigger like the Yamaha DT50S (not included) for even greater versatility. Once installed, use the EAD10 module to browse 50 preset scenes, 757 sounds, and 36 digital effects and blend to taste. With 200 user preset scenes, you can easily map out a custom kit for every song in your set.
Just ask our friend Casey Cooper (COOP3RDRUMM3R) what it takes to record drum videos. You're looking at thousands of dollars in microphones, stands, and camera equipment, not to mention the learning curve of setting it up and using it all. The Yamaha EAD10 Rec'n'Share app eliminates cost and hassle by injecting your phone video with awe-inspiring drum audio. It all happens on the fly: pick songs from your iOS music library, find the sound you're after, and point and shoot. The app syncs audio and video together for a performance that's easy to share with friends, bandmates, and video services like YouTube.
Wrestling with a particularly difficult song section? Looking to maximize your practice time? The Yamaha EAD10 can beat- and tempo-analyze songs on the way in and serve you a click for more effective practice. Not only that, it can also loop portions of songs or slow them down until you get up to performance speed. Take it from Music Experience: this function alone is well worth the EAD10's price of admission.

The sensor unit of the EAD10 comprises a specially developed XY stereo microphone sensor and trigger sensors, allowing you to capture a balanced recording of the sound of the entire kit by placing this at the center of the kit itself. The microphone capsule is a newly developed microphone that comes equipped with the ultra-high sound pressure resistance and strong noise resistance suitable for recording drums. The entire sensor unit, including the grill that covers the microphone capsule, incorporates an acoustical design that allows for the adjustment of directivity and frequency characteristics. The preamplifier is equipped with custom parts, and the mic itself is designed to draw out the maximum dynamic range of a drum kit while achieving the balance ideal for recording, allowing for clear and dynamic sounds. Additionally, the range of sounds that can be created has been greatly expanded by using the trigger sensor to combine bass drum sounds with a PCM sound source. The EAD10 has achieved both simplicity and quality by combining the technologies that could only be developed by a comprehensive manufacturer well versed in both the characteristics of instruments and microphones.
The main unit of EAD10 is designed with ease of use in mind. The left side of the main unit comes equipped with large knobs that can easily be adjusted mid-performance, so that the main control functions like volume and preset scene can be accessed easily. LED indicators have been added to the preset scene controls of reverb, effect, and trigger to make them more visible. This allows for understanding of current settings as well as quick and intuitive adjustment on even the darkest of stages. The buttons and LCD display on the right allow for even more detailed adjustments. Additionally, a high-performance headphone amplifier was also developed specifically for this unit, and delivers power and performance that cannot be outdone by the dynamic sounds of acoustic drums. It also comes equipped with many high-quality effects and PCM sound sources used in Yamaha electronic musical instruments. Furthermore, by using the trigger sensing technology from electronic drums, it creates added value for acoustic drums, making them into a completely new musical instrument.
EAD10 can capture the sounds of an entire drum kit and monitor them at a high quality just by attaching the sensor unit to the bass drum. By simply turning the knob on the main unit, you can control various effects and change the drum sound as you wish.
EAD10 can be played with your favorite music on smart devices via AUX cable or USB cable connections. In addition, by using the Android/iOS App “Rec'n'Share," you can practice by adding a metronome to your favorite music, record audio, record video, edit, and upload to SNS, etc.
If a speaker is connected to the EAD10 output terminal, it can be used as a simple PA system. You won't have to spend time mic-ing drums during live performance. Also, if you have a USB memory, you can record your own drum performance for up to 90 minutes.
EAD10 can connect to a maximum of 6 triggers and pads including the bass drum trigger of the sensor unit. Percussion sounds, electronic sounds, and loops, among other things, can be incorporated to expand the range of expression.
EAD10 features a talkback function. A player's voice can be captured by the microphone sensor of the unit sensor by operating the buttons on the main unit, or by using the pedal. This function can be used in various circumstances, including video creation and web lessons.
Combining EAD10 with a low-volume drum kit using mesh heads and low-volume cymbals leads to the birth of an entirely new drum kit. Playing PCM sound with triggers attached to each drum and capturing raw sounds, including those of cymbals from the microphone sensor of the sensor unit, allows the raw sound of the drums themselves to be kept at a low volume while realistic drum sounds are output through the headphones and speakers. Settings that resemble that of a real drum kit lend themselves to the production of a performance that feels more real than ever before.
