Yamaha EAD10 Drum Module

Purchased the EAD10 as I wanted a convenient way to record my acoustic drums whilst allowing for some effects to be added without to much hassle. Instead of having a 5+mic environment, this module is plug and play and produces a fantastic sound. Also the USB recording feature is handy. The drum sounds are clean, dry & overall very professional. With additional triggers you can expand the sound palette and finish off in your favourite DAW. No real draw backs, check out the many YouTube videos and you see what you get. Maybe 1 comment, would have been good to have midi in/out connections - also some of the triggering features can be subtitle, but than again the Thomann Staff were great in helping out - Overall good price/quality even if other solutions are available

I bought the Yamaha EAD10 to record my drum demos and help me get back into playing more frequently. I thought this was a good fun way to get inspiration back up to a level where playing drums consistently throughout the week wouldn't be a problem.
When I got it, it was very easy to set up and everything worked like a charm. For a single microphone the sound quality isn't that bad even though you can mic up a drum kit that would sound better with that money. But for a beginner who doesn't know anything about microphones but who still wants to record drums, this is a good starting choice. The effects and features on it are really fun to mess around with and will keep anyone entertained a good while.
In conclusion, buy this if you do not know alot about microphones or just want something fun to mess around with while playing drums. Do not buy this if you're looking to professionally record drums.

I'm a drummer in a three piece band and we play most weeks in small to mid sized venues. I also do the sound, not ideal I know but hey! There is time pressure with setting up kit, PA and lights so time is of the essence. I got the Yamaha EAD10 drum module to help save time. And it certainly does that. I have been using it now for about 10 gigs. One issue I do have with setting it up was from first gig I found that when I tried mounting the mic to the bass drum the internal rubber pressure pad came loose and I lost valuable setup time trying to correct this. It didn't just happen the once. Really special care has to made when sliding the mic into place so as not to displace the rubber pressure pad.
The module has a number of different pre-set scenes which are pretty cool, but for my requirements I only use the one. There are other functions that other user will find brilliant, but for me in a live band set-up.
The module itself is quite light, but all the buttons and knobs do have a quality feel. The Mic itself feels good in the hand, quality.
It's a must have!
Highly recommend!
