and sampled sounds replacing a full
miked drum setup?
Well, yes and no. The EAD10 does
not literally replace a full complement of
drum mics, but creates an entire drum
kit sound in its own way. The high-quality
XY mic really does grab a full stereo
capture of the whole kit, an almost
vintage paradigm that presents the kit
as a whole instrument. That's fine on its
own, but the magic of the EAD10 is how
it takes the stereo capture and then lets
you add reverb, compression, and
effects, plus realtime sample replacement
via the triggers. Blend it all together and
you get a product that offers its own
unique-sounding take on drum recording
and live sound.
Live on stage, I placed the EAD10 on
a kit that was already multi-miked, to
add kick and snare samples and special
effects into the drum mix. In the studio, I
had fun using the EAD10 on its own to
mimic vintage minimal drum setups, as
well as for tracking live compressed hip
hop drums. It also makes practicing fun,
and is great for sparking ideas.

The unit sounds great and the sample
set is vast. The sound designer in me
did wish for deeper sample and effect
editing, but overall Yamaha made wise
choices. You can mix and match effects
and samples to create your own kits
(scenes), and store them in 50 user slots
alongside the 50 factory scenes.
The only sonic downside was that
toms can sound a tad distant compared
to the kick and snare, especially with
the added snare trigger. I'd recommend
adding one or more triggers, especially
for floor tom. Setup is simple, but initial
placement of the EAD10's sensor unit
and adjusting mic and trigger settings
are all crucial to adapt it to your
playing style. When used live, there can
be bleed from other instruments next to
the kit, but it's no worse-and in many
cases better-than what conventional
drum overheads pick up.

Conclusion

I admit that the EAD10 has a touch of
'gimmick factor' to it, but it does present
a first shot at a new paradigm for drum

playing and capture. Beyond using triggers
and samples, most acoustic drummers rarely
get a say in their effects and tone, especially
live. Now guitarists and keyboard players
can't hog all the fun!
