The Yamaha EAD10 turns an acoustic drum set into an electronic-acoustic hybrid kit. It has two parts: a sensor unit that clips onto the bass drum hoop, and a small sound module that mounts on a stand or sits on a flat surface. Setup uses minimal wires.
The sensor unit picks up the sound of the acoustic drums and cymbals. It then triggers electronic percussion sounds, user samples or effects in the sound module. The module can work as a sound module or as an effect processor for the acoustic drums. Additional inputs for triggers or drum pads let you expand the set.
The module includes a large sound library and a studio-quality effects library, and it accepts user sounds and samples. For practice, it can import play-along tracks and detect their tempo. You can then adjust the tempo and add a click track. Audio and video recording options are available, and a free iOS app lets you practice, shoot, edit and upload videos of your drum performances.
