Tom Tuning Tips For Recording w/The Yamaha EAD10

In this video Kenny Sharretts explores two different tom tuning intervals to see how they affect the tom sound when recording with the Yamaha EAD10. Although useful for any method of recording of drums, these tips will definitely help you hone the tom sound you want from your EAD10 recordings. Headphone listening highly recommended.

The EAD 10 is one of the coolest drum devices to come out in a LONG time. Very powerful and well thought out unit. Kudos to Yamaha. Kenny, excellent video, as always. I look forward to hearing more. All the best, safe travels on the road. Cheers.

This is the first video I've ever seen regarding interval tuning on drums! I figured that out on my own some odd years back in high school and my toms have always sounded great. I still do it to this day! Finally someone who can actually explain the details about it! Thanks for the video!

Yes the toms sound better for sure. I haven't found it possible to set up a 5 piece, and hear my L crash. When I go to your configuration, my ride becomes overwhelming. Have you ever tried using the EAD for an OH, room, or with your interface? You're videos have really helped btw

Kenny what a great video! I just picked up an EAD10 for use on live gigs with my DW Frequent Flyer. I like the way the 4th Intervals sounded! What do you recommend for a middle of the road rock/pop tuning interval for the tops and bottoms of my 12 rack and 14 floor that will work nice with the EAD10? I use Remo Emp top / Amb bottom. Keep rockin!

Kenny, love the videos! Have helped me immensely! I have a Ludwig Classic Maple 24, 13, 16, 18 and it sounds amazing, but I have this long sustain on the 18. The tone is pure and I have had nothing but praise from FOH on the sound, just that it lasts awhile. In your opinion, what reso head would help with that? I use coated G2's and have ran clear G1's on bottoms, but was thinking of reso7 or glass. Thanks in advance!

Cool video. I have the problem that my bass and toms are too loud what can i do about that?

Hello Kenny. What would you recommend for the intervals between 12x9, 13x10 and 16x16 toms for metal music.

If I just want to use the trigger as a recording device only no adding of sounds does the trigger knob go all the way down?

[drumdoug]

Hey Kenny, great video as usual. Do you find the ride to be too loud using that 1-up, 1-down setup? I started using that with my EAD10, but ended up going back to the 2-up (or even 3-up) 1-down setup with much better results. I will confess though that I haven't spent too much time tweaking the mics yet. I've also been using the Compression patch for most of my applications.

Greetings! What advice on snare tuning to get the most out of the DT50S snare trigger? Many thanks in advance!

[tlkshowhst]

When listening through headphones, I can hear a slight flam (almost like a really quick slap back) from the rack tom. I don't hear it in the Snare, kick, or floor tom.

[rockyrock]

Sorry, I have a question! Do I need additional triggers on toms for have a sound like this or only to add some external sample as in the final part of the video? Thank you

[jacobfriedman]

I want to buy the EAD10 but was wondering what isolating headphones you would recommend with this unit. I have the Vic Firth headphones but was wondering if there was a better option that won't break the bank?

[Elred]

Hi do you have a video where you use DT50s triggers on the toms? I'm thinking about doing this using input 5 & 6 for my rack and floor tom to boost my live sound on acoustic kit. Thanks

Have you had any trouble with the kick drum trigger not triggering a sound? Mine worked perfectly for a couple weeks, then I got a snare trigger hooked up, and the kick stopped working... It's all plugged in correctly and I've messed with the settings as much as I could, and done a factory reset, etc. Any ideas?

Have you ever worked on old 70's fiberglass Fibes? Im having a hard time getting a good tight tone out of my kit. I have a 12x9, and a 13x10, I have an 18x16 bop kick, as well as a 26x14 kick for when I want to go bigger. Any tips for getting a clean tight tone out of these?

The EAD10 is so useful. Still need to pick one up!

[jeremiahstewart]

please explain the usb to midi recording process.

[drumer]

What would be a good tuning for a Ludwig 402 looking for medium sound

I dig your style brotha...but enough of that, lets get a beat on! Hells yes brotha!!! Get some!!!
