Step-by-Step Setup:

Equipment Overview:

Yamaha EAD10 Module
Two EAD10 Sensor/Microphone Units
Two TRS Male to Dual TRS Female Adapter


Connection Guide:

Attach the first sensor/microphone unit to the primary bass drum.
Attach the second sensor/microphone unit to the secondary bass drum.
Use the two TRS male to dual TRS female adapters to connect both units to the single main EAD10 module. (both A cables together, both B cables together)


Configuration Tips:

Adjust the sensitivity and settings in the EAD10 module to ensure balanced sound from both triggers.
Fine-tune the effects and levels for optimal performance.


Playing Demos:

Demo 1: We showcase the setup on a vintage Ludwig chrome over wood drum kit with 9 toms and dual 24" kicks in an untreated home studio room, highlighting the rich, warm tones captured by the EAD10.
Demo 2: We move to an acrylic Pearl Crystal Beat drum kit with a more average tom set up and dual 22" kicks in a typical home environment, demonstrating the versatility and adaptability of this dual EAD10 setup.


Quick Review:

After testing, we share our thoughts on the setup. We found that using two EAD10 sensor/microphone units with a single module significantly enhances the functionality of the EAD10 for double bass drum kits. The setup is straightforward, and the results are impressive, offering a perfect blend of acoustic feel and electronic versatility. The only down side being you'll need to buy a second unit (let us know if the trigger / microphone portion can even be ordered separately)


Conclusion:

We hope you find this guide helpful for your double bass drum setup with the Yamaha EAD10. Don't forget to like, comment, and subscribe for more drumming tips and tutorials!
