Yamaha

Product Overview

The EAD (Electronic Acoustic Drum Module) is Yamaha’s unique system that captures the natural sound of an entire drum kit with an exceptionally simple setup, while opening up new possibilities for drumming by combining effects and electronic sounds.

The innovative EAD20 makes this concept more accessible than ever, featuring a newly developed sensor unit and a main unit powered by the same advanced sound chip found in the flagship EAD50.

Blending the authentic resonance of acoustic drums with powerful hybrid sounds, the EAD20 elevates performance in every situation—from creating performance videos and recording to daily practice and online lessons.

New Vistas in Drumming

The EAD20 preserves the authentic feel and character of acoustic drums while giving you an easy, intuitive way to shape your ideal sound. Simply attach the sensor unit to your bass drum and instantly achieve an optimized, balanced sound—without the need for complex mic placement. Layer built-in PCM sounds and effects to create powerful hybrid performances that seamlessly blend acoustic drum tones with electronic elements.

Even advanced hybrid setups are easy to control thanks to Auto Settings, which optimize trigger sensitivity and mic levels simply by playing the drums, along with the intuitive interface of the dedicated EAD Touch app. The EAD20 also enables clear monitoring through in-ear monitors in loud drumming environments, helping reduce ear fatigue while keeping you focused on your playing.

Simple yet powerful, the EAD20 is an essential tool that transforms the modern drumming experience.
