Yamaha EAD20

The Yamaha EAD20 transforms an acoustic drum kit into a complete hybrid system for practice, recording, streaming and live performance. Its new sensor attaches to the bass drum hoop and naturally captures the entire kit in stereo, without a complex multi-microphone setup.

Powered by the same advanced processing platform as the flagship EAD50, the EAD20 combines the acoustic drum sound with PCM sounds, studio-quality effects and recording functions. Automatic settings optimize microphone levels and trigger sensitivity simply by playing.
