EAD (Electronic Acoustic Drum) is Yamaha’s unique system that brings electronic expandability and convenience to acoustic drums. By simply attaching a dedicated sensor unit containing a special microphone and a trigger, you can capture the entire setup in high-quality stereo and combine it with built-in effects and sound sources for greater expression.
The latest model, EAD50, takes this concept even further. It captures and processes your acoustic sound with amazing precision, merging it seamlessly with electronic sources to create a true hybrid drumming experience. With real-time control and intuitive operation, drummers can shape their own sound as they play—on stage, in the studio, during lessons, while streaming or any other playing situation. EAD50 empowers drummers of all levels to create and perform with a broad palette of sounds.
Drummers have always found it hard to keep their sound the same from venue to venue. Different rooms, engineers and stage setups can all change how the drums sound. With the EAD50 and its sensor unit(DSU50), you can bring your sound with you wherever you play.
The Sensor unit uses a pair of custom microphones that capture the entire drum set from a single position. These use technology normally found in high-end studio mics, giving you a clean, accurate drum sound while reducing the sound of the room which is normally picked up by traditional drum microphones.
The EAD50 takes the audio from the sensor unit and processes for use with PAs or recording setups. You can blend the natural mic sound with samples, and add effects to create the tone you want. You can use the presets to get started or customise everything depending on your knowledge.
Because everything is done in one box, setup is quick, simple and fully repeatable. Your sound stays the same every time you play.
From small clubs to large stages, the EAD50 changes how drum miking works. It’s an easy, reliable way to get a great drum sound anywhere.

The EAD50 let you shape your sound how you want. Just as guitarists use amps and pedals, drummers can now create anything from subtle room sounds to powerful, studio-style effects in seconds.
For hands-on control, the six assignable Modifier knobs let you adjust almost any settings to suit you. You can fine-tune your sound quickly and easily, even while you play.
The EAD Touch editor app (Android, iOS and Mac) lets you edit everything on a familiar touch screen. You can connect wirelessly from your own devices for maximum ease.
The EAD50 lets you plug in pads and/or triggers so you can add or layer sounds or build a hybrid kit that suits the way you play.
The EAD50 greatly expands your creative and sonic options and opens up new ways to shape your drum sound.

The Yamaha EAD50 is designed to elevate your drumming experience with its advanced sound technology. It captures the essence of your acoustic drums, providing a rich and dynamic tonal quality. This electronic drum module allows you to enhance your sound with various effects, so you can ensure your performances stand out. Furthermore, with its intuitive interface, you can easily customize your sound to fit any musical genre.
Setting up the Yamaha EAD50 is incredibly straightforward, which is a significant benefit for drummers of all levels. Simply mount the EAD sensor onto your drum kit, connect it to your module, and you're ready to go. Additionally, it offers multiple connectivity options, including USB, making it easy to connect to your recording software or play along with your favorite tracks. Consequently, you can start making music within minutes of unboxing it!
The Yamaha EAD50 isn't just a performance tool; it's also perfect for practice. With built-in metronome and phrase looping features, it encourages drummers to refine their skills and experiment with different rhythms. You can easily jam with your recorded tracks, which makes practice sessions more engaging and fun. This is especially helpful for developing timing and creativity, resulting in a well-rounded drumming experience.
