Importing data may result in overwriting all user data of

the EAD10. Please save your important data onto the
USB flash drive before importing the Low volume drum
kit data to the EAD10.
Procedure

1. Connect a USB flash drive to the [USB TO DEVICE]

for both easily and quickly from the USB flash drive.

This data is to be used at the user’s own risk.

DO NOT power off or disconnect the cable from the

product during the importing process. This may
damage the EAD10.

Using Drum Triggers to Play

Trigger Sounds with Your
Low volume drum kit
1. Install the low volume cymbals and low volume drum
heads (mesh heads) to your drum kit.

2. Attach the drum triggers to the bass drum, snare drum

and toms of your drum kit.
Finger-tighten the drum trigger’s fixing screw to secure
it in place.
Be sure to position this drum trigger between adjacent
tension bolts.
DT50S
As shown in the figure, position the drum trigger as far
from the drummer as possible to prevent it from being
struck accidentally.

DT50K
As shown in the figure, choose a position as far from

https://manual.yamaha.com/mi/bo/ead10/en/05_sad_en.html Pagina 5 di 8
Using with Low Volume Drum Kit 27/05/22, 08:25

the toms as possible.

NOTICE

Do not pull the sensor section or expose it to

excessive force. Failure to observe this precaution
can result in malfunction.

Do not over-tighten the fixing screw. Failure to

observe this precaution can result in the loop being
scratched or warping.

3. Install the Main Unit to your Low volume drum kit.

Refer to the this page .

4. Connect the drum triggers to the jacks on the Main

Unit rear panel as shown in the figure.

Connect only the Sensor Unit the "B" jack to the

Main Unit the "B" jack. Be sure not to connect the
Sensor Unit the "A" jack to the Main Unit the "A" jack.

Do not use a Y-cable if your drum kit is a 4-piece

type.

Prepare an appropriate Y-cable if your drum kit is a

5-piece type.
Confirm the label notation of the Y-cable and
connect to the drum triggers as below.

Y-cable L (Tip) Connect to the DT50K on

your bass drum.

Y-cable R (Ring) Connect to the DT50S on

your low tom.

NOTICE
When using mesh heads, be sure to tighten the tension
of each mesh head firmly. If the mesh head is too
loose, detection of the drum trigger may decline.

If the sound is not produced properly, be sure to

confirm the tension of each mesh head.

When using a mesh bass drum head, DO NOT use a felt

bass drum beater. Using one may result in significant
abrasion. Put a bass drum patch on the head or use a
plastic beater.

If it feels difficult to control the rebound of the bass

drum beater, putting fabric such as a cushion into your
bass drum inside may reduce the rebound force.

If you need a more realistic acoustic drum sound,

fasten a strainer to your snare drum.

Using with Low Volume Drum Kit 27/05/22, 08:25

The rebound characteristics of a mesh head depend on

the number of mesh ply. Select the number of mesh ply
(below) according to your performance requirements.
Single-ply mesh head: The detection of drum triggers is
good. On the other hand, it has more rebound and is
less realistic than a normal drum head.
2 or 3-ply mesh head: The rebound feeling is more
natural and nearer to that of a normal drum head. On
the other hand, the detection of drum triggers is slightly
inferior.

Use a normal drum head on the bottom of the drum.
