The EAD (Electronic Acoustic Drum module) is a unique Yamaha system that naturally captures the sound of an entire drum kit with a simple setup, creating a new drumming experience by blending acoustic sounds with effects and electronic elements.

The EAD20 makes this concept more accessible than ever, featuring a newly developed sensor unit and a main unit equipped with the same cutting-edge sound chip found in high-end models. The hybrid sound—combining the authentic resonance of acoustic drums with effects and electronic tones—elevates performances across the board, from creating videos and recording to daily practice and online lessons.
