Yamaha has added the EAD50 Electronic Acoustic Drum Module, a next‑generation model that expands on the company’s EAD10 concept, and the DSU50 stereo condenser microphone, included with the EAD50 and also offered as a standalone unit. Together, they create a modern system aimed at elevating live performance and studio creativity. The EAD50 integrates a digital mixer, built‑in effects, tone generator, XLR multi‑mic functionality, looping, expanded connectivity and Cubase AI integration, giving drummers a streamlined hub for capturing and shaping their sound. Paired with the DSU50, which delivers higher‑quality stereo capture and versatile mounting options, this setup provides an all‑in‑one solution for creative control and professional‑grade drum miking.
Latin Percussion has introduced the redesigned Cyclops II Convertible Tambourine. The classic eye-shape frame of the Cyclops II Convertible Tambourine is constructed using high-density plastic. It features a double row of 14 steel jingles for a bright, high-pitched and piercing sound with a patented pinning system to ensure they stay in place. The Cyclops II Convertible Tambourine has an ergonomic silicone handle that reduces hand fatigue during long playing sessions with its vibration-damping properties.
