Vinyl record representing a captured drum take

Live session

Record the room.

Drum Buddy isn't only headphones and screens. When you sit behind a real kit — alone or in a room full of people — this is where the take gets captured, played back and kept.

What is EAD?

Electronic Acoustic Drums — a small module that mics your kit, adds reverb and effects, and sends one clean stereo mix out.

Learn the module

This is a playable stand-in for a real EAD front panel. Turn a dial, tap a part to read what it does, then hit the pads — every knob genuinely changes the sound you hear.

Session tips

Drummer recording in a studio environment

Play to a click

Open the Tempo Room on a second device so your live take lines up later.

One song, three takes

Record three passes of the same groove and keep the one that breathes.

Mind the cymbals

Room mics hear cymbals first. Back off crashes 20% so the snare sits right.

Name it in your head

Say the tempo and groove out loud before you count in.
