With an ED10, you can have:
- one snare, 3 zones
- one HH, 3 zones
- 4 toms, 2 zones
- one ride, 3 zones
- one kick, 1 zone
- 1 splash, 1 or 2 zone(s)
- 4 crashes, 3 zones

Could be bigger if you limit yourself to 2 zones on crashes.

Piggyback an ED4 for extras. 4 more at 3 zones, or 8 more at 1 or 2 zones.
That's mega kit territory.
And still cheaper than what an ED20 would probably cost.

Also, one thing that helps clean up the kit is that you can spread the two units along your kit. So, no need for monster cable runs from one end to the other. Put a unit on the right to wire the pads on that side, put the other unit on the left to wire that side, Only two USB cables, one between the units, one to the computer. Pretty neat trick!

Ten inputs gets me a kick, hats, snare, 3 toms and 4 cymbals. That's a perfect number of inputs for most people.

I still have the ED4 that I bought a week before the ED10 was announced, and I currently use it only for a cowbell pad. Meaning I have 3 spare inputs. It's tempting to think of three more trigger pads I could be adding, but I'll probably end up re-selling the unit.

I was just pulling your leg, you all.

It would be a great thing for Rob, but for us, it would be a very different experience.

I’m a firm believer in small, dedicated components that deliver on what they need to do, and can be swapped out and updated as required. I don’t want to be locked in to a single device that tries to do everything. So for me, currently, that means Roland triggers (they are fantastic), an eDrumIn interface, an Apple computer, Toontrack software, and a Tascam I/O.

I would agree to much of that, except one thing.

The Apple computer of late can not be upgraded, updated or swapped parts.It's a one in all soldered thing. If one thing dies, the whole computer is garbage.

I will not buy an Apple laptop ever again.
This coming from a guy who has been using Macs exclusively since 1988 (well, a bit before counting the Apple II)
I cannot support a company that does not allow for the user to swap a part, should it fail.

I used to love Apple and their drive to bring good (albeit expensive) products. The pirates have now become the greedy corporate machine.
Not cool....

I'm using a macbook pro 2018, the thing has been a nightmare, Catalina is a total failure, the touchbar I've used it maybe twice, feels like an old windows machine, crashing every now and then...
I found a "new" refurbished (by apple) 2015" Macbook Pro 15", the best laptop apple has ever made, on ebay, it was still 1399 bucks but I will be using it until I die upgrading the SSD to 2 TB and enjoying its usb ports. It's still unopened in my closet, as soon as the 2 year lease ends on my current one I'm opening it with joy...

The new iphone and their lack of headphone jack and 5G BS give me also the creeps... I'll be back to an iphone 6s as well...

Ok... ok.. you can leave off the touch screen.

20 inputs though... that’d be cool no? For use by drummer with big kits. I’m making two ED10s work just like I made 4 ED4s work. But a 20 input would satisfy every level of need with no compromises.

ED4 for expansion of commercial modules.
ED10 for the standard 5 piece and a few cymbals.
ED20 for the big progressive kit lovers.

Just wondering (as a 5 piece kit player with a few cymbals), what benefits would a hypothetical ED20 give over your dual ED10s?

No benefits other than having one piece of equipment to handle.

It’s the price points that will be important. The ED20 is going to cost more naturally. $599.
