Historical Context and Positioning in the Range
EFNOTE 3X is the "acoustic size" version of the Series 3. It adopts the brand's minimalist and elegant philosophy while extending playability with birch shells and large freely swinging cymbals, positioning it as a versatile kit oriented towards performance.
Who This Drum Kit Is For
Designed for intermediate to expert drummers, the 3X suits pop, rock, funk, gospel, fusion, and jazz styles. Its 3-zone cymbal play, independent rim-shot, and highly nuanced hi-hat facilitate ghost notes, subtle dynamics, and fast patterns. Bluetooth and multichannel USB make it ideal for connected learning, silent practice, and multitrack recording.
Features and Innovations
The EFNOTE multi-optic hi-hat captures open/close in three dimensions with Tru-Motion technology for continuous and musical response. The 360-degree drums and cymbals use multiple sensors for precise detection across the entire surface, with cymbal choking function. The ultra-compact brushed aluminum module offers a fast workflow via the touchscreen, 16 preset kits, 34 user kits, and 15 recording slots. The USB audio interface with 8 outputs / 2 inputs and Bluetooth audio/MIDI simplify live streaming and studio work.
Sound
The 3X specializes in acoustic sounds: drums and cymbals sampled in stereo, delivered "raw" without resynthesis to preserve natural attack, warmth, and dynamics. The 98 multilayer sounds faithfully translate nuances from pianissimo to fortissimo, while the ELISE system optimizes the sense of "control" and velocity consistency. The 6-ply birch monocoque shells contribute to stable rebound and a playing feel close to acoustic drums, with a sharp attack and balanced projection. The thin-edged, freely swinging cymbals offer a supple response, defined bell, and instant choking for remarkable playing realism.
