Essential Information About the EFNOTE 3X Electronic Drum Kit
- Ultra-natural playing experience thanks to the 3D multi-optical hi-hat and multi-sensor pads.
- Compact aluminum module with touchscreen, 98 multi-layered sounds, and USB audio interface with 8 outputs / 2 inputs.
- Large-format cymbal set (16" Crash, 18" Ride) with 3 zones and choking, 360-degree free-swinging surface.
- Extended and stable kit with 4 Lambda tripods and 6-ply birch monocoque shells.
Historical Context and Positioning Within the Range
Designed to combine acoustic realism with modern design, the EFNOTE 3X is positioned as the more generous version of the best-selling EFNOTE 3: wider cymbals, extended tom set, and dedicated hardware for stage/studio use. It targets the brand's premium mid-range, featuring simplified ergonomics and refined finishing.
Who This Drum Kit Is For
Ideal for intermediate to expert drummers, the EFNOTE 3X also suits demanding beginners seeking an expandable kit. Its palette covers pop, rock, funk, gospel, jazz-fusion, urban music, and electro styles, suitable for silent practice, home studio, and stage performance.
Features and Innovations
The multi-optical detection hi-hat captures 3D opening movements with remarkable precision, while the multi-sensor drums and cymbals offer fine expressiveness, including an independent rim-shot sensor on the snare drum. The aluminum module features an intuitive touchscreen, 16 preconfigured kits, 34 user slots, 15 recording memories, as well as a USB audio interface (8 outputs / 2 inputs) and Bluetooth for audio and MIDI.
Sound Characteristics
EFNOTE favors stereo samples of acoustic drums and cymbals, without resynthesis, for a raw and organic sound. The 98 multi-layered sounds finely manage dynamics from pianissimo to fortissimo, with precise stereo imaging and sharp transients.
The 6-ply birch shells contribute to a clear attack, controlled lows, and consistent projection, ideal for cutting through a mix. The 3-zone cymbals with 360-degree surface and responsive thin edge reproduce bow, edge, and bell nuances, while the Tru-Motion detection on the hi-hat faithfully translates micro-openings and foot splashes.
