Historical Context and Positioning in the Range
Designed to combine sleek design and modern efficiency, the "EFNOTE 3" stands out with a compact format and a decidedly acoustic orientation. It is aimed at drummers seeking a premium experience without unnecessary complexity.
Who This Drum Kit Is For
Ideal for intermediate to expert drummers, the "EFNOTE 3" excels in home studios, silent rehearsals, stage, and streaming. Its versatile kits easily cover pop, rock, funk, RnB, gospel, or fusion, with a dynamic range broad enough for subtle playing as well as powerful accents.
Features and Innovations
The aluminum module combines ergonomics and power: smooth touchscreen, 15 internal recording slots, built-in metronome, multichannel USB audio interface, and Bluetooth for audio and MIDI. The multi-sensor pads offer exemplary tracking precision, while the independent rim-shot sensor makes the snare instantly expressive. The 3-zone 360-degree cymbals tilt freely for a natural rebound, and the "Tru-Motion" hi-hat pedal (optical detection, adjustable openness and tension) delivers very fine opening/closing nuances. The "ELISE" detection system optimizes control feel and playing consistency.
Sound
Specialized in acoustic sounds, the "EFNOTE 3" relies on raw stereo samples without resynthesis to preserve the attack, depth, and breath of real shells and cymbals. The multi-layers reproduce the transition from pianissimo to fortissimo smoothly, and the three zones of the cymbals (edge/bow/bell) as well as the snare (head/rim/rim-shot) multiply useful articulations for studio and live settings. The 6-ply birch shells, renowned for their precise attack, controlled projection, and controlled sustain, enhance the sensation of a focused and articulated acoustic kit.
