The EFNOTE 5X sits at the heart of the EFNOTE catalog as an "advanced" configuration focused on performance. It adopts the acoustic aesthetic of the Series 5 and expands it with larger diameter shells and cymbals for stage presence and playing comfort close to a traditional drum kit.
Designed for intermediate to expert drummers, the 5X is suitable for home studios, schools, and stage use. Its wide dynamic range and realistic sizes make it relevant for pop/rock, funk, modern jazz, and urban music, while remaining ideal for silent practice and multitrack recording.
The aluminum module emphasizes ergonomics: touch navigation, 17 ready-to-play kits, 83 user memories, and 15 recording slots. Modern connectivity (USB audio 8x2, Bluetooth audio and MIDI, MIDI output) facilitates work in DAWs as well as on stage. On the sensor side, the 3-zone snare with independent rimshot, 2-zone toms, and cymbals with 360-degree detection improve control. The multi-optical hi-hat precisely captures open/close for an authentic feel.
EFNOTE favors stereo samples of acoustic drums and cymbals, not "resynthesized," to preserve the sound's character: clear attack, natural body, and realistic sustain. The multi-layered sounds manage smooth transitions from ghost notes to fortissimo, while ELISE detection optimizes coherence between your strike and the output.
The 6-ply birch shells do not directly influence the final timbre as on an acoustic kit, but their rigidity and rebound contribute to a precise and quick touch, ideal for articulated playing. The large-format cymbals (16" crash, 18" ride) offer projection and expressiveness close to acoustic cymbals, with immediate choking at the edge.
