The cymbals are similar in color to the rims with a plastic underside and a coated rubber surface. The rims are metal and have a matte grey appearance, which contrasts the black oak finish nicely (arguably better than the white sparkle). The shells also feature a silver EFNOTE badge on the side. The wrap overlaps the seam slightly on some of the drums, but it’s a minimal point to nitpick. The Black Oak is a wood vinyl wrap with a matte finish. The 3, 5, and 7 come in White Sparkle, and their “X” (Expanded) versions come in Black Oak. The drums themselves naturally are a little bit louder with both batter and resonant heads, so drummers in apartments may need to watch out. The wooden hoops feature a natural finish on the inner side, giving a nice contrast to the matte black finish of the rest of the kit. The kick drum feels like a real drum when you play.Īs far as the resonant head on the kick, the user can treat muffling it exactly like an acoustic drum and can muffle the front head with the same fabric they would an acoustic drum (pillow, towels, etc.) The 5X Bass Drum I was delighted when I heard the noise of the front head in the room. You can hear the resonance a little bit when you hit the kick drum. We usually only see this with hybrid electronic drum kits-a nice touch. The kick drum has an actual plastic front head. I couldn’t believe I was holding a 16″ electronic bass drum complete with wooden hoops, claw hooks, two heads, and such a beautiful finish. The bass drum wowed me immediately when I pulled it out of the box.

They feel great to hit right out of the box. The kit has real drum shells with both top and bottom mesh heads. They look incredible straight out of the box. The slogan on the product page reads, “DREAMS MADE REAL,” and they don’t disappoint in that regard. The EFNOTE 5X is the biggest and baddest kit available in terms of pieces. The kit also features a 20″ kick, 14″ snare, 11″ rack and 15″ floor. EFNOTE bookends the e-drum industry’s largest and smallest cymbals, From 20″ down to 8″. Not only is it the only 20″ in existence but features 360° playing/choke zones and is 3 zones. The 7 is boasting the much anticipated 20″ ride cymbal.

Unfortunately, I don’t believe the 7 series is available in North America quite yet. The 3 series is more compact, the 5 series utilizes full-size drum shells, and the 7 series offers the largest shells and cymbals. Before starting the company in 2018, the lead designers spent the last twenty years working for a leading Japanese musical instrument maker.Īs of publishing, EFNOTE offers five electronic drum sets: 3, 3X, 5, 5X, and 7.

For transparency, this is a sponsored review but will be objective and unbiased.ĮFNOTE is moderately new to the e-drum scene, but they certainly have the means to make quality instruments. Artesia Pro, who runs the US and Canada distribution for EFNOTE, was kind enough to send one out for me to check out. Over the past few days, I’ve been testing the EFNOTE 5X electronic drum set.
