I occasionally teach with one. I use a little 10 inch alto. Just because its light and i can set it up easily. I love yamaha PA speakers in general. But I also think a nice mixing set of speakers 5”, 7” maybe would sound nice in stereo. Some JBL or KRK or equivalent. Depends how loud you need it to go.

The mid level yamaha 10 “ PA speakers sound amazing to me. Circa $400 bucks.

I love it. No need for anything else really. I have two acoustic kits. This is purely for practice and getting recording ideas down. I may get the larger snare one day but i dont really need it. I plan to make a “5 things I like” type of video after owning it a year. Hopefully soon.

ua-cam.com/video/s1YWvoDCDus/v-deo.htmlsi=I2uIsExfj68BAoKs Those are the settings ive changed. Other than that I dont change much. No mixer to add EQ.

As opposed to buying 6-10 microphones, 6-10 mic preamps, having a great room where you wont disturb anyone, great sounding drums, new heads, and having years of experience knowing how to get good sounds?

@@Bearvswolf plug one cord into a CD recorder from my Yamaha dtx drum module and burn a great sounding CD been playing drums since 1972 and just got a Yamaha dtx in 2011

@@rh.645 Right. You cant make a record that way though. The intent is to record to pro tools or similar to make music.

@@Bearvswolf yeah I'm just old school and looking for ways to not have to use a computer 🤣

Edrumcenter👍

Appreciate it thanks🤘

I love mine yes. Keeps me practicing when i otherwise could not. Its ok for buzz rolls. Not perfect. But no electric is.

Nope. No second player

Thanks🤘 I hadn’t heard of those. Pretty sweet looking

Yes there is a tab in the midi editor. Check out the short I just posted.

Yep. I just use an iRig

Appreciate it. Thank you🤘

Yes. You would have to give up the rim shot on that drum though

@@Bearvswolf thank you! Does the 5 module have a lot of claps/tambourines assignable to tom rims?

@@reusdrumos i havent seen much. But have not looked for those sounds specifically. Ill try to remember to check next time

I actually dont own EZD3. I had a demo that I used for the video. I think I just used the template for like a Roland V drums kit. TD12 or TD20 maps usually work just fine for the efnote kit.

@@Bearvswolf thank you very much, i will try :) so far there is not any content on efnote vs ezd specifically. At least now i know that it worked for you so i can make the purchase of ezd3. I have an extended efnote 5 kit, still discovering as it is new, but am not the fun of the kits inside, i liked the studio F and modified it a little bit by changing the bass drum and playing with the pad levels as ride was too loud especially. So, ezd3 will be a big development to have. Anyway, maybe i can shoot a video to map the ezd3 with efnote 5, with your suggested roland kits and maybe trying with atv drums as i saw some others suggested so. Thanks again!

Yea I think the machine gunning thing is overblown in general. I have played a very long time. And i would have never noticed had nobody mentioned it. I have never had any complaints. However, my place is on the ground floor. With one shared wall and one place above me. I also have a “musicians” schedule. So when I am usually playing and recording nobody is around during the day. I think the loudest part is the bass drum. Which you could always stuff with blankets or something. But yea I have never had issues.

In theory that would work. You would have to find a mixer that could then break that usb into 12 individual tracks. That may be harder to find. If it were me. I would just use midi. Then you could connect to your computer via one cable. And use something like pro tools to accept midi. Use addictive drums (or similar). And then input whichever mp3 you wanted to play to.

Thankyou foryour reply. I was trying to get aound buying software. If the mixer has 12 channels and these are fed together through the mixer inputs, I would hope this mix would output through the USB in real time.I simply don't know if it's possible. I suspect the USB is for downloading files onto a memory stick afterwards. Yes, Midi is something I have never used so dont really understand what it's capable of.I really need to be able to tone control all the 12 channel outputs from the TD20 before anything is recorded not just the stereo mix. Someone mentioned a Tandberg interface which is 12 channel with a mix down via USB.@@Bearvswolf

@@thedrummerboy1215 if you dont mind mixing on the mixer. Like controlling the levels and sounds of the drums on the mixer. And then mixing it down to USB and sending to computer that could work. The low cost mixers with USB are almost always only stereo out through usb. Thats the only thing you want to double check. Some do allow for mulritrack ouput but just make sure if thats what you need.

@@Bearvswolf great, thankyou, just what I needed to know.

I was planning to do a video on that next . Because efnote is generally not included in these VSTs. But for Addictive I just choose the TD-12 map. I think the only thing that didn’t map was the splash. But its easy enough to change in settings. Esp if you use Logic you can see the incoming midi note on the top bar. Near the bars and beats section. Then just switch whichever cymbal you want to map to that incoming midi note to assign to the splash.

@@Bearvswolf a video on that would be awesome! I also use Luna and Addicted Drums like you mentioned in the video so it would be super helpful!

Right on. Thanks for watching🤘let me know what you think if you pick one up.

@@Bearvswolf I’m pricing them now as we speak… but I may not be ready to spend that much money. I may just get a module and choose the best Hi hats for the money and build a conversion kit. We’ll see!

Listening back I tend to agree.

Oh, spoke too soon haha you mention it in the video

Ha! So yes. I do think it gets better via a Software VST. My guess is they can use larger amounts of samples since our computers have huge hard drives. So the pearl mimic can run those VSTs but thats why it’s the price of a MacBook pro and you get no drums….a terrible buy if you ask me. But yes i do think the VSTs have an edge. 🤘

Man I didn't realize it was that bad on these. Any other kits better?

@@tadurall80 based on my research you could go with a Roland kit for about a thousand or 2 more than the ef note 5 but you will still run into the machine gunning issue regardless at a certain threshold (mentioned in the video). I think the solution regardless of kit is to use samples on your computer (EZ Drummer or Superior Drummer or any others with good samples) to increase the dynamic range of the sounds.

I address this here: ua-cam.com/video/s1YWvoDCDus/v-deo.htmlsi=JlCcoAxzekagli8T

Thx🤘 Have had some people mention that. Doesn’t bother me while playing but I see it. Probably a function of the bit depth/sample rate of these brains. I wonder if it changes when playing via midi to trigger a VST in pro tools since the computers are much more powerful. Maybe a good video idea.

Yes. You can connect via cable. Or with this kit my phone connects via bluetooth and you can play along.

Yes it can be adjusted👍

Yes. I record all of my shorts using the line out to an iRig. Then plugged into iphone.

Never even thought to try that. 🤘

I am pretty sure it was this. In this kit its a vertical post. So you need a circular mount. But with metal bar? Piece that will rotate to vertical. Hope that makes sense.

@@Bearvswolf Thank you very much.

I appreciate it very much. Thank you🤘

Depends what you want to do. The sounds are in the computer via slate drums, addictive drums, etc. so if you just want to put drums in a recording you can use those plugins. If you want to be able to hit something…you need drum pads. Or a kit.

For me it is. I needed to be able to practice in an apartment. I also teach with it. Not sure how you mean limited? There are fewer sounds than something like a roland. But i need 1/2 good kits i like to play. I can always connect to a laptop for almost unlimited sounds. You can download new sounds from their apps/site. When available.

@@Bearvswolf So the "unlimited sounds" that you can download from the laptop, are the ones of their apps/site, right?

@@zasimo4160 Efnote has extra kits available on their site occasionally. But I was referring more to Midi instruments. So you could use this kit as the controller for Steven Slate drums. Addictive drums, get good drums. Etc. any library you want. Then the kit just becomes the control for any of those libraries. So in that way you can make it sound like just about anything.

I have mine in one. I only share walls on one side and have people above me. Being on the ground floor is probably helpful. The shells do ring a bit. But you could stuff them with dampening to help.
