Man I don't know what to say I've been searching for E-drums that satisfy me but all of them disappointed me, Finally I found EFnote E-drums and they amazed me so now I'm planning to buy the 5x or wait for 7x to come out this autumn Thanks for this amazing review
This has the most natural studio quality drums I have heard yet. If they fix that machine gun with some round robin and add 8 analog outputs for recording this would be a perfect 10.
I'm fairly certain firmware updates can fix triggering anomalies such as machine gunning. I have an Alesis with mediocre stock sounds and triggering but they disappeared when I went USB to drum software.
@@pdxmetal Sorry, but machine gunning is an artifact of how many sound variations (known as round-robins where there are multiple sounds per layer) are in the module. It's not how the sounds are triggered.
@@482jpsquared As I said earlier, and you clarified, firmware updates with better samples with more layers could fix the issue. Going usb to drum software with better samples fixes it as well.
Thanks for the review motivated me to go try the 7 and 15 minutes later I ordered it. These things are awesome. Feels amazing , looks good enough to live in my living room and the electronic aspect means I can play and get good sound at a low volume safe for my kids to be hanging out in the room with me without protection. Everyone always talks about performance aspects with kits but I feel like even more importantly this is a kit that can fit our day to day life which means MORE PLAY time!
Great playing and review, Bro! Do you think the Bass Drum is a bit smaller on the look and the feel? That’s the only factor that stops me getting this. If 18", sold, no question. Otherwise a great KIT! Plus, Flow Toms would be low and small? I don’t want to look like I am playing the kids drums. Thanks in advance for your response.
@@johndef5075 10" rack, 16" kick, 8" splash, (2) 16" crashes, 18" ride, 14" hat, 12" snare, 12" - 13" floors. If the 10" rack was set up a bit lower, it may look more uniform to your eyes. Pretty handsome kit.
@@NickCesarzDrums interesting. I just downloaded it on both Mac and Windows, but it won't let me use UA-cam or any streaming service. Maybe you're using an older version?
The kick might be a little loud but you could muffle it with a pillow. As long as you don't play rim shots, you might be okay. The cymbals will be a little loud, but they might be a little quieter than other e-kit cymbals. But if you're already having trouble using a 2box kit, you might be out of luck unfortunately.
I have the output of the electronic drum kit sent to my audio interface and music software. While making the video, I record the kit audio and voice microphone at the same time and then sync the video footage during editing to that audio after the video is recorded.
The sounds are fantastic, too bad the machine gun effect is so prominent. It is surprising this is still an issue in 2022, when power and storage capacity for large multilayer samples shouldn't be a constraint. Machine gunning, the propietary multipin cable dongle (instead of standard jacks straight on the module), along with the plain stupidity of permanently attached cables for the splash and hats are 99% a deal breaker for me even though I love the sounds, looks, and decent pricing.
on the first eye you think wow but onder the hood it is not that greath. also the size of the kick is a toy look. cable management is bad. machine gunning....! cymbals are verry good i think . it s a sponsered review also
@fartpoobox ohyeah Is this a serious question? It’s everywhere on this video, the problem is particularly prominent on the snare and toms. Check out the tom rolls at 12:40. My 10+ year old Yamaha DTX900 module barely produces any machine gunning. I would’ve expected this not to be an issue anymore on a modern kit.
This seems like the best for the money but am not sure if a 4th tom can be added, which I need. I like the white sparkle look as well but the X is only the dark wrap. Also unsure of EFnote durability since they are new. My Alesis DM10x has two cracked trigger plates rendering two pads unusable after 4 years. Fine for a 1K dollar kit but would be unacceptable for this price point.
The EFNOTE cymbals are not digital-they do not use a USB cable like Roland. The EFNOTE cymbals do not have sensors for touch which allow you to mute the cymbal with the static electricity of your hand. IMO, the Roland digital ride, hats, and snare are incredible realistic in comparison.
16" bass drum ruins the whole look. Especially since they go out of their way to have full size cymbals. How many people buy an acoustic set with 16 inch bass?
@SunnyHF-nf4bc I use a Yamaha HipGig with a 16" kick.....once I'm through the FOH, you can't tell what size it is, and the transportability is excellent.

Congrats on the kit! Glad you're enjoying it!
This kit looks so dang cool dude!
Thanks Chris!
Thanx Nick for your EFNOTE 5X review.
Any time 👋🏻 thanks for watching
Impressive review. Do you have a video of the volume of drum heads? Maybe I missed it?

Thank you kindly!
Great review, Nick!
Thanks!
Those little toms and tiny bass look weird next to the full size cymbals.

Nice review. Cheers.
Can you play with brushes on this kit?
I haven't tried it, but I don't think it would work very well
Is there any Reverb assignable on this EDrum kit?
Any reviews from you on the 7 and 7x??
7:25 Really? Moises never let me use UA-cam links.
nice kit btw
Thanks! Yeah you can use UA-cam links if you go on desktop version, not mobile. But they will show up on your phone in the same account once you do it
@@NickCesarzDrums interesting. I just downloaded it on both Mac and Windows, but it won't let me use UA-cam or any streaming service. Maybe you're using an older version?
Wow. I wonder if this change JUST happened! I no longer can either. D:
Big bummer. I used it for so much.
Looks to be the case... :( twitter.com/moises_ai/status/1555569592101224450?s=20&t=lGvEZ2sSuC8YV_ndgxynFw
Okay say it slowly for us older guys ...what was the program for removing drum parts from songs for overplay. ? Thanks
Moises.ai 😃
Are they delivering to Canada?
I have tiny room in my basement 140x200cm - Can I fit it in and play comfortably?
Thanks for a very thorough review! I’m trying to decide which electronic kit to buy and have been leaning toward the Roland VAD306/7 or 506/7.
have you pulled the trigger on any kit?
@@tonato17 Not yet but close!
One day I’m getting the 507, next day I’m getting the 5x.
I have absolutely no idea what I’m going to buy.
do i understand it is to loud for a appartment ? i cant play enymore (2box) the highhat impact sound is to loud for my neigbours.

@@NickCesarzDrums thank you sir )
@@NickCesarzDrums it is my highhat that is the problem the stick noice on the surface from the highhat is so loud . i mis drumming a lot
I have question. How do you get drum sound to video while you re recording ?
I have the output of the electronic drum kit sent to my audio interface and music software. While making the video, I record the kit audio and voice microphone at the same time and then sync the video footage during editing to that audio after the video is recorded.
Wow!!! That ride's sensitivity and sound blows every other brand out of the water! Not even Roland's digital ride on a TD50 comes close...
I beg to differ.

All of our kits can be expanded to 2up/2down toms. You can get the white sparkle EFD5 and expand it up to 11 inputs.
What’s a difference between these cymbals and digital ones like Roland has? Down anyone know ?
The EFNOTE cymbals are not digital-they do not use a USB cable like Roland. The EFNOTE cymbals do not have sensors for touch which allow you to mute the cymbal with the static electricity of your hand. IMO, the Roland digital ride, hats, and snare are incredible realistic in comparison.
@@NickCesarzDrums that's too bad. So there's no way you can mute the cymbals with your hand..?
I want this so bad but I don't have enough room so I got the donner ded 400 so I can fold it away after
16" bass drum ruins the whole look. Especially since they go out of their way to have full size cymbals. How many people buy an acoustic set with 16 inch bass?
Lots of people buy 16" accoustic KDs
Most of the big names in percussion produce them...if no one bought them, why bother producing them?
@johndef5075 Ever heard of a Gretsch kit?
@SunnyHF-nf4bc
I use a Yamaha HipGig with a 16" kick.....once I'm through the FOH, you can't tell what size it is, and the transportability is excellent.
@@steveross8326 That is such a fun drumset to play.
Tons of people have 16 inch bass drums, doosh
