    HEADPHONES RECOMMENDED!
    Today I'm checking out the ‪@efnote‬ 5X electronic drum set. I've been sitting on this review for about 7 months to really break in the kit and get a feel for it. So far, I'm thoroughly impressed and think they're offering an edge on other drum manufacturers like Roland and Alesis.

    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.

    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.

    • @ArtesiaProNorthAmerica
      @ArtesiaProNorthAmerica Год назад +4

      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.

    • @NickCesarzDrums
      @NickCesarzDrums  Год назад +3

      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.

    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.

    • @voederbietels
      @voederbietels Год назад

      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

    • @poxcr
      @poxcr Год назад +1

      @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.

    • @NickCesarzDrums
      @NickCesarzDrums  6 месяцев назад

      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.
