The Efnote 5 is an electronic drum set for users with high demands, and also one that can hardly be distinguished visually from an acoustic drum kit and makes no compromises in terms of dynamics and sound quality. Four six-ply birch shells, equipped with double-ply mesh heads, create a familiar atmosphere when the drummer takes a seat behind the kit. Of particular note are the cymbal pads - including an 8" splash - whose trigger elements are distributed over the entire playing surface. With the 98 multi-layer sounds (which, it should be noted, only include acoustic sounds) the focus has been placed on the greatest possible authenticity, making the Efnote a fully-fledged replacement for an acoustic drum set.
Whereas many electronic drum manufacturers try to outdo each other in terms of the number of module sounds, understatement is the order of the day with the Efnote 5. The module, which boasts excellent build quality and is equipped with a touchscreen, offers almost 100 top-quality sounds that can be edited in many ways and stored as user samples to 128 memory slots, and will more than satisfy the needs of anyone who can do without electronic sounds and effects. In addition to 17 preset drum kits, 83 memory slots are available for user kits. A Bluetooth function enables users to wirelessly jam along to their favourite songs on their smartphone, and for recording sessions, the Efnote 5 can send eight separate channels to a computer via USB.
With its chic vintage look, the Efnote 5 is an absolute eye-catcher on every stage. Hardly anyone in the audience will notice that it is an electronic drum kit, and the sound that comes out of the PA speakers is in no way inferior to an acoustic kit. The setlist function, which enables entire concert setlists to be saved, makes this kit an even better choice for live performances. The kit is also suitable as a rehearsal room drum set in noise-sensitive environments or as a practice drum set for demanding amateur drummers. Various practice functions are available for this purpose, and users can also easily record their own performance and save it to one of the 15 song storage slots.
Efnote was founded in 2018 by former employees of the Roland e-drum development department. The company’s portfolio includes various e-drum sets in the upper price range, with the greatest value being placed on maximum sonic authenticity. In terms of both design and technology, Efnote’s e-drum sets offer innovative features such as module operation via touchscreen, cymbal pads with a 360° playing surface, and eye-catching hardware systems. The most popular model is the Efnote 5, which looks like a conventional acoustic drum kit with its birch wood shells and sparkling silver foil.
Thanks to its stunning looks, the Efnote 5 electronic drumset is almost predestined for the stage, and it also offers the ideal technical requirements for live applications: Flexible routing of the instrument channels, authentic drum sounds with a wide dynamic range, large playing surfaces, and a setlist function. The other band members will enjoy a transparent stage sound, so that the overall volume can be reduced to a comfortable level and everyone can adjust the drum volume individually on their monitor. Of course, this also applies to rehearsal room sessions, where the Efnote 5 can certainly replace the acoustic drums, provided that an appropriate PA is on hand.
