3-zone cymbals with 360° playing/choke zones
3-zone snare with dedicated side rim and 2-zone toms
Super smooth optical sensed hi-hat

Beyond Average Playability
What sets EFNOTE 3 apart is its playability, which is equivalent to the top series. With multi-sensor pads and 360° cymbals, you can expect a high-resolution and hotspotless sound. The innovative Tru-Motion™ hi-hat pedal and independent stands make it easy to customize your setup. Plus, it has an aesthetic design that goes beyond the basic model.

Full-Scale Acoustic Sound
EFNOTE 3’s full-scale acoustic sound has full stereo acoustic drum/cymbal samples recorded by EFNOTE. Tru-Aco™ sound technology provides real drum/cymbal sound behaviors. The raw sound without resynthesis is perfect for training.

For Training

Stroke Analyzer
