I don't know if people realize this, but your video production & editing skills are superb👌 (Have you considered a career in TV/Film production ? ). Back to the subject on hand. I was fixing to buy a 2nd E-Drum kit for under $2500 for another location (Already have the nice Roland TD27 KV2). Almost bought the Alesis Core for $1999. But I always check your channel before I buy😎. Thanks to you I found out that Alessis module is literally falling apart. Your advice about avoiding that kit was spot on ! So a little awhile ago, Just saw the Ef-Note 3-B style for $2199. Seems like a great deal. So I come here, and whaddaya know, Justin's put out a whole show on Ef-Note ! Yay 😛Thanks man. I think I'm going to buy that kit. Great job

Great review as always. I just purchased a TD716 kit, and I'm a bit disappointed. I'm coming from a TD30 which -- in some ways I think it's better. I'd like to hear your opinion. The video is long, but there are timestamps so you can skip the parts you already know. kzbin.info/www/bejne/i6DYn3uti5Vmd5I

Hey I need help! I just bought a used strike pro se off marketplace but it didn't have the hi hat stopper/rest thing that it sits on. I've got the spring and hi hat controller port but I am missing the clutch and stopper. Is the clutch the same as any other hihat stand?

I’ve been looking for an answer to this very simply question but I have yet to find someone explaining how to solve this issue: KV2 (the combo I have) has a snake cable which includes both hi-hat inputs (hi-hat and hi-hat control); VH-10 REQUIERES 2 stereo cables to work properly, but the snake cable has a MONO hi-hat control cable. Someone told me I could just “upgrade my hi-hat” instead of returning my kit and getting a KVX (Amazon seller conned me - at least the “price” was of a KV2 - but he announced it as a KVX2… (MOTHERF…) Obviously, things will never work as intended when you’re missing half the “computing information” for the hi-hat to work properly. How does one “upgrade” a KV2 to a KVX2? Do I need to purchase a snake cable that is specific to the KVX2…? Cause obviously the drum module is the same so there shouldn’t be any issues there (TD-17). I am only posting this rant here in hope that someone KNOWS how to actually connect this VH-10 to a TD-17 from a KV2 combo (cause I’m guessing the snake cable that comes with the KVX models DOES indeed have two stereo cables for the hi-hat and hi-hat control). I’ve tried many things, and I’m about to spend yet another freaking hundo on a snake cable that I HOPE will have stereo control hi-hats. If you know I’m on the wrong path, I’d appreciate your advice before I pull the wallet-trigger once again to account for the stupidity of my Amazon seller (probably not stupid, just intentional scammer). Damit Roland seriously💀

EFnote 5 owner here. You can’t go wrong with efnote. Best acoustic sounding drums, best hihat in the biz, and the CEO answers every question and issues in FB. Best value for money if you are serious about E Drums.

Do you still recommend these in 2024? Found a used pair for 100 bucks trying to figure out if they’re worth it

you are very wise

I will never buy an efnote

Sounds terrible

Hi I have a TD20 Roland in perfect condition and dont have the money to updrade.How can I record this with no latency and what do I need?

Hi Justin. Are these pads quieter than Yamaha Textured cellular silicone pads? And are we supposed to hit the crash on the white section to get a regular crash sound or can it be hit in the edge? Thanks

Would be useful to state the issues with each component from different manufacturers when doing these kind of videos.

Well if you have to ask, I'd say NOOOOOO.

Still Love my TD27-KV after 4 years (2020) . Perfect size and real drum feel. I believe the only difference now is the digital hi-hats.

thanks for the great unbiased reiew, I was looking into this option

Can one use a bluetooth transmitter to transmit music (e.g., sportify) into a drum module (that has no bluetooth like the Yamaha DTX6K3-X) to play along? Or would that have latency as well?

I just purchased a TD716 and I must say I'm disappointed. I counted 245 sounds built in, not including any from the cloud that are loaded into "slots". TD30 came with 80 kits and a full 1100 sounds. TD716 only 70 kits. Also, my opinion is that the TD30 kits were more usable out of the box. Every snare hit on the TD71 sounds the same. This was not the case for TD30.

Planing to buy a used note 5, do the high Tom and floor Tom dual zones so I can assign different instrument sounds on the tom rims? Thanks

They just wired it wrong kn the factory

Hello! Great channel. What kit would you go for if you had about 2000 dollars to spend? I'll consider all brands. Don't have any super specific requirements, but the kick drum needs to take a double pedal with ease. Thanks!

On sale right now for 50$

Best explanation, it helped me a lot! Thank you.

“Who would be caught playing this thing?” Was that JoJo Mayer? I know he did some promotional clinics for Ddrum back in mid 90’s, there’s some videos on KZbin of him doing it. 😊

I’m about to try out a Crate bx100 bass amp on my td10. It has an 8 band eq and a speaker out so why not try it out. For $30 I figured it is worth trying.

Hey man, how is that 3 ply mesh head holding up? And how would you compare it to the other bigger name 3ply mesh heads.

I bought an EFNOTE 5 in early 2023 when there was not so much information out there and I am still enjoying it! Great kits, keep up the good work EFNOTE!!!

NICE Justin! Very clear info👍🏼

Very interesting video. Could you tell me which of these drums has the best "feel" that would translate to a real kit? It's the number one thing holding me back from pulling the trigger on an e-kit. I REALLY want to make sure that what I practice on my e-kit will translate as much as possible to my acoustic kit playing. If not an EFNOTE kit, is there another brand you feel has this?

I am currently waiting on a delivery date for the pro 707 complete i purchased. Mainly will be using it for home use and some live performances on social media, I will be using the direct outs into my digital desk so I can add in the effects that efnote removed from the pro series.

Hello, I have question about the 18in ride cymbal, can you adjust it on the computer to sound like a 22 or 24in ride ?...I need an answer ASAP please, Im trying to porchase a kit ASAP for a GIG, i need to know the amwser ASAP pleASE

Probably one of the most critical reviews of this I’ve ever seen. Every other review that I’ve watched people love this. I’m still going to buy it.

Great video! I'm going with the Bonham type set-up as you did. I was going to purchase 2 14" floor toms, but yours look like 2 different sizes. Are they both 14's... they dont look like it.

Yes another great video Ty

Ty Justin I’m waiting patiently before I upgrade my TD-25 I like them but i would like to add them to a bigger kit. And a bigger module watching prices is thrilling 😂🥁💪🏻🔥🇺🇸

I love this video! So fun seeing other people's kit setups! Definitely got some inspiration for my own. Please keep doing these types of videos.

So what e-kit would you recommend for someone with a fair amount of experience who wants to start getting in to the double bass world of metal drumming but who doesnt want to spend a ton of money?

This is such an invaluable video series for anyone interested in eDrums and this is another great entry, Justin! Watched it the first upload and watched it again, not letting that view disappear!

This came across as a straightforward and honest appraisal. You are the first reviewer that I have found who doesn't sound like a commercial actor doing an ad spot. Great work!

Thank you so much for these! I wish all E drum manufacturers would give us not 2 or 3 sets to choose from but put together individual parts over every single piece of gear they have.

Can someone tell me if the sounds in this kit are worse or better than superior drummer 3 sounds? I’m new to these e drums

🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

Would you still get a Roland 706 / 716 over an Efnote pro 703x pro series? Debating that purchase.

Im debating between an acoustic kit and an e-kit next, and EFNote has caught my attention based off of reviews. Thank you for the reviews. They help a lot.

Just bought an Efnote 5 with expansion pack for home practice and fun after your video and can’t wait for it to be shipped. Thanks Justin for the awesome video!

Could you please cover the millennium ekits

I love the look of that mountiing hardware on the 3 series. Like the cheapest kit looks best to me. I'd love that kit, with the kick off the newer one. So I get that symetrical look from those killer tama tilt looking stands. That's just so cool looking, and you lose it, on the other 3 series kits. Oh, and yeah, that complete set.. DAYUM! Finally a kit that looks almost just like my acoustic rig... Need a couple more of, well each cymbal lol.

The 3X is one of the best bang for buck kits along with the KV2. The optical hihats are impressive. Once efnote go digital we'll have a real dogfight at the top.

for the 3X is it possible to expand with the china cymball without losing a crash? do they have boult in sound for chinas and FX cymball in the drum module? (in the video its using the FX cymball with the 3x but i didnt find amy information about it)

I bought an efnote 5 kit a while ago because of your videos. I've been super happy with it. Efnote rocks, and YOU rock Justin!

Have a great holiday season Justin!
