EFNOTE MINI First Impressions

[@JirForce]

I can't believe this! Efnote stole my idea! LOL 2 years ago i was bought a Tama club jam flyer and converted it to an electronic drum because i wanted a very small drum kit that still looks like a drum. It's so much fun to play it and a pleasure to look at

[@hotmic22]

What heads, triggers and unit did you use? I’m looking at a used Tama right now. Though the Efnote is very appealing I would enjoy the challenges

[@progression_decibel]

Whoohooo I made B-roll footage! Great summary about the kit - I think Efnote will do well selling these kits. My favorite preset was “Mellow”. Also great to see you again at NAMM Justin!

[@listener84]

The kick, snare, floor and hi hats are new products that can be added to any efnote kit as well. They’ve nailed it with the is, everything ‘s compatible with everything.

[@pewsician2388]

Efnote makes the electronic drum set for the acoustic drummer.

[@DrummerGrrrl]

Hi, Justin! Another great video from you! I think the last time I commented on one of your videos, I was getting ready to buy the Yamaha DTX6-whatever at Sweetwater. Then my physical health began to decline and in December, I fell about six times, two falls were serious enough to land me in the emergency room. I fell last Sunday and am undergoing tests to try to figure out what's wrong with me. It sucks! I wasn't able to buy that e-kit and I'm not even sure I'll be able to play acoustic or electronic drums ever again. A sad and sobering thought. Anyway, seeing a video from you always cheers me up because you champion the good and great e-kits and tell the truth about the crap e-kits. I might be ableto handle a Roland Handsonic...but I sure hope that an e-kit could still be in my future. Just... not for another year, at least. Happy 2024 and I look foward to more great content from you.

[@ArtesiaProNorthAmerica]

Great vid and great to have you visit at NAMM, Justin! Michael

[@manuelcavazos8501]

Great stuff as usual Justin. Thanks for taking the time to chat with me a couple of different times at NAMM. Love your content. Also became a big fan of EF-Note drums. The double bass configuration they had setup was a great great kit. Quickly became a fan of these kits. I'm a Roland V-Drum user now but can see myself getting an EF-Note kit should I ever decide to upgrade.

[@ianmclean5541]

Smart move by Efnote. It’s really all you need for small gigs if you you don’t want to spend a ton of time setting up and tearing down.

[@TKbeatwerk]

This kit is so much fun to play, the module definitely is one of the most natural and enjoyable modules I’ve ever tried for being a simple module it still sounded lovely

[@darthbishop4543]

Would love to hear your thoughts on the Millennium MPS-1000

[@DidYouReadEULA]

Love everything about Efnote myself. Much better than Roland TD-17 pads IMHO.

[@BFedie518]

Efnote seems like a good choice if I just wanted to buy something that works--if I wasn't the kind of person who likes to tinker and make my own stuff. The drums *look* really nice.

[@chairsmissing]

Efnote is the truth! Most organic sound I've heard on electronic kits ever.

[@MrOtasiikapois]

Could you make a video about in which country each brand (Roland, Alesis,Yamaha, Efnote etc.) manufactures their drums? It is very hard to find that information and you seem to have good connections..

[@Mr31261]

I’ve got the tama club jam flyer Been waiting for an e drum kit this size definitely gonna get this

[@randalscandal1588]

Damn, I never saw you this year. I like the module, but the drums are a bit too small. I felt like a giant behind that, I can't imagine you behind it. LOL! I'd go for the 3x. Efnote is a great company with a great product and staff.

[@bassdrumcreep7884]

I play a sample pad in an acoustic duo. I can see using this in place of that in certain situations, but I'm thinking $1500 tops.

[@escapegoat32]

That looks pretty cool actually

[@astronaut2005drummer]

I liked this drum set! Very compact and beautiful.

[@66meikou]

Interesting. I think they need to price this @ 1999 for it to appeal to people. I'd be interested to see if they do the daak grey version because I'd be interested in buying the kick.

[@chezchezchezchez]

We need a DWe MINI

[@JG-nx3jg]

I think these guys make the best sounding electric kits

[@KubaAirs]

I got EFNOTE 3x and the sounds out of the module are really good. It can't compare to something like Ezdrummer though. When you connect your drums via midi to that running on your PC and monitor like that, it really sounds like you sit in front of an actual drum kit. Since I use Ezdrummer I really don't care too much about the module itself and if I ever upgrade my kit I will try to get one without a module.

[@JG-nx3jg]

How do you link ez drummer to efnote

[@VDJ4500]

@@JG-nx3jgsupposedly there is MIDI via USB-C… i wish to see it in action too.

[@JammingWithFlareYT]

Honestly efnote looks like it's starting to have a chance against the Roland VAD line. great kit. Even though I went to acoustic. I'd still have an e-kit as a secondary kit that's quiet so this might be good for something like that.

[@Elias-j9o8e]

Were you playing Time Consumer by Coheed and Cambria in the beginning?

[@FranksDrumCave]

My current kit is the Tama Club Jam Flyer

[@braydencranford3926]

I played that kit fir Stevie wonder Lola namm

[@sjdye92]

I dont know why it’s called the mini. Some people might call this average or quite adequate. A lot of people would be left satisfied with this size.

[@demonicsweaters]

I really like it! If I didn't already have 8 billion drum sets I'd probably get one. haha.

[@alfredorusso3823]

Hi, I am from Italy, I have the chance to buy an Hampback MK-11 for 999 euros...do you have same advice for this set and the brand? I like your channel I think you are really fair in your reviews...regards

[@65Drums]

I really can't recommend Hampback right now. I've played some of their kits, and they aren't very good

[@alfredorusso3823]

@@65Drums wich one of their kits? what about the last ones? i mean mk-9 or mk-11?

[@DrummerGrrrl]

I​@@alfredorusso3823I think Justin answered your question. 😂. Don't buy ANY of them. 😅

[@gamerh7218]

nice

[@johndef5075]

If I was going to try anything non Roland efnote would probably be it.

[@360.Tapestry]

hmmmm probably good if space and ease of use is the priority. most drummers are better off picking the right module and expanding as their needs change and develop over time

[@listener84]

The kick, snare, floor and hi hats are new products that can be added to any efnote kit as well. They’ve nailed it with the is, everything ‘s compatible with everything.

[@theblackknight870]

Seems like a solid kit, if ATV had tried something like this a while back they probably would have sold very well. By the way, is there maybe a review on unlock drums second line of cymbals coming? I think it's called lightning or something.

[@francescolongo1664]

It's possible to add a 16 crash? Or also a 10" tom?or both?

[@anakbaliti]

🔥

[@jeffdill2]

Any word yet on pricing or release date?

[@Tom-sd2vi]

Its so cute. A bit to small for my taste though.

[@odalv7278]

No mention on midi capability… is it midi mappable to control VST/or midi equipment?

[@65Drums]

Yup, all electronic drums since the 90s have MIDI built in. this kit does MIDI over USB C if i remember correctly

[@VDJ4500]

@@65Drums thank you, that would be the only feature i wished to be demoed more in depth as this vastly improves/expands the drum’s limited presets & sounds.. that is just ok..

[@theEdgeCrusher12]

1:39 Hey I see @ZackGrooves jamming!

[@claudiopinto8327]

I have roland kit with digital hats and snare . I use to have td30kv, I'm thinking of trade my 504 roland for this one. What do you all think? Should I ?

[@johndef5075]

Im used to long term Roland reliability. Nonecof these kits or components have been out long enough to compare. But they do look and sound good.

[@jms3937]

Will the 14” bass drum hold on using double pedal and playing metal music??

[@listener84]

Very well, they hooked up the double pedal on Saturday and it was rock solid

[@jms3937]

@@listener84 thanks! Greetings from Costa Rica, pura vida!

[@bigsquatchsasfoot1964]

For me the fact that it only has one option to expand is no ! you can play any kind of mesh head electronic kit at these sizes now and I’m sure you could save a fortune on cost of this probably. don’t really see the point of this kit really and it not really winning any races in the look’s department! But each to his own I guess 👍

[@davodrums]

Or you could just use a Roland Handsonic and take up even less space, with heaps more sounds. 😉

[@JG-nx3jg]

Roland sounds though:(

[@davodrums]

@@JG-nx3jg Handsonic sounds are awesome. Better than their modules.

[@BFedie518]

This does not matter in the slightest, but I think it's amusing you said "iPhone or Android phone" but for music it's only "Spotify."

[@kevinswan8311]

Cables the end is nigh

[@Andrew-wb2zq]

it's so wittttle

[@alexfeigmusic]

65 drums cuz you’re 6’ 5”?

[@65Drums]

lol no the height is just a coincidence. Back when I started, every drum channel name I came up with already existed somewhere online, which was really annoying. So I got desperate and decided to include a number in the name to make it unique and not get sued. But I wanted to make the number I used meaningful to me in some way. So the "65" is a Bible verse that mentions cymbals (2nd Samuel 6:5)

[@alexfeigmusic]

That’s pretty cool, no such thing as coincidence in my opinion. I like Psalm 150 as well, makes me wonder about the types of instruments and music that was played, plus it mentions the firmament 😉

[@FredElijah-x3o]

4497 Lorenzo Neck

[@mookiiieeee]

Overpriced probably

[@steevidrums]

Unless they’re ditching the 3, I’d guess it would have to be way under $2000, I’m gonna guess somewhere around the $1500 - $1750 mark. otherwise the 3 is a better option as a kit.

[@ArtesiaProNorthAmerica]

@@steevidrums It will most likely land around 2K, $200 less that the EFD3.

[@ironblast5]

If its over $1500 its too much

[@JustanEdrummer]

2499€ in Europe so…

[@ArtesiaProNorthAmerica]

@@ironblast5 It will fall around 2K USD, which is a very fair price. playing is believing, as was the case at NAMM. it sold itself. What $1,500 kit are you comparing it to?

[@johntherat339]

meh

[@tagacale1733]

Ef that

[@Kik_Hat_Sne]

Sorry, I forgot to mention. Great review. 🙏
