EFNOTE Full kit

The EFNOTE 3X is the fully expanded version of the EFNOTE 3, featuring six mesh drum pads, four cymbal pads, and a real two-piece 14-inch hi-hat. EFNOTE's design philosophy emphasizes acoustic-style cymbal motion and high-resolution multi-sensor pads, making this an interesting alternative to the mainstream Roland/Yamaha options.
