Though still a relatively new player in the electronic drum market, EFNOTE has quickly made a name for itself with innovative, high-quality kits. DrumSpy had the opportunity to review the EFNOTE 5X a few years back, and we thought the kit was an impressive competitor. Since then, EFNOTE has been busy rolling out a wide range of drum sets with multiple configurations to meet the needs of drummers at every level. Their latest release, the Pro 703X, blends cutting-edge technology with thoughtful design, delivering an electronic drum kit that stands out in an increasingly competitive field.

EFNOTE made waves early in 2023 by announcing 15 configurations of its PRO series kit simultaneously. This lineup included models like the 500 Standard, 503 Power, and the flagship 707 Complete—each catering to different styles of drummers. Justin from 65 Drums praised the 707 Complete for its massive size, impressive sound, and innovative Stage Box that streamlined input and output management, calling it his favorite drum set of the year.

DrumSpy was also on hand at NAMM 2023, where EFNOTE’s Michael Bedard gave us a detailed walkthrough of the Pro series along with a breakdown of all their current kits. While we didn’t get to test the EFNOTE Pro firsthand, Bedard’s demonstration showcased the kit’s flexibility and powerful features, setting the tone for what drummers can expect from their latest offerings. This relentless pace of innovation has set EFNOTE apart, continually expanding its range to meet the needs of drummers who demand versatility, precision, and cutting-edge technology.

Unmatched Control with the Stage Box and Pro Module
One of the most innovative features of the EFNOTE Pro 703X is its two-part system—the Stage Box and Pro module—designed to offer drummers unprecedented control and flexibility. The Stage Box provides 12 XLR outputs, enabling direct connectivity to mixing consoles, which reduces interference and bleed from other instruments on stage. This setup ensures pristine audio, perfect for live performances and studio recording. All connections are placed on the ground, not awkwardly hanging from the kit, for a streamlined and organized setup. Drummers have complete control over each channel and can fine-tune EQ, compression, and levels for every drum and cymbal.

The Pro module features 12-channel USB multi-track recording, Bluetooth for easy connectivity, and support for up to 7 shells and 8 cymbals. It also includes the powerful ELISE Sensing Processor 2.0, ensuring a natural and responsive playing experience, and a high-powered headphone amp for precise monitoring. The system comes with legendary drum set samples, a diverse cymbal collection, and instrument expansion capabilities for drummers seeking to expand their sound library.
