Great video! I am planning on using EZD3 with my Efnote 7 module. Could you tell me what your MacBook specs are? Trying to decide whether a model with 8GB RAM will be sufficient.
@BearvswolfАй бұрын
I have an M1 macbook pro with 16GB Ram and i think its 10GB video card. For just the drums alone i dont see why you would have any issues w 8GB. For what its worth. I have used every major virtual drum library. EZ drummer was by far my least favorite sounds. Addictive drums is very natural. Steven Slate is very polished sounding with lots of options. GGD is also very “finished” sounding. I did not like EZ drums patches at all in comparison. Just one guys opinion…

Just hook it up like u do a guitar. Be cool if one could record the cymbals and drums on separate tracks, but record them at the same time. Like one track just has the highs and the other has the lows

You obviously have an upgraded snare pad I can’t imagine you’ll be getting those ghost notes! Did you keep this kit? I remember Roland marketing this kit as having a carrying bag to go gig with.

Unrelated, as I dont know much about cameras. Curious if you use an amp/monitor with your efnote? Also what practice books do you recommend (seeing the sheet music you have there). Thanks!

Occasionally, when I teach lessons on it. Any type of PA speaker would work well. Im a fan of Yamaha. 10” is probably enough in a small space. For hands: Stick Control, Rudimental Cookbook. For drum set: Gary Chester New Breed. Alfred’s Drumset method. The art of Bop Drumming (if that’s your thing). 🤘

I occasionally teach with one. I use a little 10 inch alto. Just because its light and i can set it up easily. I love yamaha PA speakers in general. But I also think a nice mixing set of speakers 5”, 7” maybe would sound nice in stereo. Some JBL or KRK or equivalent. Depends how loud you need it to go.

I love it. No need for anything else really. I have two acoustic kits. This is purely for practice and getting recording ideas down. I may get the larger snare one day but i dont really need it. I plan to make a “5 things I like” type of video after owning it a year. Hopefully soon.

@Bearvswolf4 ай бұрын
I actually dont own EZD3. I had a demo that I used for the video. I think I just used the template for like a Roland V drums kit. TD12 or TD20 maps usually work just fine for the efnote kit.
@MidAgeDruma4 ай бұрын
@@Bearvswolf thank you very much, i will try :) so far there is not any content on efnote vs ezd specifically. At least now i know that it worked for you so i can make the purchase of ezd3. I have an extended efnote 5 kit, still discovering as it is new, but am not the fun of the kits inside, i liked the studio F and modified it a little bit by changing the bass drum and playing with the pad levels as ride was too loud especially. So, ezd3 will be a big development to have. Anyway, maybe i can shoot a video to map the ezd3 with efnote 5, with your suggested roland kits and maybe trying with atv drums as i saw some others suggested so. Thanks again!
@JF-ym8ll4 ай бұрын
Great video. I ended up getting the Efnote 7 in December. A few thoughts re this video. I agree with you. I don't ever notice machine gunning in a way that would throw me off while practicing. I can see how if folks are analyzing the audio on any given video, it would be more direct, and easy to hear imperfections. For me, I'm uninterested anyway in just using audio samples in a recording, but the access to frequent, really enjoyable quality practice time that the Efnotes allow me. I'm a songwriter who likes to play drums, but whose main instrument is guitar and bass. It is easy for me to write and record drum parts for a song, but since getting the Efnotes I've been able to practice so much more that my skill as an actual drummer, and not just someone composing parts on the drums, has increased substantially. I'm moving to a townhouse from a single family, though. And I noticed that you are using the Efnotes in an apartment. I was a bit worried that the tapping, really on the cymbals, and perhaps the bass drum, might be a problem in the townhouse. But given that it is an end unit, and only has one shared wall, and I have a contained room away from that shared wall, and the thing has a firewall, I think I'll be fine. But was wondering if you have any stuff to share about your experience playing these in an apartment setting? Have you had any neighbor issues, or do you have any tips for keeping tapping sounds from translating? I'm thinking of some fiberglass compressed boards and a few sound blankets that other drummers have recommended.
@Bearvswolf4 ай бұрын
Yea I think the machine gunning thing is overblown in general. I have played a very long time. And i would have never noticed had nobody mentioned it. I have never had any complaints. However, my place is on the ground floor. With one shared wall and one place above me. I also have a “musicians” schedule. So when I am usually playing and recording nobody is around during the day. I think the loudest part is the bass drum. Which you could always stuff with blankets or something. But yea I have never had issues.

Is there a specific map preset you use for the ef note 5 on Addictive Drums?
@Bearvswolf4 ай бұрын
I was planning to do a video on that next . Because efnote is generally not included in these VSTs. But for Addictive I just choose the TD-12 map. I think the only thing that didn’t map was the splash. But its easy enough to change in settings. Esp if you use Logic you can see the incoming midi note on the top bar. Near the bars and beats section. Then just switch whichever cymbal you want to map to that incoming midi note to assign to the splash.
