In 2018, a group of skilled engineers who had developed and innovated the electronic drum category for the last 20 years decided to pursue a different path. A fluid approach to developing electronic drums was needed, after feeling the limits of working for a leading Japanese musical instrument manufacturer. A place where they could throw the constraints of cost and mass production out the window.
The EST-3X is a premium 6 piece Mesh head Electronic drum kit featuring TRU-ACO sampled sounds. USB and Bluetooth connectivity, Multi Zone drums and cymbals. Includes hardware KIT A+C*, Deluxe bass drum pedal, drum throne, hi hat stand and sticks.

This is an amazing edrum set. two piece hats feel great, I think it's the only kit with that in compact form factor - definitely at this price point. All the drums/cymbals respond well out of the box, hit velocity feels right and no crosstalk. In-built drum sounds are great. Most other kits at this price point to not include kick pedal, hihat or snare stand, the A+C kit includes all three but the quality is not the standard of the rest of the kit. I struggled to find online specifications for the A+C kit. The images on the website show DW3000 double kick and hat stand, let me assure you it's not that. All are very basic and the first thing I'm upgrading. It is nice that is is functional out of the box, but if you're dropping 4k on a kit you probably don't want it brought down by cheap accessories.

Great kit!
Looks & feels solid and has a great sound! Hi-hat & cymbals are a highlight. Only had the kit for 4 days so haven’t tested the full functionality of the module just yet but it is intuitive and so far easy to use. Would recommend this kit for intermediate and advanced drummers. I don’t need 50 programmed kits when the sound of the ones included in the ef note 3X are that good.

Great service!
Was pretty hesitant from purchasing something this expensive from interstate but i was really put at ease by the people at Better music. Credit to them. Stores in Melbourne really need to pick up their game!

Wonderful Kit, Perfect Service
This is well worth the money. The 3X is the way to go. Having a fully operational high-hat makes all the difference. The fourth tom makes playing along to any band more enjoyable. The kit customisations are amazing. Once saved, I can flick from a Primus sounding setup over to some live Slipknot feel, a studio The Doors sound and back to something poppy and light. So easy to customise and save. Highly recommend a double kick pedal of quality as the standard single kick is pretty basic. I just bought a good quality Tama Speed Cobra and it works fine for regular use (30 mins each day). The standard seat it comes with is terrible, like actually back pain terrible. Buy a quality seat asap or as I find best, a customised high quality computer chair bottom. Way better than a stool- Better for big guys. Other than that, goes hard, feels great and works fine with Beats headphones and iPhone setup. Also amazing with pro sound gear obviously. The only reason I didn’t go higher up the ladder of electric kits is due to space and styling. I like a compact setup and not an emulation acoustic kit look. This seems to be the best compact and yet pro sounding e-kit I found. Oh, and BetterMusic service- 100%! Easy online buy, fast shipping, brilliant communication throughout the entire process. -Took 45mins to setup from boxes. Hopefully my review helps save you hours of Youtube reviewing time! ;)

Great value kit! Superb quality
Great value kit! Superb quality Sounded great out of box very little we had to tweak couple of weeks in now some minor tweaks and it’s sounding perfect
The only annoying thing is not being on a rack the loom is clumsy to deal with if we use it live other than that 10/10 in every way
