EFNOTE EFD-C16 Splash Cymbal (16")

16-Inch Triple-Zone Crash Cymbal for Electronic Drum Kits
The EFNOTE EFD-C16 is a 16" electronic crash cymbal engineered for professional drummers who demand natural playability, responsive triggering, and acoustic-like feel from their e-drum setup. Built with a three-zone layout—bow, edge, and cup—it supports nuanced performance styles and dynamic control. This cymbal is designed to provide a realistic and satisfying crash experience whether you're playing on stage, in the studio, or in a hybrid acoustic-electronic configuration.

Accurate Triggering with 360-Degree Sensor Coverage
Featuring EFNOTE’s 360° multi-sensor system, the EFD-C16 provides full-surface triggering with precise detection no matter where the cymbal is struck. This flat sensing technology ensures that every stroke, from delicate brushwork to powerful hits, registers accurately. With full choke functionality, the cymbal allows for responsive dampening, closely mimicking the interaction of a real acoustic cymbal.

Triple-Zone Configuration Enhances Expressive Play
The EFD-C16 is equipped with bow, edge, and bell (cup) zones, giving you three distinct sound areas for enhanced musical articulation. Whether you're riding on the bow, crashing the edge, or striking the bell for accent, each area responds independently. This configuration expands your expressive range and allows for detailed sound layering, ideal for live drumming, programming MIDI instruments, or triggering layered samples.

Realistic Feel with Weight Simulation and Balanced Design
To ensure a lifelike response, the EFD-C16 includes internal weight simulation that replicates the swing and rebound of a real 16-inch crash cymbal. This gives drummers a natural sense of inertia, ideal for improving stick control and feel during longer performances or studio tracking. The surface features a hammered texture with engraved details that enhance grip and provide a professional appearance.

Dual TRS Outputs for Optimized Signal Routing
The cymbal features two independent 1/4" TRS outputs—one for the bow and edge zones, and one dedicated to the cup zone. This dual-output design enables compatibility with EFNOTE drum modules and most high-end electronic drum systems that support multi-zone triggering. It allows for cleaner separation of cymbal layers when mixing or routing signals in complex setups.

Built for Durability and Versatility in Modern Kits
With its strong build and responsive architecture, the EFD-C16 fits easily into modern electronic or hybrid drum kits. Whether you're upgrading your current e-cymbal array or building a new kit from scratch, this cymbal provides the expressiveness and realism needed for demanding studio work or high-pressure live performances. The combination of realism, reliability, and refined aesthetics makes it a smart choice for any serious drummer.
