EFNOTE EFD-HC3 Hi-Hat Pedal for EFNOTE 3

Hi-Hat Pedal Designed for Realistic Electronic Drumming
The EFNOTE EFD-HC3 is a professional hi-hat controller pedal engineered for the EFNOTE 3 drum kit, delivering accurate and responsive foot control through advanced optical sensing and Tru-Motion technology. Built for players who expect realism from their electronic drum hardware, this pedal replicates the feel and motion of an acoustic hi-hat stand. Its customizable response and smooth action make it a reliable choice for serious drummers.

Compatible with EFNOTE and Select Third-Party Drum Kits
While designed specifically for the EFNOTE 3, the EFD-HC3 hi-hat pedal can also function with other compatible electronic drum modules that accept a 6-pin output. This makes it a versatile option for hybrid setups or drummers using multiple kits. The pedal’s universal functionality ensures reliable performance whether you’re using it as a replacement, upgrade, or secondary hi-hat controller.

Optical Sensing for Smooth, Lag-Free Operation
At the heart of the EFD-HC3 is an optical sensor system that replaces traditional contact-based switches. This design results in smoother operation, faster response, and greater durability over time. The absence of mechanical contact reduces wear and tear while ensuring consistent, latency-free signal processing for precise open, closed, and half-open transitions.

Customizable Feel with Tension and Stroke Adjustment
The pedal features adjustable spring tension and stroke gap settings, allowing drummers to fine-tune the pedal to their personal playing style. Whether you prefer a tight, quick feel or a looser, more gradual response, these adjustments provide the flexibility to match your acoustic hi-hat technique. This level of customization enhances control and comfort during long playing sessions.

Tru-Motion and Inertia Simulation for Acoustic-Like Feedback
EFNOTE’s Tru-Motion system simulates the physical motion and resistance of traditional hi-hat stands, offering realistic pedal feedback and pressure response. Paired with inertia weight simulation, the pedal feels grounded and natural, helping electronic players transition smoothly from acoustic setups. This makes it a dependable tool for expressive footwork, complex grooves, and advanced drumming techniques.

Durable Build with Streamlined Integration
The EFD-HC3 is built for long-term use with a robust chassis and streamlined design that fits comfortably in a wide variety of kit layouts. Its 6-pin output ensures clean connectivity to compatible drum modules, while its compact footprint minimizes clutter and maximizes setup efficiency—ideal for tight spaces, touring rigs, or home studios.
