I ordered this drumkit recently. The pads are quite sensitive and well placed. It plays nicely. There are a ton of silly little songs on it, but they are excellent to play along for practice. Now the settings buttons are not the easiest to navigate, but once you get the hang of it you can quickly change sounds and volumes. I have not yet figured out to change the volume of the metronome separately (to change speed and how many beats in a measure is no problem though!). Also you can change the volume of the individual pads and save it to a usersetting. But I didn't found a way to change these pad-volumes definitely. So for example what happens is that if you go on to a different song, automatically the device also switches to the drum kit that fits with the song. But then all the standard settings of that drumkit come with it and your own settings are overriden. So that is a bit of an annoyance. Fortunately if you get a bit good with sound / page buttons you can quickly edit some things around in a few seconds. The huge annoyance for me though is the small foot switches. These are absolutely terrible. I knew this when I bought the thing, so I ordered a yamaha KU100 footpedal with it. But unfortunately the thing does absolutely nothing when plugged into the MD-100........... So I am now asking thomann whats up with this. Incompatible? But when there is an electric footpedal that actually works I can see myself quickly learning some drums and recording with this device, no problem.

Thank you for the review! 👍 I faced the problem with the kick pedal too (I tried to connect the Millenium HD-120 trigger pedal but that didn't work). I hope Thomann can give some advice about this, could you please let me know what their answer is?

The texture of the snare drum mesh head at bottom right is different from the other 3 toms mesh heads. Did you change or repair the mesh head?

[@electronicdrumkit]

Hi, no it's the same but it looks different because of the light. It was recorded on a sunny day 😎

[@guitaristicmusic]

@@electronicdrumkit Ok, Thanks 😎👍

[@joaoluis654]

Do you know if a bass drum pad (triggered by mechanical kick pedal) would work well with this kit? I'm asking because the included pedals are... quite shite, tbh - zero sensitivity and double-triggering all the time.

[@electronicdrumkit]

Yes the quality of the pedals isn't very good. For hands this kit is good though. I connected a kick trigger to the MD-90, that didn't work unfortunately. Maybe Millenium can answer your question.

[@SuperheroJunior]

​@@electronicdrumkit I have a question. Is this millennium drumkit better than the Yamaha dd75?

[@electronicdrumkit]

I haven't reviewed the DD-75 yet, but I will in the future. Yamaha is a better brand in terms of quality and durability, so I think it will be.

[@guitaristicmusic]

I already know the MD-90 and I know that the MD-100's pedals aren't as good (but it wouldn't be a problem for me to change them). But my question concerns the noise emitted by the drumstick strokes on the pads: Mesh pads are certainly less noisy than rubber ones, but what about 3.5” cymbal pads? Are the strokes on the cymbal pads of the MD-100 louder or quieter than those of the MD-90, or is it the same? (Does the body of the drum kit resonate more or less than the MD-90 when the cymbals are struck?). Thanks in advance for any clarification. Incidentally, I'd like to suggest that you systematically include the acoustic noise emitted by electronic drums in your tests. It's an important selection criterion when you live in an apartment... 🙂

[@electronicdrumkit]

Good idea! I'll see if I can include those videos in the future. Regarding the kit: the cymbals are pretty much the same in terms of noise compared to the MD-90.

[@guitaristicmusic]

@@electronicdrumkit Thanks for your answer. I'm asking myself these questions, as I don't have much space, and I'm looking for a cheap solution with meshpads, so I've selected the two products you suggest: - The Millenium MD-100 - The Gear4Music VISIONDRUM (identical to the “Millenium Rookie E-Drum Set”, by the way) But on the VISIONDRUM/Rookie, what's noisy are the hard plastic cymbals, apparently even noisier than the cymbal pads on the MD-90/MD-100…

[@electronicdrumkit]

A full kit is always better than a mobile drum. I don't remember how noisy the Rookie was, but if you want I can look up the original video with camera sound (the sound people in the room will hear) and post it

[@guitaristicmusic]

@@electronicdrumkit Oh, thank you for your attention, it's a great idea! 🙂

[@bumpybimmer5264]

Is it worth getting the MD-100 rather than the MD-90?

[@electronicdrumkit]

I preferred the MD-90 because the pedals are much better, even though the MD-100 has more sounds and looks better.

[@joaoluis654]

​@@electronicdrumkitYep, the pedals on this kit are a crime

[@Blacksmith1967]

The sound we hearing in this video is that from the internal speakers or what...?

[@electronicdrumkit]

It's the same sound you hear with headphones on 😉

[@caskstrength7629]

Can you play them with hands too?

[@electronicdrumkit]

Yes it has "hand perc" mode 🙌

[@caskstrength7629]

@@electronicdrumkit Thanks for quick response 👍🏼
