Millenium MPS-1000 | In-Depth Demo | Thomann

[@TrentBattyDrums]

I’ll be triggering with a vst anyway, after owning a td17 and not liking the sizes of the drums, this kit is literally my dream kit. Triggering sounds great and I didn’t hear any dead hits in your playing. The extra stand for the module is amazing and especially the 18” ride, which I had to upgrade separately on my Roland. The fact that these are real shells and look great is astounding to me at under $1000. Thank you so much millennium for this amazing kit!! And great review!!

[@jerryluna7331]

Min 3:53 You played L’enfant Sauvage!!! OMG!! that’s a nice touch. Also the drum kit is really cool. Definitely looking forward to get one!

[@sRichterMusic]

Besides the sounds honestly this is such a great kit, having an 18" ride for 990€ is such a great feature, also we can always edit the sounds even if this takes time, thanks a lot millenium and thomann !

[@zensezy468]

you can use ezdrummer for better sound

[@donaldlegate6377]

This kit is great. I have been looking at electronic drums for a long time. I'm sold I am buying these. Great job. Well done.

[@valentinvelevski2133]

It looks and sounds good. It's nice that there is an option for another pad and another crash. It's always better with more elements to play on. I'm considering buying these E-Drums. Thanks for the presentation. 🤘🍺

[@pauldrumstimelessmusic1069]

Great review! I hope this kit will be available in Canada sometime. This is a great option without having to spend thousands. Module has a lot of useable features for the price range. This will make gigging more interesting with real look drums instead of tiny discs.

[@simus35]

you can order from there site(they can ship to Canada) because is a brand names for there music store only and you will never find in other music store

@@daveg4236 I ordered the mps-850 from Canada and they arrived in spectacular condition and play very well! I am looking to upgrade the module so I can attach a 3 zone snare, expand the kit, and add the millenium nonapad drum sample to it as well.

[@gabrieldillon11]

Absolutely an amazing piece of kit Simon

[@hdfloyd]

You know even with the 4K Roland VAD kit that is not perfect and the sounds not all that great, this right here is a GREAT alternative for sure as most would be using it as a practice kit anyways.

[@imwatchinya]

Great video! Love the fact that you can get 5 shells & 3 cymbals and hardware for under €/£1000 shame about the sounds but think bigger millenium! you may have got on par with an alesis module but you still need to smash 2Box & roland.

[@ppaweluz]

Great review! Thank you! I got two questions 1. There is a mash pad on a bass drum, it does not affect the sound of playing with double bass pedal? No extra sounds etc when playing fast? 2. Does the modul have any trraining features? Roland and Yamaha have so colled Rytm Gates, so first of all it shows you on the screen your accutacy when you play with metrenome, or yamaha could even cut out the sound if played out of time. Does this module have anything similar? Thank you!!

[@fobdfobd]

Can’t see the link to the Bonham kit that you mention in the video - it’s not in the description

[@lovesomeome13]

Great sounding kit for this price point it's honestly unbelievable for under a grand and it comes with all the hardware! Most don't come with hi hat stand, pedal for the bass and at these sizes for the toms! It's gonna be a contender for sure with other drum modules especially since it is a conversion sort of kit! Truly amazing price honestly! I do have a question Is it compatible with other drum modules like Roland td 17 module?

[@MrMyMRI]

Please anyone answer! Especially if the bad latency of 10 milliseconds would be cured by another module. Important question for me!

[@brashy1975]

I was wondering the same thing. I have a pearl mimic pro.

[@andresacuna1632]

En teoría si se podría utilizar con otro módulo Roland, por ahí he vistos con la batería Millenium mps 1000 con módulo td17

[@Kasi4ever666]

[@daveg4236]

So...2 years later- how are these holding up for those who have them? I am looking at picking these up and we gig a lot so we need something durable. Both hardware and the brain. Thanks

[@richardpenrose1968]

This kit is almost perfect for my requirements. The only deal breaker is the rim and cross-stick are triggered from the same zone at different velocity layers. I really wish they cross-stick was triggered from a different area of the rim like the Yamaha XP80 from their DTX Kits!

[@jerryluna7331]

[@michaeloconnell1138]

Great stuff Simon! Thanks 🙂

[@alecualex5920]

How loud is the sound in the room? What is actually heard when you hit the drums and how loud?

[@astrecks]

You can still annoy your neighbours with this kit! The mesh pads on the toms and snare would be similar to drumming on cushions or pillows. The kick pedal will vibrate through the floorboards without any dampening. The cymbals and drum rims are noisy and similar to a drum practice pad. I'm assuming you'd like to know how the kit sounds unamplified.

[@mgyver007]

Just wondering if you play this with headphones, is the sound others hear minimal or do the drums make noise?

[@beginnerdrummer43]

Hi, its possible to add video how loud its without connection? It's similar like electronic drum kit ? I'm looking something to our flat . Let me know if possible Thank you

[@denesszabo]

Same question is here. How loud it without amplification?

[@amandachassagne2214]

Great performance and instruments!!!

[@robertramirezmusic]

Hi. I'm thinking about learning to play drums and buy my first kit, so sorry for my really silly question. Why the snare in moving all the time while you play it? I can see that toms keep stable while you hit them but snare doesn't (seems disturbing to me). Is that because an unstable fixation of this kit or it's a normal thing in every kit? Thank's for your fantastic video!

[@ThomannsDrumBash]

Hi Robert. I think this is because I am a pretty heavy hitter 😅😅😅 so if you don’t play that hard it will not move at all. //Simon

[@Epicurus48]

Btw im pretty late but even acoustic kits do that, its not an exclusive thing and it doesnt mean its not sturdy

[@violetfears]

Hi! Direct Outputs is balanced? Awesome review!

[@eDrumsInANutshell]

Wooow. I like those low priced kits. This looks awesome. Huge cymbals. I got the MPS 850 Xmas 2019. I would really like to now, what trigger system is used... Center mounted or not. Anyway, our MPS-850 pads are still working.

[@ronaldofilgueira9937]

Exellent introduction...thanks

[@okjames2954]

This is pretty good for the price. You get alot of nice features. It can work as a shell-based practice kit and if you mess around with some fx and editing outside the module, you could have lo-fi/indie drum sounds. Right out of the box, it doesn’t sound great but if you are creative and think differently, you could make this work.

[@wm1573]

I don't think a good e drum exists where you wouldn't need ezdrummer/addictive drums etc. Unless you have 12k to put into an e kit. It doesn't matter if the built in sounds are bad

[@OktoPulse]

Hello Simon ! two questions about that new set : - Is the charleston sensitive to hit when closing it AND opening it? (when you hit it and release it right after)? Also, is the USB working correctly to set on VST on computer, as its the only midi signal out apparently? Do the software get the signals easily? ezdrummer etc through ableton. Thanks

[@ThomannsDrumBash]

Hi OktoPulse. Thanks for the comment. 1. What exactly do mean with charleston, or was that a typo mistake? 2. Yes the USB is working correctly with a VST Plugin on the Computer. There is a video coming pretty soon exactly about that topic! //Simon

[@OktoPulse]

@@ThomannsDrumBash Thanks for your answer, I meaned HiHats (Charleston is the word we use in france for it, sorry ;) ). Basically while most Hihasts work fine with the cllosing sound (if you hit it and close it right away), it's harder to get the other way around : to have the "opening sound" (hit and open right agter).. I hope its clear, and looking forward for the video ! I like what i see in this one, maybe just the snare looks a bit loosy like moving aroung when you play it.. cheers!

[@elsoundgarden]

@@ThomannsDrumBash I'm waiting for that video before I make my purchase. I use SD3

[@FultonStreetBeats]

Too bad Thomann has no shipping option for me with this kit in the USA. I went to purchase it just now, and it won't let me.

[@micheletedesco7836]

Is it possibile to use it with a roland Module? (For example TD-17)? At least pads like toms and snare.

[@andyblank2139]

Yes, I am pretty sure you can, but the more expensive Roland modules may require a specialist cable from Roland for the cymbals to work properly (I believe they have a resistor built into them?). I use a Millenium MPS-850 with a Roland TD-6V module and it work a treat, but the TD-6V is an older Roland module.

[@natural8elements852]
