Something that's not disclosed in this video that I feel is important to mention: Millenium is one of Thomann's own brands, so there is likely to be some bias in this video. That's not to take away from the impressive value of this kit, similar to how Harley Benton manages to make their instruments such high quality for their price range, but always keep some level of skepticism in mind.

[@DK6MP]

Thanks for your Time , i will buy the Mlilenium MPS 850 for my son to Christmas . Your comparing help me a lot !

[@pernielsen3445]

Just bought the 850 used for 400 euro, almost as new :) cant wait to try it!

[@ryandebeer4226]

Thanks Simon. I'm about to get the Millenium MPS 850 from Thomann. They're amazing. These Yamahas remind me of the old Roland TD6KV.

[@williamperri3437]

The Yamaha modules phenomenal that sounds better than the new Roland TD 17

[@ssm1732]

Thank you for the video, I chose the MPS 850 over Yamaha purely for the amount of hardware you get

[@drummermomcjs]

Thank you for this video! You have introduced me to the Millenium brand of drums and what a find! Based upon this video, it seems that the best value of the two would be the MPS-850. Getting the Millenium MPS-850 and Toontown Superior Drummer3 would sound better than the Yamaha kit and for about the same price you get the huge library of drumkits that Superior Drummer has. I strongly believe that this Millenium kit may just be the electronic kit that suits me best at this time. I have desired the Roland TDK17 but it is out of my price range. This kit, I believe I can swing and it seems like it would meet my needs nicely. Once again, a very useful video indeed!

Gerne mehr E-Drum Vergleiche ;-) Sehr gutes Video!

[@ThomannsDrumBash]

Danke dir! Welchen Vergleich würdest du denn gerne sehen wollen? //Simon

[@e-drumwelt3827]

@@ThomannsDrumBash Ich denke, dass gerade Anfänger von E-Drum Vergleichen profitieren, also wäre mein Vorschlag: Millenium MPS-450 vs Alesis Nitro. Schöne Grüße Yannick

[@burakkaragoz4634]

Very good comparison thank u. Im also wondering that new flagship Yamaha Dtx 10kx vs same price tag Roland kits. Best regards.

[@gabrieldillon11]

Another great vid Simon. I know which one i would pic if I had the money.... Millennium!

[@ThomannsDrumBash]

Thank you Gabe! Glad you like it. //Simon

[@CatWezel66]

Thanks for this review. I like the sound of the Millennium more because the sound is more closer to the classic drum 😁

[@haslahali746]

Same!

[@nonyabusiness6084]

[@monkedonke96]

I’m just wondering What other electronic snare drums or rides can you swap out the Millenium mps 850s with

[@CatWezel66]

Hi, thanks for this comparing video. Can you put another drum monitor on the Millennium PPS-850?

[@PooNinja]

The triple pitch fork on something means quality in my book. 👍🏽tell ya momma I said Yamama, with a millennium dual kick pedal🤘🏽

[@seniorbeat7239]

Thanks for doing that comparison. Really appreciated. I have an acoustic kit and it's two rooms away from a party wall and twice in 17 years my neighbour has complained about the noise. I suspect it's because they have retired and they are at home more. I tried installing some sponge acoustic panels but still hasn't worked, so been debating about getting an MPs 850. Wondered if you are able to confirm the dB comparison of an acoustic kit verses the MPs 850? I know that can depend on hard a hitter the drummer is especially when it comes to playing acoustic kits. Wondered what your view is on this? Thanks

[@petermcnallt12pm]

Get headphones the it won't matter...a small amp will never be as loud as a real kit. Also, a real kit now has amazing silent cymbals and heads, have come on leaps and bounds in recent years. Or buy triggers, keep your real kit and turn it 'electric'

[@ModernLove100]

I honestly like the feel of those dtx pads.

[@SilverMusicAndGaming]

its a preference thing he kinda pretended was an upgrade, its a marketing strategy, while some will swear by it others still prefer rubber pads so. just do you and jam on

[@mototopo43]

Yamaha DTX6K-X top the best !!

[@roberts.4110]

4:26 They sounds excellent.

[@bltbeats3867]

Hallo, lässt sich das MPS-850 auch mit einem Doppel Bass Pedal spielen?

[@thatboiewanc1645]

My question is can you use the module of the 850 to change cymbal pads, for example if i wanted the right most crash to sound like a china could i do that?

[@MrRegimontano]

I have a millenuim mps 850 and it is extraordinary and more for the price I use it with ezdrummer 3 and it has no comparison at least in the one I have had

[@nickmanolas]

Hello ! Which sound card do have and is there any latency ? Thanks

[@alexandrhekkub1311]

@@nickmanolas Hi! I'm use PreSonus AudioBox iTwo. No any latency, because this card have hardware asio support

[@mateuszdujanowicz9030]

Hey! I have a problem of choosing a set to buy between mps-850 and mps-750x. I don't actually need extra tome and crash which come with 850, so my question is- is 750x's module better than 850? And is it overall quality improved?

[@EqDior]

im wondering why this question is hardly ever answered?

[@offshot1st]

I wanna here A/B of some double strokes rolls, / ghost notes in demos like this. I often found the cheaper kits dont pick em up...

[@m-create]

Is the idea, if I choose the maps 850, to get the sound handled by a software on the Mac oder iPad a good workaround to get a better sound? or is there some hardware, limiting the result compared to Yamaha?

[@ThomannsDrumBash]

You definitely can connect the mps 850 to your computer. I did it in a couple of other videos. For example the Periphery Groove Video. //Simon

[@ryanmiddleton8514]

Would like to see a direct comparison between the MPS 850 and the MPS 750X with the Expansion pack. With the same amount of drums and cymbals, which is the better package? Also can I use my own hi-hat stand with the 850 if I already have a really good one from an acoustic kit?

[@Trottelheimer]

I've been pondering the same question. In the end the 805's module having DIN MIDI in and out decided it for me. AFAIK the hi-hat stand is standard, so you can use your own.

[@how2pick4name]

All I want to know is how the hi hat sounds after you hit it closed and then open it up and after watching a ton of these vids I still don't know because I have seen nobody actually do that. :O You know, funky drummer. Snoopy's search Red Baron by Billy Cobham? No? lol

[@joachimserra1066]

I will take the millenium MPS-850

[@benirodriguez9516]

MPS-850 all the way "IF" you got a pc/mac and run Superior Drummer or other VST for it.

[@djbaz9850]

I think the 850 looks and feel better

[@haslahali746]

In my opinion the mps-850 sounds better! Well no matter, you can use your own presets and make them sound what ever you like! :D

[@TKbeatwerk]

It does not at all are you even a drummer

[@haslahali746]

@@TKbeatwerk What "does not at all?" and sure I am.. played about 25 years. For The last 17 years I've Been more in to guitar but still playing both. Piano wasn't My thing.. tryed it for a couple of years but wasn't my thing.

[@haslahali746]

@@TKbeatwerk - Oh, 25 years, in my case would mean I started playin at around 7 year old.. daily at least.

[@TKbeatwerk]

@@haslahali746 the Yamaha module has actual real samples whilst the mellienum rips ones from Chinese manufacturers and such. Yamaha is better sound quality

[@haslahali746]

@@TKbeatwerk - It doesn't matter.. I mean who the hell would use the module sounds anyway.. even if you got Rolands? Our drum module is connected to the usb-interface via MIDI and we use the sounds of a virtual instrument.. in our case EZDRUMMER 3. We also have a ton of presets we recorded in an actual professional drum recording studio and we can use those sounds also. Either way.. our drums sound always like they're already mixed and mastered in an a-class studio and we don't really have to do anything to the sounds themselves.

[@essenter4222]

Wait, so basically Yamaha isn't really much louder than mesh pads

[@ThomannsDrumBash]

Hey! No it actually isn’t. 😅 //Simon

[@is_what_it_is]

Bought the MPS-850. Not too happy about it. They shipped the wrong power supply and told my to go find one locally because it's too expensive for them to ship one. Offered me $5.00. Cost me $20.00 at the store. Any other company would've apologized and sent me one overnight. Then I find out they gave me the worthless hi hat controller as in this video which does not use the Y adapter that is supposed to be included. Has only open/close/splash. No in between so it's nearly impossible to get a decent hi hat sound. The snare drum is super quiet compared to everything else, even when cranked up with the faders and everything lowered in volume. It also has super low output that I need to run through my audio interface with the gain and levels maxed out. I guess I should've spent more and bought from a real company like Roland or Yamaha. I'll never deal with the Germs again, their customer service stinks.

[@williamperri3437]

If I was promoting this company I wouldn’t have compared it to Yamaha. The Yamaha sounds way better.

[@DrummerGrrrl]

Yamaha alllllll the way. Sorry, but Yamaha e-kits are great.

[@eskotaivassalo6426]

Millenium sounds better!

[@anakbaliti]

Machine gunning on the yamaha flagship module? Lol

[@TKbeatwerk]

There is a lot of bias in this vid. They chose a kit not even similar to the mps 850 as it has no standalone high hat. Buy from hxm their Chinese manufacturers!!

[@ThePowerchimp]

Apples to Oranges comparison. The Yamaha is superior in every respect. This is also the entry level DTX6 kit - the K-2X adds a full, free-standing hi-hat and newer, premium kick pad. The only negative to the DTX6 range is the small pads.

[@raymiller8994]

The 850 won't last near as long as the Yamaha and the Yamaha will hold its value. By the way let's think about what we are doing here people. We're beating something with sticks. You get what you pay for take a Yamaha cymbal and a millennium cymbal and just beat the hell out of then. I guarantee you the Yamaha cymbal will prevail or a roland for that matter. Why do you think a 16 inch roland cymbal cost as much as your whole millennium kit your beating something with sticks don't skimp on quality

[@raymiller8994]

And millennium ,Alesis ,Berhinger and Simmons cymbals are all made by the same company there junk. Do you homework guys and gals

[@mill6623]

really??? I was looking for an e drum and thought millennium was the best choice... good thing i found your comment

[@johndef5075]

I actually have one of those cymbals. I didnt know it was Millennium til I saw this video. Its a pos. Always self choking. I take it apart and clean it but always goes back to messing up.

[@Zaher74]

I've had this cymbal for over a year, never had any problems. But ofc I can't talk for everybody

[@Trottelheimer]

Man, you're aging fast - last vid I saw your hair was dark, now it's grey... :-p
