Millenium MPS-1000 E-Drum Set

After years of not having a drumkit, i finally had space and cash to get something.

I decided on the mps-1000, the way i figured, its the newest set there for newest software and hardware, the kit looks great and it has the height of a normal drum kit meaning i would be able to use it comfortably at 2 meters tall.

It took a couple hours to unpack and assemble and right away i found the instruction manual to be lacking a little, however the online manual is more detailed and was able to provide enough instructions.

the hardware is average at best, when you try to adjust the cymbal booms for example you can really tell its not the best, it takes some "manhandling" to get it into position.

Right out of the box i ran into an issue where the toms weren't triggering, only on 1 very specific spot would the tom trigger, everywhere else would trigger the tom-rim, but this was easily resolved by doing a factory reset, So if anyone runs into this issue, try a factory reset.

The downside to buying such a recent kit is the lack of tutorials/information you can find online.

Now i've never owned a roland, so i cant compare it to those, my previous drumkit was a alesis DM6 and this is by far loads better.

I absolutely love the feel of the cymbals, the hi-hat is awesome, i find it responsive and dynamic.

I am very very happy with this purchase and cant wait to spend many many hours with my new kit!

Primarily a guitarist, but trying to improve my drumming over the course of the pandemic I purchased an MPS-850 about a year ago. It was pretty good but I wanted a kit that felt real and not so cramped. This one way exceeded my expectations. Looks, feels, and plays like real drums.

Couple of caveats here: I replaced the heads with Drum-Tec Real Feels, and I am using Superior Drummer 3 for the sounds.

Compared to the MPS-850, you are given more control over how the drums respond; greater control over sensitivity and dynamics compared to the MPS-850. Nearly flawless. This is also a double edged sword. It took some hours of fiddling with the settings of the hi-hat (mechanically, in the module, and in SD3) to get it working correctly. Now that it is triggering reliably, I am loving it. The hardware is nice enough. The kick pedal is much improved from the 850. Some kick patterns that I was having trouble with on the old set are now easy to play. The cymbals are fantastic. The sounds from the module are lackluster, but they are definitely an upgrade from the MPS-850.

All in all, I am very pleased with this kit. I was considering going with a VAD, but I am now glad I chose the budget option. At this price it can't be beat. Doesn't feel like it is lacking at all in terms of utility.

I highly recommend the MPS-1000. I love the size, it feels just like playing an acoustic kit. It's the perfect choice to have at home for practicing, doing drum covers or recording. The sounds are good too, and can be even better by modifying them to you liking. You can also easily connect it to your computer and use a DAW, or play along to your favorite track from your phone using Bluetooth or from you're MP3 Player using the Line In.

The MPS-1000 has everything you need to practice, doing drum covers or recording. There is nothing negative to say about it!

Thanks Thomann for this amazing kit!

After a solid year of playing this kit, alot of drum covers, a full unboxing video and metal playing, i can surely say this kit is the next best thing!
This is features a solid big bass drum that can easliy fit your double kick pedal with no trouble at all, no more moving the pedal and trying to fit it.

The toms and snare feel amazing and adjustable to your need.
The hardware is not the best but it is replacble and can be upgraded if needed, it is a basic kit, fit for those who are doing their first move into E-kits from acostic kits and are in need of the normal size drums.

The module do not offer alot of varity in sounds but has a great and easy UI to operate and interact with.

The packaging is great and came in 3 parcels, protected and secured.
The cymbals are great especilly the 3 zone ride, really smooth and has a nice dynamic range to it and same goes to the other cymbals.
The hi-hat is great as well not the best but will do.

In conclusion, if you are looking to have your first purchase of an E-Kit that will last you long, will provide you with better home training, help you master the drums and won't break your piggy bank,
THIS IS THE KIT FOR YOU!
