Millenium MPS-1000 E-Drum Set

Sanotaan lyhyesti että hinta/laatu suhteeltaan setti enemmän kuin yllätti todellakin positiivisesti.
Nyt soitellut noin puolivuotta kyseisellä setillä niin plussat ja miinukset.
+ Soittotuntuma erittäin hyvä kun virittää kalvot mieleisikseen
+ Monipuoliset soundit moduulissa ja paremmat kun jaksaa säätää
+ Monipuoliset liitännät (Helppo äänittää)

- Hit-hat ei aina tahdo rekisteröityä vaikka säätää herkkyyttä

Lyhyt ytimekäs mitä mielenpäällä oli..
Suosittelen ehdottomasti mikäli sähkörumpuja ostasmassa ja haluat akustista fiilistä.
EI voi mennä vikaan hinnaltaan ja laadultaan!

The drum kit has worked well for me for the past 3 years. I've appreciated how it's easy to play back sound from it, record it and the sound tweaking options. The one problem i have occasionally experienced is the hi-hat being open when it should be closed, with some tweaking I get it fixed. The other thing is if your specifically looking for a quite drum this one due to the big kick and the wood makes more sound than the average e-drum. Great drum overall which looks very nice, isn't for everyone but definitely matches it's price.

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!

My Son was looking at this kit and I have to say I was very sceptical about the purchase to begin with . I watched lots of YouTube reviews then decided lets give it a go...

Well We have been totally BLOWN AWAY by this kit. Not only does it look amazing, it also sounds amazing. Yes it doesn't sound like a real acoustic kit but its pretty damn close with some tweaking, I've owned a Yamaha mid range electric kit and this blows it out of the water. We were so impressed with it we've even added the extra 16" floor tom which has made this kit an absolute beast of a kit and my son is the envy of all his friends .

The stock sounds are great , but he's created his own kit and to be honest just sticks with it. Everyone moans about lack of variety but lets face it, if you buy an acoustic kit , that's your one sound. If you find an electric kit sound you like , you're probably just going to keep that sound too for the majority of the time,. However least with an electric kit you have the option of different presets should you want them.

I can review things like the backing tracks etc as its not something we use at all , likewise we have not used the features for uploading your own sounds etc, but from reviews I've seen that all works great. You will need to adjust things like sensitivity etc for the High Hats and Toms etc but once done its perfect and responsive and never misses a beat. Ghost notes work great , blast beats etc and my Son has even added a Set of Tama Speed Cobra's with Cobra coils and the double pedal response is amazing.

I only have two Negatives with this kit and they are very minor.

1. The little plastic lugs that stop the Cymbals Spinning on their stands have broke on both Cymbals. These snapped within two weeks of purchase and literally within days of each other, However we super Glued them back on and they have not come off since.

2 . The cables the come with the wiring loom are set lengths. Because of this you can only place the module in a certain area as the cables do not reach if you put the module anywhere else. It would be nice if ALL the cables were made the same extra long length so that the module could be placed anywhere around the kit, ie even behind the drummer. the inclusion of cable ties is excellent but these would be more beneficial if the cables were longer.

Other than that there really is nothing to complain about with this kit. NO WHERE ELSE will you get a kit of this quality at this price point. It looks great , sounds great, plays great and the additional items are excellent. you could even run two modules and build a huge kit.

What would be lovely is if Millenium / Thomann could invent an electric cowbell or some electric rototoms etc to add further expansion. Also maybe a couple more colour options

If you are hesitating about Buying this kit..... Dont ! Buy it , you will not regret it. The Alternative is £6k on a roland, which lets face it unless your fully pro that's a hard cost to justify , and you can buy 6 of these for that.

For your average drummer or even like my son who belts out everything from death metal , black metal to zappa and parkway drive, this kit is plenty and does it all. We love it .
