Millenium Rookie E-Drum Set

Our 5 years old daughter has set up board game boxes and was constantly playing on them 1 year ago when watching Youtube videos. Her motives haven't decreased for weeks so we started to think about buying an item on which she could start to learn. Yeah, I could tell it's great she need no board game boxes anymore, but it's really appropriate for satisfying this only goal.

The rims are really small, even for a little child, but the bigger problem is, the snare can't be turned toward the little drummer. So hitting the snare without touching the rim is quite a challenge. If You have a little fantasy You can alter the environment, e.g. I put the holding bracket of the snare on the left hand side where the hi-hat is (so it comes not from the front, rather from left, so the snare can be turned towards the drummer). The other problem with ergonomy is the weight. It's so lightweight, it always wandering in time and space, making an entire event unenjoyable. I holds more for the pedals, they're moving all around the neighbouhood. I had to make a plywood base under the whole unit and the chair routing the silhouette of the pedals and the holes for the knobs on the main rim.

The properties and sound are in a strong coherence, there are some predefined sounds but the volume levels are just simply ridiculous. The snare is barely audible when hi-hat is loud and harsh, and there's no EQ for tuning this very simple property. I think there's no need for (or no legit requirement of having) specific tuning features for an entry level instrument for a child, but the opportunity of altering the volume levels is a must have. And yes, for this price it should be an instrument, not a toy, it must not be an explanation.

As a summary, spare some further euros and buy something bigger for a child, he or she will grow into it, until then, You can add extra height under pedals, or boost the height of the seat itself, whatever. This e-drum can be useful, but only with major upgrades, not to mention the luck I have an FMR compression to even the volume levels a bit. Thus, it is bearable. But does a general user have a €300 extra unit, and does have the knowledge how to set it up for improving the sound of an e-drum which should be an inbuilt feature?

Les + :
- matériaux solides
- montage facile
- module pratique et intuitif
- baguettes fournies avec
- pads en mesh solide

Les - :
- cymbales en plastique rigide très bruyant
- peu de sons
- des options dans le module tres dispensables (les chansons pre enregistrées sont anecdotiques)
- pas de fauteuil
- réglage laborieux via un système de vis/clefs
- positionnement de la charley et de la caisse claire à revoir et peu pratique
- une fois installée, difficile a transporter sans tout démonter
- LE POINT NOIR : les fixations sont tellement cheap qu’il vous faudra constamment resserrer les vis sinon les pads finissent invariablement par bouger. Irritant, injouable et vraiment mal pensé.
Au final, un kit pour débutants tres abordable.
Le module aurait pu doubler le nombre de sons présents et les cymbales auraient pu être moins bruyantes.
Mais c’est un rapport qualité / prix tres raisonnable.

I am very satisfied with the purchase of the Millenium Rookie E-Drum Set electronic drum kit from Thomann. The drum kit arrived in perfect condition and within a reasonable time. The quality of the materials and manufacturing is excellent and the sound it produces is very realistic and satisfying. It is a perfect instrument for beginners and enthusiasts who are looking to practice and improve their percussion skills at home. Additionally, the quality-price ratio is very good compared to other electronic drum kits on the market. In summary, I highly recommend this product

I'm a guitarist, but I like drumming too, since it is not my main instrument, the flaws don't bother me too much.
it has some nice sounds and I can connect my phone via an aux cable so I can play with headphones. The pedals kina slide around, but if you put a carpet underneath it's fixed so not really a big deal.
One thing that kind of annoys me is the high hat pedal not really working properly all the time, but it's good for beginners and if you just like drumming on the side and don't wanna break the bank
