Millenium MPS-1000 E-Drum Set Reviews

Amazing for the price

This drum kit is an absolute joy to use and looks and feels great, it is very well built and has lots of modern features including use of your own samples and the ability to connect your phone or tablet via bluetooth to play along with anything and everything. At this price point it's a no brainer and I have set a MIDI Map to run my Addictive drums whilst recording and the dynamic curves are faithful to my playing without any time consuming edits, what an amazing piece of technology, I love it !!!

Great value

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!

Incredible Value

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.

Best ever choice for this price

*1. Please add in new firmware the option "Disable Bluetooth"

* SOLVED

Our engineer and I have added a mute button and volume control of Bluetooth to the front panel of the drum module

2. There is no way to save PAN for any PAD, even in new KIT with different name. Maybe this problem only in my drum module

3. Please add in new firmware the option "Assign any PAD to left or right channel of MASTER if this possible actually. It will increases 8 DIRECT OUTPUTS to 10
