Millenium MPS-850 08" Mesh Head Kick Pad 4-stars Reviews

absolutely amazing for price

good with double bass and it grips to the ground really well

Big enough for double pedals

Bought it cause older one couldn't support double pedals. This one has no difficulty doing that. No ghost/faulty triggering. The sensor picks up all hits around 200 BPM. It does move around if you don't put a solid support behind it. I live in an apartment and my neighbors haven't complained once. All in all, a great product and value for money!!

Good pad , But

Didnt work well out of the box, but after experimenting with damping of Piezo trigger it works for me.. Maybe I am just used to kick the kick drum too hard....Pad is stable and takes the beating, so ..recommended

Not bad

As others have mentioned, you're going to want to mod this to increases sensitivity. I did this by attaching an adhesive furniture pad to the foam square behind the membrane. Maybe this made it a bit too sensitive, but it's workable.

Disassembly was easy. This is a vast improvement over the standard tower that came with the Alesis Nitro Mesh drum kit.

Bought this for a Roland td4

I got this to be able to play double bass cos my Roland td4 kick pad was to small,

Worked straight out the box I can play doubles alot easyer now with the mesh head and not a rubber pad,

Highly recommended to buy this!

affordable but poor quality

this sounds just ok. Not great not very bad. The main problem is durability. I had to replace this now three times.

Quite playable

I bought this Millenium MPS-850 pad for my Roland TD-1DMK drum kit.

The trigger worked well when the beater was set to the very bottom of the net. In order to get feedback from the center of the drum, like other buyer reviewers, I pasted a felt circle on the foam of the trigger, which improved the responsiveness. The mesh is thin, single (in comparison with Roland - there is double). For the experiment, I set a regular Roland pad (PDX-8) as the kick drum - and it was much more sensitive than this MPS-850 pad (very weak hits are not always caught). In the future, I will try to move the trigger itself to the center of the drum, I wonder if this will improve the sensitivity by 100%. In principle, the product pleased me, this pad is more interesting than the small rubber pad from Roland TD DMK-1.

cheap product but.......

pros: cheap pedal , large diameter

cons: it is not suitable for double pedal for 2 reasons

1. i had to open the pedal and add 4 spacers at the base of the sensor because the high of the sensor was not at the same level of the kick sponge and the whole system did not read the pedals especially at high speeds.

2. it doesn't have volume level knob and the volume level (lower) is not the same with the other pads . So It needs a kind of preamplifier before the possessor in order to cooperate with the other pads . The drums I have is a Rolland Express 4 After these modifications the pad is ok for playing.
