Millenium MPS-850 E-Drum Set Reviews

good

Let's agree first that there are four icons in e-drums world roland,yamaha,atv and pearl with high price so don't compare mps 850 with them but mps beat alesis drums in price and spare parts price and availability and customer care

mps have same Build quality of alesis and almost same sound

another comparison xdrum,fame vs mps850 same build quality, sound and less price but there is no spare parts for fame drums on musicstore website and when you ask after send many mails without response from them says spare parts will be available soon but soon never come so big zero for customer care and customer experience , xdrum have a limited spare parts on website

I gave 5 stars for mps depend on Value for the price

note"my friend have fame DD ONE and his 12 inch snare pad was dameged from 6 month ago and its not available till now "

Awesome

For this price line, this is the best purchase ever. The mesh pads provides very good sensibility and dynamics, the cymbal pads has the choke mode. The module doesn't provide the best sounds but if you use any kind of software such EZdrummer 2.0 or similar, you can have the best of this e-drum. The midi i/o gives you the way to connect the module on your computer and uses another module as a slave giving you more pads to set up your kit.

totally recommend.

Good bang for ur buck!

Here is a set that you get the most value for your money, i searched the net for a set with a hi-hat stand like this. And this was the cheepest one i found. This is my first drumset so i havnt so much to compare it to, but what my friends tell me this one is much value for my money!

Best Choise!!!

very good choice !!!

Value for money.

Completely satisfied with the buy.

Great for the price but not if you're looking for something robust

It's a great kit for the price but the sounds and features leave you wanting for more. As an intermediate-level player who has previously owned multiple acoustic kits and a Roland TD-9KV, this kit was a disappointment in terms of the sound quality and triggering/dynamics. Using a VST greatly improves the experience.

Pros:

- Good build quality, stable enough

- Great amount of pads/cymbals

- Looks sleek

- Sound layering (partially) possible

Cons:

- Poor triggering reminds you that after all this is an inexpensive kit

- Hi-Hat control is quite bad, affecting the playability

- Sound samples really leave you unsatisfied

Verdict:

Great kit for the price, if you're relatively new to e-drums. Best option for the price range. If you're experienced and prefer quality over quantity though, you'll find it hard to love it.

Very good for the price

The module does not have 12 trigger inputs, only has 10 (including the 2nd crash and 4th tom).

The sounds are not the best but are ok.

The trigger response is very good.

The bassdrum is stable.

I was really impressed with the quality for this price. Very good indeed.

MPS-850 Review. SICK DRUM SET!

I'm using this drum set for recording and for pop-rock band rehearsal. For ten years I used to play with acoustic drums only. I've actually bought these drums with huge risk, that I wouldn't even like it. But when I saw it is actually sick drum set and I fell in love with them really quick. Let's make it clear with pros and cons.

Pros:

1. Realy good looking, way less space taking (then acoustic drums), comfortable drums set.

2. Unbelievable recording quality. I fell in love with the sound of those drums really quick.

3. Easy to built and dismantle.

4. Good quality original pre-sets. You can actually unpack them and play in lots of different styles.

5. Integrated Pitch, reverb and compressor help to make it sound more real, unique and with 550 voices, you can actually record whatever you can imagine.

6. Comfortable to play, good quality materials used.

Cons:

The only con I see - kick pedal is pretty weak and doesn't look to hold for a long time. But it is possible, that it's been damaged while shipping.

Would I recommend this E-Drum Set for a badass drummer? Trust me guys, I do. It's really insane E-Drum Set for records, for gigs, for rehearsals and for your own metronome practising. Sounds good, effects good, dynamics good, materials good. You should give it a shot. Price and quality ratio - perfect.

Have fun, you guys!

I purchased these 3 months agon now as a beginner/practice set as I can't play an acoustice set in my home for the obvious reasons of noise levels. The response is really good and they dont actually sound too bad for a budget edrum. After learning how to play a bit I just find the hi hat can be a bit patchy if I am trying to play with finese and feel especially with the foot pedal just doesnt react like an acoustic hi hat. Overall I am delighted with them, very glad I bought them. I dont expect them to last a lifetime though will have to see about that i seem to be a hard hitter and so far the seem to enjoy the beating I give them

Reliable, budget-friendly drum kit with professional Look

It is what it is, but for price/value, spectacular choice non-pro

Bought this only to play at home. It is small, quiet, does not take much space. Works, sounds, responds well. Sounds and kits are adequate and easy to tweak. I especially like the individual volume controls, very handy changing kits. For all you get here, you just cannot beat the price.

Other reviews have mentioned inadequate phones output level, I have everything at max but it is enough for me.

A whole lot good (especially for the price) and probably all you need at home or for a fixed gig. Probably not sturdy enough to pack and move a lot, this is not pro equipment but a good value.

3 bads I see....

1. the hi-hat spring is not strong enough to open fast (not adjustable) so not capable of disco hi-hat. I will look for an additional spring to add somewhere, should not be too hard to fix this but it certainly should not come this way out of the box ! And, of course, there is no "loose" sound, just open and close.

2. the ride bell is impossible to trigger reliably so that very useful effect is just not available.

3. cymbal choke is also unreliable

Is it all you want. No.

Is it all you need? At home or in church, yes.

Is it worth the money? YES!

Excellent Practice Kit

I have been looking at replacing my old e-drum kit for a while and ended up buying the Millenium MPS-850 as it was over 2x cheaper than my 1st choice Roland TD-17KVX.

Use: I only use it for practicing at home.

Pros: Sturdy frame and fully adjustable mounts, I managed to position all pads and cymbals exactly like they are set up on my acoustic kit. Mesh pads feel very close to normal drum heads and you can adjust the tension to your liking. The drum module has a lot of options for tweaking the sounds, kits, songs, etc.

Cons: My main issue is with the hi-hat controller. Opening and closing does not always respond as it should. The other one is the ride bell trigger - you need to hit hard to trigger it.

Sounds and kits: Pre-configured sounds and kits are ok, have not tried setting up custom ones or importing samples yet, I guess you can improve the overall experience by doing that.

In a summary, I am very happy with the purchase, a huge step up from my previous kit. Excellent value for money.

Really in love!

This is a very good electronic drumkit. Easy to install and adjustable. If you have any doubt about buying a electronic drumkit, my advise is to buy this kit, trust me!

Feature-rich and best for value kit

First of all, I'm a complete beginner. Having done some research for e-drum kits around this price range, this knocks everything else out of the park.

Pros:

The fact you get a three-zone ride as well as mesh pads on all drums and a proper hi-hat stand are all very good selling points for me. Having your hi-hat actually move up and down along the pedal (and only wobble when the hi-hat is open, just like an acoustic kit) is in my opinion essential for a realistic feeling of playing the drums. You can't get a real hi-hat stand with other kits anywhere near this money range.

Additionally getting 2 crashes, a ride and 4 toms for this price? It's a steal! I cannot comment on the kit's durability as I have just received this set - we'll see how it holds over time.

The sounds that come with the module are ok, nothing special, but I plan on using it with software on my PC and therefore that is not important for me.

Cons:

Two issues worth mentioning however, which are not a huge deal but they're worth mentioning:

Firstly, the snare drum trigger will trigger a rim shot even if you just touch the rim and not the pad itself. If you use some software like EzDrummer you will be able to configure touching the rim as a cross stick OR a rimshot, but at least as far as I can tell, you cannot do both rimshots and cross sticks on the snare. To be honest I'm not sure how much you'd have to go higher in price of a snare trigger to have proper rimshot and cross stick functionality.

Second, while the ride is a three-zone cymbal, getting the bell to trigger has been inconsistent for me as very often I get a bow sound instead of a bell when I'm quite clearly hitting the bell with the tip of my stick. I've spoken with support and unfortunately that's how it is. Oh well - possible future upgrade.

Overall, for the price that you're paying you're getting a really good kit that doesn't look like a toy and it has everything you need. Absolutely recommended for beginners and possibly intermediate-level players too.

Millenium e drum set

I LOVE IT! Real pedal set up, real hi hat stand, extra crash cymbal and extra tom, brilliant! Big, chunky and tough. The cymbals can be chocked, they have various hit zones, the snare can be rim showed. Well made, almost infinatly adjustable, there?s a lot to this kit, I can?t keep off it. I?m really really impressed with it, the build quality is well made and chunky

It is a shame however that the pre programmed songs can?t have the drums muted so you?re playing along with the songs with the drumming as well.

Practice & Recording

Using this kit mainly for practice as my acoustic is not an option. The MPS-850 is well made and the mesh heads are very responsive , although the rack toms are a bit small and need accuracy (which I don't really possess :-) ). However the sounds are pretty good and there are a good range. I have customized the kit sound to my liking but there are plenty of options. It won't compete with the higher priced alternatives when it comes to build quality or features but as solid practice kit with the option to record demos with the band, it really does the job.

Great Drumkit for a reasonable price

So far I've used it a few months at home to practice. It's been a blast drumming on the MPS-850 kit.

Loads of sounds, many tweakable options, effects and metronome.

Despite the positive points, it lacks good audio mixing options, there is not really an option to extend with some extra cymbals, and the materials used do feel a bit cheap.

Overall, for the money, it's a decent kit with many options but it really is a 'what you see is what you get' thingy, no expansions possible and the provided hardware(Kick pedal etc.) could definately be upgraded if you're a serious drummer.

Thank you for the superior product is the best choice after very much searching I recommend it inexplicably ..

I took 850 for MIDI to use with PC. Just when it went out on sale in august. So far so great. Good practice set. Half a year of usage. Used two pads with a module with my acoustic kit for one special gig.

I keep it at home. And its huge. When I dont need move together moving parts so the drum set takes like 0,80m2. I dont like that hihat moves around when I play and I from time to time I plastic instead of triggers.

For the price you can't go wrong

I would highly recommend this set of e-drums. Of course you won't have the same feel as an acoustic set but the pros heavily outweigh the cons.

Pros: the sounds are great

Very easy to use

Can easily record audio/video using only your phone and an Irig

Relitivly quiet

Quite sturdy

And of course the price for all the features and the extra drum and cymbal pad make a massive difference.

Cons: the mesh pads can be a little weak. I broke through my bass drum pad but then again I've been heavily playing it without a bass drums patch and a double kick pedal that weren't exactly centred. The pad still works great but if I go too far the one side the beater will get stuck.

Other than that this kit is great and would recommend to anyone

Great beginners and practice kit

I received this kit recently and have been impressed with it. I used to play an acoustic kit when I was younger and haven't played in over 20 years. I decided to get back into drumming but needed something quiter to practice on. I never played on E-drums before and I have been very impressed with how much they feel like an acoustic kit. The module is very user friendly and easy to navigate. The drum sounds are quite good and I like that you can add new ones. Over all it's great to play on, I would recommend.
