Millenium MPS-300 Mono Cymbal Pad Reviews

Millenium Kikz Azz

Far better quality that I'd expected + a great cymbal arm with a saddle thatvkeeps your eCymbal from spinning! ...And economical!🤎🎄✨️

Perfect if you don't need much dynamic range

This is a great inexpensive addition to any e-drum kit, as long as you understand it's limitations. It is a single zone pad and does not have a lot of dynamic range. I added this to a Simmons SD600 kit and found that I had to turn the sensitivity way up and hit the pad harder than some of my other ones. It's a bit stiff and doesn't have much movement, so I found it to be a bit louder than the rest of my e-cymbals.

All that said, this cymbal pad works perfectly for my application. I use it to trigger a china cymbal for playing metal, and I can rely on it to stay in place and trigger roughly the same velocity every time. If you're looking to simulate a china or any other cymbal that's cranked down tight, this is the pad to get.

Cheap but good

It does what it is supposed to do. it triggers a cymbal. I am using it as a splash, but can be used for anything.

It is only Mono and a little louder than the cymbals from the MPS 850, but for the price it is something i can definitely life with.

Experience of MPS-300 use

I bought this pad mainly for fun - just wanted to add one more "cymbal" to my old Roland e-kit. Befor that, I used a spare rubber pad from the same kit as an extra cymbal.

Pros: the pad and the stand are really nicely made from the mechanical point of view. They are sturdy and robust.

Cons: well, may be not the cons, but "features".

1. The cymbal does not swing at all (compared to Roland cympals from my set). So, there is no difference between hitting this pad and a usual pad that emulates a tom drum on my kit. But still, I could spend more money and buy a swinging model. Nobody to blame here. Maybe, later I will customize it to make it swing.

2. It is loud like hell. Still have no solution for this issue.

Great for the price

An affordable and small cymbal pad. Does the job, great extension for the kit.

Great effect pad for the price

I was looking for a pad to be used for china and effect cymbal sounds and this pack fits the bill perfectly for that use. Everything you need is included at a great price and it works fine. It triggers well, isn't extremely loud acoustically (though I do have quieter cymbals), and the stand is solid enough. It doesn't take a lot of room so it keeps the footprint of the kit low even when positioned fairly far off to the side, or it can be positioned in between other pads without need for a lot of manouvering.

I couldn't really recommend it as a regular crash cymbal for example, except on a very short budget, it just doesn't feel very realistic in that role. It feels pretty much like an inverted china when being played, no wobble and not a lot of give. It is best employed as an effect cymbal or perhaps a secondary ride/hi-hat. I'm not taking that as a big minus though, it would not be fair to expect a "pizza slice" cymbal to feel like a full-size one.

Recommended, would buy again.

Very stiff

Just wanted a cheap mono add on, like most people. The build quality is good, and for the price its amazing it comes with a mount and a cable BUT the cymbal is incredible stiff. its not a rubber cymbal, its a hard plastic cymbal with a thin sheet of rubber on top, so it feels like hitting a wooden desk, this also makes it quite loud. Playing the bow, maybe a second hi hat or ride situation would be better, but trying to "crash" it on the edge, feels very unnatural

great product for the price

Sure, there are other brands, which have better quality cymbals, but this cymbal is perfect for my needs. I wanted to expand my drum set, and these are just the thing I was looking for. They aren't so big as other cymbals, so fitting several of them in an existing drum set won't be a problem. The response is very good, the triggers work fine. It actually has a very nice feeling when striking, almost life-like response. They do make a bit of noise, but compared to the kick pad, it's not a problem. Would by again.

low budget

Value for the money..Simple cymbal including cable and arm for this price..!!!

As others have stated, makes for a cheap little effects cymbal

Using it as a splash cymbal which in terms of scale fits better with an e kit.

Rubber is a bit thin on the playing surface which makes for a relatively noisy impact.

Triggers well but the anti spin device it employs has split within a week, so I need to get a replacement or carry out a mod.

Very high xtalk

Poor trigger. The very high xtalk tends you to increase the threshold to maximum. You can really use it only for a specific couple of things.

Great value product

I bought some of these cymbal pads to expand an electronic drum kit. For the money, these represent a great solution because they include a cymbal arm for mounting, as well as a cable. Having only had them for a few weeks I can't speak about durability. I use them with an Alesis DM10 module and they trigger without issue. Most issues people have with electronic pads seem to be down to module settings, anyway.

Comparing this with, for example, the Yamaha PCY65, the Millenium MPS-300 does feel a little less sturdy/durable. I am a metal drummer so I expect these to take a bit of punishment, but I guess if you are sensible with these things and don't just thrash them for the sake of it, they should last a decent length of time.

Average pad

I use acoustic cymbals on my electronic drum kit but I wanted at least one e-cymbal to use all the sounds that my module provides.

So I bought this cheap pad and it does the job. The dynamic is good. The sound quality is ok.

I like the shape of it too, it does not take a lot of space. Perfect if you want to add an extra sound to your drum kit.

Good value for money

I bought this cymbal as an addition to a budget DDRUM beta kit to be used as a hi-hat.

The cymbal is sturdy and the thick rubber provides a pad-like rebound. Also arm and cable are good quality.

With the DDRUM brain you need to hit hard in order to get good response and dynamics.

I would hope for a larger sensitive area but at this price range it's a good buy.

Strong construction but only small sensitive area

Good value for the money - strong construction and good cymbal screw & felt.Arm is strong and good adjust-ability Fitted on milenium clamp I bought no problem. Worked with my PP drums kit. Only slight downside is for such a large pad the sensitive area does not cover a great extent of it.

high quality mono cymbal pad...

always great to get a new piece of hardware...really nice to see what hi-quality these Millenium drums are...good length on cymbal stand arm...really great addition to any customized/hybrid kit...great as splash...

Cheap and cheerfull

The pad is sturdy and works fine. I've used this as a hihat and it works well for simple beats. If you want something that is very accurate in your dynamics you'll have to pay more.

Everything is good, but there is better ones out there. But not at this price range!

cymbal

cymbals is playable and good response

fantastic

these cymbal triggers are sturdy, great feeling and surprisingly sensitive to all playing styles and come with a fairly heavy duty extension arm to connect to another stand or your kit frame, ideal, and very well made !
