Millenium 14" Stereo Cymbal Pad MPS-600 4-stars Reviews

Extra crash cymbal for DM10 Mk2 Pro

Purchased to use an additional crash on my Alesis DM10 Mk2 Pro kit.

It works perfectly well for my needs and is basically the same as the cymbals that came with the kit, but is unbranded.

For the price, the quality is good and i would highly recommend if you're looking to expand your kit on a budget.

okay for the price

a good size crash with a working choke switch. fully compatible with my roland td11. there's one problem i have with it, after 4 or 5 years it started giving a "top" signal when i'm hitting the edge instead of the "edge" signal.

Budget soultion that is better then expected

The pad is well put together from good materials and triggers better then one would expect for that money out of the box.

Couple of things you may not notice:

First, this pad is 3 zone - it has two membrane switches - one around the edge and another under the bell area. The bell switch is wired through a 10KOhm resistor as on the Yamaha e-cymbals so folks with Yamaha modules may find this pad interesting as it will trigger 3 zones for them. ATV owners can benefit too if wanted a 14" ride cymbal - just set type as PCY-135

Second, important for Roland owners - the piezo is oddly wired through 65KOhm resistor and so the pad is too cold. I had to pump sens up to 19 to make it reach 127.

But the good part: If you are a little into DIY and not afraid to solder a wire, you can make it a really great pad. All you need to do is bypass that 65KOhm with a wire so piezo goes directly to tip. And if add a second 35mm piezo in the already existing spot - then it becomes a really great pad!

Great cymbal

Use the as a ride as part of a hybrid kit I've just put together.

The kit is for quiet practice at home so needs to be pretty quiet to keep my neighbours sweet!

It's a very solid bit of kit, and really responsive! All three zones play as expected.

No issues with it really. Happy with it.

nice stereo cymbal pad

I bought it as an extension for my Millenium E-drumkit, served me really well. Soft rubber padding has low noise. Picked up every hit correctly, never got any problems with it. Can be great alternative for more expensive pads, as well. I recommend it.

Bargain e-cymbal.

I build a lot of custom kits and have recently branched into electic/acoustic hybrid drum kits. After searching the web for reasonable priced e-cymbals that actually work well, I stumbled upon these. They trigger perfectly using Roland or Yamaha modules. Although they noise of the stick contact is slightly louder than more expensive models, it's not overly loud and can't be heard from the next room. I've bought quite a few of these cymbals to add to hybrid kits that I've built and have had no complaints from any customers, even had one customer ask where I got them so he could buy some more!

Millenium 14 " stereo cymbal

Much better than I expected and has worked well with Yamaha dtxII,Roland TD-15,TD-20 and my TD-30 Module. Reliable, sensitive no problems in 2 years
