All user reviews of 5/5 for the Millenium MPS-300

Preamble:
I possde DM5 module that suits me (12 entries when same) and I do not want to invest in the
Following the forum ddi MPS300 I do order and gives me a great! aim to make these pads silent, save in ergonomics, Aesthetics, quality of games over my pads PD5 (souferts my wrists are too!) cheaply
I shall decide dacheter kit with rack (348euros), the famous Roland cones (4), skin mesh (5) and EST all!.
I expect to see the assembly as jadopterait once java dpouill a pad!

Unpacking:

Everything is made of cardboard, cest well packed the installation instructions: 1 A4 (!) But it's a game denfant
Discoveries content small small: 2 par2 ranges pads and cymbals are together, feet at the bottom, all is being protected.
Note: I was missing a small screw on the bass drum pedal: I will not do a trial now!

5min aprsdballage jai began opening the first tom (ae: the guarantee takes a cut!) Vis poor quality circles steel trs trs bof, skin (j not even talk about it so no skin EST) and lintrieur EST Lorge: mosses of plaquesbref it seems quil wanted to fill and stuff with all that lespace their hands on!
following the topic of the passage in skin mesh, I mount my personal mimagine who will work most of the thunder! cest and simple!

here is my installation:

TOM PAD in 14 steps!
1. OPDs of lensemble (attachment included)
2. of welding of mono jack (the son of hair are: hyper for so gaffe)
3. all so much I throw Solidaris-white foam (the most ugly and more! bah)
4. I dcolle plastic plate (on which the sensor is al) of its mtallique plate (not even painted!).
5. I dcoupe Paisse the black foam to make portions of that pie in the longitudinal ribs of the plastic shell (jai did this because the plate is put above mtal plutt on the ribs: Depreciation impacts, elimination of vibrations of hollow areas gnratrices)
6. So I go back plate mtal (which is the glue thin dense foam black)
7. I stick the NEC on the transparent plastic plate (true!)
8. I stick with this set of double-sided on the thin dense foam (although focus)
9. I resolder the jack (in fact the thread is quite long)
10. I put the clip tom pice for a place (watch out son, go for the throat Pipelines Limited in the hull).
11. I put the wood strapping and I lensemble emissions to maintain fair.
12. I return I press the pad and lattache tom (2 Phillips screw)
13. I resume the tightness and tension of the skin mesh (the NEC is going to touch the skin cest normal, good tension relief erase the GNR by the CNE)
14. The trick is played! rendering is plutt class and has nothing do with loriginal

DRUM PAD
- Idem 1 5 that for toms pads except that the 5 I dcoupe foam white instead of black.
- Simply I put the black foam and I was grazing the bottom is the original post mounting (sensor + mtal plate) then I plate the ugly white foam (yes its thickness h is what is quil) that we'll see a little-through (well actually me too jai lespace Jam!)
- I is the circle of wood, I shake and I tend skin mesh.
- The round is played!

TESTS
Toms: SETTING THE NICKEL without my DM5! so I can even refine rglages, touch is super enjoyable, the little notes are played (especially in the middle, normal) but priphrie impacts are captured as well necessary.
The bass drum: no rebound toms identical to (normal skin touches the foam), but the rendering is good and fairly quiet, however I must find the right paramtres dclenchement because of too sensitive EST It's good sailing, with good rglages is the best!.
in parallle I equip an old CC Pearl 13 "Tiger (which I do not slaughter) with a mesh head: APRS several tries I position a damper that all rsoud problem of double triggering!
Voil goal achieved! I rgale ...

Hello,
it is thanks to those who have taken the time to write their opinions on the drumkit 300 MPS on this forum, which I really needle in my research, I give my opinion on this one, I just to purchase 15 days ago and I am completely satisfied.
it after a few tries to store batteries Roland and Yamaha, I fell on the forum talking about the drumkit MPS 300. I'm new drumkit, knowing that I did a lot of rhythm with sequencers (keyboard) and I played a little earlier in real time with friends in a while. I was excited about the different opinions about this and I started, although I can, to 300 mps with Roland TD3 module.
First, the first point I liked is the purchase price. For 600 euros, I thought the "risk" was limited.
Then, the aesthetical is very flattering. The appearance of acoustic drums is a real plus compared to the electronic pad type batteries. The rack is well made, nice and solid.
So I decided to order from thomman with two skins for the mesh snare and bass drum (head mesh) and two cones Roland (roland cushion) to test the installation explained in the tutorial. (I planned, so if the installation charge proved, to pass the 3 toms later head mesh).
thomman site is well done, with their business contacts (in French) by e-mail works well. However, I had to wait a month for delivery (out of stock at thomman). However, the delivery date was held and the equipment has arrived, the scheduled day, by UPS, and in very good condition.
Next step, the initial assembly. The no big worry. Of course, there are no instructions, but with two or three pictures, one is doing well, without being a pro yourself. The only tool is a square key supplied with the kit. Basically, the rack is mounted in an hour and the pads in an hour also made connections (everything is marked, with colors etc etc ...). And there is happiness! The quality of the Roland module is really very good (for cons, I do not know the quality of module dm 5 or whatever, so I can not compare), and in any case, suffuse much for me. There are 32 drum kits and the module is very easy to use. The plastic pads are a little noise, but it is playable without any problems.
The second step is the change in skin mesh. It's a bit stressed that I removed a tom, asking if I was not a mistake by touching something that worked well ... And again a nice surprise! I did an installation even simpler than the tutorial and that works very well! Here are the details of yourself (which takes only 10 minutes by tom ...)
1 - Unscrew the four screws that hold the whole.
2 - remove the plastic skin, the two foams (beware of the son of piezo).
3 - keep the metal plate with the black foam bonded (thin, about 3 mm), and returned on piezo
4 - glue the cone on the piezo roland (this one comes with a double-sided tape)
5 - the metal plate is not very good (presence of glue etc), I put a blank sheet of paper cut into circles with a hole in the middle to let the cone roland, just for aesthetical .. .
6 - to mesh the skin and tighten everything.
7 - play and have fun. In fact, I have not even had to Reassign module to play. Afterwards, if you want to be purist, is refined ... But frankly it's not mandatory.

Note: the installation is the same for all the toms, including the bass drum.

The passage in skin mesh is very easy to do (I am not at all Electronics), and the gain is really huge. The sensitivity, skin reaction and comfort are exceptional. So, I ordered the skins and cones to change the following three toms.

In summary, I am super happy with this purchase. I now have a drumkit with a Roland TD3 module, a snare and a bass drum with mesh head (soon all the drumkit will be meshed skin) for only 700 euros and 90 minutes of briolage ... just look at the price of batteries in the other brands in skin mesh to achieve the interest that the 300 mps.
Of course, it is regrettable that the cymbals are fixed, the hi-hat pedal is a little "cheap", but honestly, this is not harmful to all (the most discerning can always change one of the .. .). I do not regret this purchase, I thank all those who gave their opinions on this site and that allowed me to take the plunge, I do it again today and I advise anyone who wants to make electronic drums, with sound quality, look and feel of electronic drums, with a budget unbeatable!

- How long have you use it?
Few hours.

- What is the particular feature you like best and least?
excellent qualitprix, trs good strength of the rack, wiring included with the same basic kit without module, the skins are not that famous lgrement more noise than the basic roland pads. The bass drum pedals a bit much beginners, a drummer confirm the pedals appear even for, but confirm a drummer worthy of the name adj his own bass drum pedals worth as much as the MPS-300. The cymbals can not be hit by squeezing with your hand, but it is a dtail, and the snare is not stro at the sensor (= no circle on which little hit and sending a signal to the module) but it is also a dtail ... for the price we will not ask for a trip into space right?

- Have you tried many other models before acqurir?
Yes, of Roland TD6.

- How do you report qualitprix?
We can not do better!

- With the exprience, you do again this choice? ...
Hsiter without a second, because 3x cheaper than a pack Roland TD-6, and only slightly less well in the pads, much better at the rack is not only feature children at home roland (joke), trs marries well with a TD-6 REFES rglages few quick at the sensitivity of the pads. Pub to play with my group it's great when you're limited in dB! In addition to watching the tutorial Audiofanzine groin for 50 euros on this famous German site you can change all your sensors and your skin to have a great touch style roland td-12.
I have long hsit because of 1 or 2 comments on AudioFanzine, but I really do not regret it! Go ahead go for it head down! 9 / 10 for ptits default (pedals, and skins)

Received 15 days ago with a Roland TD-9 module, a mesh pad PD-1010, a CY-5 and a controller FD-8, I will amplify it all down. I thought this config to play in the halls or my acoustic drum does not fit or when the noise level is limited.
As usual, proceeds received on time, home delivery (one day it will explain to the carriers that individuals often have a job between 9 and 18h ​​so that it is stupid to deliver during these times!) And good packaging.

The rack: The bulk of the job is mounting the rack, at least 2 hours to have something that fits, the record is ... hungry (one sheet!) so if you have not made Mecano Lego or small, you can call a friend! It has the advantage of being able to invent his own disposition, because we do what we want to trial and error! Otherwise, the rack looks solid and there is room above. For my part, 4 toms and 2 cymbals HH + 1 + 1 + 1 pad Ride CC + module! Regret, all the elements (pads, parts of the Rack ..) is fixed with screws square (type drums) and therefore no butterflies for assembly / disassembly is missed!
The wiring: The MPS-300 comes with all cables ... but not for a TD-9! In fact it comes with its own special multicore so you have such an adapter to connect a Mesh Pad Thomann DP-1010 (XLR) on the TD-9 (male Stereo Jack!) Nothing too serious but that is .
The three cymbal pads: a bit noisy and mono = one sound is not very serious for a crash but a hi-hat and ride is a shame. So I completed a pad Roland CY-5 for the ride and a pad 8 (I already had) for charley.
The four pads Tom / CC: Same, single => single sound. Okay for toms, but not great for CC because no game Rimshot. So I completed a mesh pad Thomann DP-1010. The touch pad is better than the original MPS-300 (sensitive but noisy) and above the circle trigger.
The GC pad: RAS is exactly the same technology as the toms, so quite noisy. Comes with a pedal GC entry-level, very proper to begin.
The controller Charley: Nice, but a big crap as I expected! Let me explain: No nuance, the hi-hat is open or closed, no middle ground. So a module for use with entry-level it does not matter (TD-3 or type DTXplorer) but with a TD-9 is the waste. That's why I also ordered a Roland controller (FD-8)

As I wrote above, everything is connected to a TD-9 and after playing 10 years on a TD-7 and tried a long TD-3, a DTXplorer and HD-1 (no comment), y ' no photo! More sounds (drum, I said), sounds very good, more configuration options (the tension of the skin, the diameter of the cymbal or was ..) Be careful to get something out of the couple-TD 9/MPS-300 we must take the lead on setting a minimum (try different settings Trigger sensitivity) but after it is happiness!

The + is the value for money as often Thomann and modularity
The - Charley is the controller and the snare pad, change of emergency.

At the moment I do not regret my choice if I had the same budget, I would do exactly the same choice.

I wanted for a while to buy a drumkit electronic, in order to train quietly and to earn a maximum of place, to record with some of my models as EZdrummer VST. At first I thought the Roland TD3 KW, but the acquisition of 900 ncessaires this dernire not within my budget, I immediately pass my way ... And then I came across this little electronic drum on Thomann, Submitted to several advantages:

- The price
- The malabilit (you can move the pads aisment original skin cells)
- The look (plutt class ^ ^)

I ordered first a Roland TD3 module on ebay, then I went on our beloved German supplier to order the drumkit, and then as I still had a lot of money, I also took the covers Guitar floorboard and a double pedals etc. ....

I command all of last Wednesday, one week I have all REU APRS!

In dballage, I was surprised: The rack is of excellent quality for the price, with a nice look "carbon" pads are great, a bit noisy yes, but I plan to pass mesh-skin for later (see tutorial of vetjc)

The rponse is quite good with the TD3, there are some good rglages do but nothing too mchant.

Also note that the bass drum pedals that came with does not bind on the kick! Yet there is a site with holes for the screws, but it is not compatible. Nothing really mchant either.

For an electronic drumkit Premire, honest I'm bluffing it's good quality for a great price (289) I advise all beginners drummers on a budget to start I think you can not RVer better!

NB: I pay a total of 700 with 900 against all my accessories for the TD3, all that was worth it!

Ciao's zicos!
