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.
