All user reviews for the Millenium MPS-300

Hi All!

ATTENTION!

I give a little warning to all those who consider to buy this kit ...
I have a roland td 8, and I said to myself rather than buying a roland pad suplmentaire, why not buy the MPS 300. The case had the good air, 2-week time limit Thomann ... the brief excitation of a new purchase and finally rception and dballage:
- Nothing to say on the packaging is perfect ... (But we got a little crazy as koi ..)
- The rack is mounted when it was more or less easily, but is solid trs (c the best thing about being 1 / 10).
- The Toms: Beware of the real c * $ $! dplorable quality, trs noisy! , Trs variable dclenchement poor quality (you need to type the middle to get sound max), no return of the wand, the skin on the tom is that to hide a conventional pad ...
- Cymbals: same quality as the toms, a plastic two francs, dclanchement shabby, but far less noisy than the toms.

Voila, I really wanted to warn the prospective buyer some who read this chapter of the quality of this kit.
I saw one article that combines the kit has TD3 TD6 or, in my opinion, it is better now take good old rubber pad, rather than the toms Shabby and noisy in this kit, it will be much better quality !
I sold my kit mps300 to buy me pads yamaha base (39) and Roland PD8 (69) These are TRUE batterrie pads, this has nothing to do.

Here is my c'tait pitit geule shot on the MPS300 kit is truly "made in Tawan" in the negative sense, the worst of worlds pads. I had the impression of flight t qd especially a tom I'm saying disassemble a skin to see that this is only a dclencheur (rotten) CACH derrire skin!
DO NOT BUY (this is my personal opinion ...)

Good opinion I started right away and I pursue receipt of the product ^ ^
I went through the net a bit (and also Audiofanzine) to complete my choice of electronic drums. Fawn similar DarkWicked had a limited budget and desires as all the same ^ ^ so the choice of the Millennium MPS 300 seemed a very good compromise by reading the opinion DIFFERENT Permit dtenteur by this drumkit!

I ordered together with the mesh head and a double pedals but one thing bothers me, and bounty59 sergeievitch say it is not possible to install one: S-off I see DarkWicked Arussi! So I wonder if you need a standard for Russian talent mcanique this feat or just a dvisseuse and a little elbow grease ^ ^ For the installation of the tutorial will mesh head help me I think!

Regarding the order, I performed at Thomann and so far no problem from the demand set to scan the visa card and identity for a pice of autentifier and confirm the purchase (they have the seem to have been stolen card problem ...) they asked me this information the same day so the problem that meet bounty59 be an ad, participate (damage to ^ ^ you but good times were not likely:-P)

So for now I do not put notes and I keep my opinion for later, but at least I is October 1 and DarkWicked bounty59 for their advice and have INTERESTED russi convince me ^ ^ thank you to you

for now I put five I would see in a week for more ...

Hello,

I received the MPS-300 acompagnée TD3 module 3 weeks ago.
As a beginner, I never tried another drumkit (or electro or acoustic).

This pack seems ideal for beginners: the module is simple but fairly complete (apart from the snare, I have not found one that suits me exactly) and the rack seems pretty good.

At installation, horror: the pads are very noisy. But after the transformation indicated by vetjc meshes (see the tutorials), what happiness. The pads are so highly reactive with a good bounce and very quiet (less noise qu'ne typing with sticks on my thighs). It remains the cymbal pads that make some noise, but the same noise as the pads of TD3kW or DTXpress I tried in stores.

I'm really not disappointed with my purchase and after sales service is excellent at Thomann: MIDI-USB cable the past in the same command did not work, they put me back a new one immediately.

A big thank you to vetjc.

Edit: I finally Revoy the TD3 Thomann for exchange against a TD6 because I could not find a snare that suited me. The TD6 is really better.

I use it for only a month.
Goodies: rglages simplicity of the module level, it is true that the MPS-300 kit is nice and flexible for cheap, sounds are good for what I did (work apart and use a pad with live acoustic drums), for hip-hop and the atmosphere is top heavy with a good sound scne.
Cons: The pads with mesh modification is sensitive trs live (crosstalk with other lments acoustic vibrations, but a good APRS rglage no problmo).
The rack is limited by two rglage vertical and horizontal positions, but remains all the same good quality for the price.
The pedals of Charles is a little bad in rponses, only the O / F, cymbal pads noisy but good compared to the base pads cymbals like a road, always a story of price, s' accustoming a good password.
Before I had tried the Roland TD-20 hurts the diffrence in sound and touch but prs of 2000 euros Difference ... this kit is enjoyable and makes profit the user to touch the scrolls from old batteries to electronic.
The top twelve o'clock is the implmentation which allows great freedom in the ass with a branch groovebox, are transplanted sounds carefree and even synth sounds (a good note assign a DLIR e each adjustable pads, you can then play a single line of four notes with the GROOVE !!!), so it works really well.
To see if I remake the choice but the price is above the quality of the module since a simple piezo and many ides we tinker a good sensor and adjusted according to the module.
In short good value with qualitprix rglage and quite a few ides on accde the electronic sounds on the cheap, the kit is enjoyable and I think reliable (see the last) .
I highly recommend the budget that sound like the breast while having fun on a good quality kit.
I put 8 because I allow myself time to find the small default use.

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 ...

"I have been using this drumkit can prs four months.

I do not like symballes who are not "movement" of acoustic cymbals (those at Roland have). As is huge against the rack which allows you to add other fts.Les pads for toms, snare and bass drum are very practical because they can change the skin and telephone marketing as well get the pad roland quivalant.

-Before I tried the Roland TD6 from home is nice and the trs MODELS yamaha.

"I buy this drumkit with the modules from Yamaha dtx plorer: cheap but you can not add fts (damage). In all this cost me 511 (the cheapest of the mps-300. So the report is qualitprix unbeatable because it is the cheapest drumkit quality.

-With the exprience I waited a bit to the module moffrire Alesis DM5 from home because you can add 3 fts (600 approximately). But I do not regret my choice.
OVERALL OPINION:
Trs trs good drumkit lctroniques modulable.Pas expensive solid.
I will pad with a machete mesh-head millennium pd-1000 or PD-1010 (69 or 88). For the snare drum is too small to my taste.

TIP:
Buy your drumkit by thomann quotes, no quotes trssrieux Soucila delivery cartons trs tidy delivery within 7 days. (Thomann offers many mps-300 kit module different from before but if you take perform a module (TD-12 Roland) pennez pack millenieume mesh head).

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)

- How long have you use it?

a few days!

- What is the particular feature you like best and least?

-Bass drum pad is a lot of noise ... So better to put a meshed skin.
Charley hold it when it is open and has a medium tempo (I use a DM5).
-Tom pads do not make so much noise that his, I do not think the change in skin cell ...

This is my first electronic drums and apart from these few points, I love it.
- Have you tried many other models before acqurir?

Roland TD3, and I much prefer the pads millennium.

- How do you report qualitprix?

Being given that we can change the pads, the report qualitprix is ​​quite good.

- With the exprience, you do again this choice? ...

I use it only recently, but for now, yes!

EDIT: Hi-Hat pedal pete ... will know how?! In any case, since I put my electro, it works more!

I use it for two days so the feelings are "hot" I'll tell you later if I changed my mind!

what I like least is the touch of Charley that handles poorly, both at the pedals as the cymbal (nb: this is the same pad for cymbals)

if I chose the model with a meshead is enough raliste at Rebound
for toms, but they are noisy aisment editable mesh by adding skins
the bass drum is very sensitive but it must be a matter of rglage

I took the model with the ALESIS DM5 module, it offers many ralistes sounds more or less, but all is set right. there sounds a bit like rap DLIR or mixes with guitar on the toms!

the price quality ratio is good, never tried other models, I know if I do it again this choice.

Good sailing for two months I bought a millennium mps 300 mesh TD3 special set at Thomann. there's really nothing to fault the service thomann, is fast and neat!
in terms of drumkit pads, toms are rather noisy but with a headphone can not hear them if you do not play too hard and it is apparently very easy to replace them with mesh skin who makes the best sensitivity, and the game more enjoyable!
snare mesh perfectly silent and only BMOL the circle contains no sensor so it is not Stereo, but hey it can go again.
the pads, cymbals, are still quite noisy but all the same unless those toms! the hi-hat pedals that do not open gre / frm which can be quite embtan, it makes a little noise and does not really feel like a real hi-hat pedals under the foot! sounds TD3 module are quite satisfactory and allows the addition of a pad.
basically for the price it is really good, and I think regret is that I can s'apliquer has almost every electronic batteries! I think if I make another dev purchasing choices, first I will inquire about the price of good acoustic insulation so as not to generate my neighbors with the noise!
Here I hope that it will help you make your choice!

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!
