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!
