Oh my god, for months I've been reading and watching reviews of this one because I wanted it for my 21st birthday, and this review just pops up and it's short and perfect! Also my birthday is today, so wouldn't it be nice to win it? I want to dream...
I have this kit, it gets a lot of bad review, I must disagree with many of them, I have had an Alesis dm6 and it was way louder, I kept going back to a drum shop to try all the ekits they had on display, I would rather have my Millenium 850 that I can set up to the dimensions of a real kit, rather than play a beginner to mid range Roland or Yamaha, as those are usually smaller, I am 191cm /6'3" and this kit is very comfortable for me to play, also Roland mesh heads (prob not the high end stuff) are very very bouncy, you can't adjust the mesh heads tension, on these you can, so on the floor Tom's and bass drum I keep them looser to get a more realistic feel! The built in sounds are totally fine and tweak able, (besides you won't be switching them constantly, I use 3 kits in total, also good earphones go a long way, use silicon earbuds that naturally isolate the outside noise, on top of that I have protective ear mufflers builders use) all the cymbals are dual zone and the ride has 3, I love the real hi hat (wish it had more range but it's quite good, on, off, splash and since the hi hats edge is a zone in itself, hitting it increasingly harder as you open the hats does sound like you are opening real hi hats. Re noise, I have a thick carpet and right under the pedals I have a thick foamy yoga mat, if you live in a new build with fake walls and wooden beams the vibrations are hard to stop, my girlfriend still complains, I use the same sticks I use on a real kit, they are carbon and won't get splintered, but they are heavier than the sticks Thomann give you, make sure your wooden sticks are in good condition and not chipped else the mesh heads will suffer, as for the bass drum beater, use the plastic side, not the felt, apparently the friction felt creates eats away the mesh head. Also singly ply mesh heads are more bouncy, haven't tried but might get a set of 3 ply, see how the triggering is affected, they may make the kit a bit louder but more realistic. As for the drum beater, not for the noise but more for making the mesh head feel more realistic, try adding a piece of foam (sponge) to the plastic side with superglue, it helps avoiding unwanted ghost notes or try the Kat Percussion tennis ball beater, Gibraltar sells the same cheaper. I have tried both of the sponge and the tennis ball beater and the sponge worked better but looks funny. If you don't want to build a stand for the kit like he did, Roland make these small boards especially made for pedals (noise eaters they are called I think) they are expensive (70 euros ca.?) but I read they are really good, other option would be those fancy pedals that have no beater but they do have the feel of a real pedal, expensive though but supposed to be great. Also there are drumsticks made out of bamboo, super light but also freaking durable and they don't chip easily, for the long run. To reduce the noise on the cymbals, when you crash, use a sweeping motion slightly to the side/edge of the cymbal and aim for the edge with the shaft of the stick 1. Its better for your real cymbals too 2. The edge of the cymbal has thicker rubber and produces less noise. A lot of these can also be applied to any other ekit, I had my 850 for ca 2 years and had to do no repairs, I think they are extremely good for the price, everyone is so uptight about sound quality of these cheaper kits. Vs Roland but I'm reality no one really records the built in sounds, and if for your everyday enjoyment you really want better sound, you will use a daw or a vst, I tried ableton and the kits sound better than most high end kits anyway.
@Matyas Torok, hi thanks for your input... regarding the bad reviews I have a question: I haven’t found any bad reviews yet about this kit, can you remember where you saw them?
I have that kit too, and I really love it! There is some misstriggering sometimes (so I wouldn't use it for live performances), but it's really great for the price. I'd suggest buying a vst (I use ezdrummer) and use the kit as a midi controller. You'll get phenomenal sounds, which are almost like an acoustic drumset :)
I'm a struggling musician with little to no money living in the forgotten area called the reservation, I recently got a blood clot in my arm and after surgery I was unable to play guitar anymore but I can hold sticks. my love for music has been picked up by my son and nephew who is older 17 but UNBELIEVABLE guitar player having this drum kit would help inspire generations and possibly help me overcome my depression/disability after surgery and failed physical therapy classes, I know how to drum and basically it's all I CAN do anymore but I don't have a kit to jam with or the money to get one..
Okay, okay.. It's been quite a long time I was looking for a nice and not too expensive e-drum to record with the band I am creating, and I feel like I find the one! This sounds amazing! Can't wait to try it
I'm a drummer who was always reluctant to playing on an e-drum but now that I live in an appartment I am looking for a decent, not overpriced kit and this could very well be the one. Would love to win it! Congrats on the great review and video.
Hey , This Drumkit is Awesome 🤩 A Electronic Set would be my Dream , …with a Accoustic Set I cant play anytime , and i couldn't play together with my Friends . But with a E-Drumkit i could play anytime with my Friends this would be Awesome to my next Birthday … Stay Healthy ^^
I remember the first batch of Roland V-drum where so expensive in the days. For 1000$ CAN that is really an amazing kit you got there. You even got the module, just plug the MIDI out in a lap top and use all the samples you want.
i started off as a drummer and now i might return to drumming again, this kit looks like the real deal! and for the money it's perfect! i definitley consider getting this in the future if i pair it up with a nice double kick pedal and a drum amp i'll be ready to return to drumming again, peace!
I JUST unpacked my new set last evening, this is a better kit than the Roland TD27 they (GC) was trying to sell me for $1499. I couldn't believe how much research I had to do to be comfortable buying an E-Drum kit. There are ZERO regrets in buying this kit. This kit is ONE THIRD the cost of the Roland and offers more (The Roland came without a Kick pedal, hi-hat stand or throne)
Christopher LaFreniere - same with the Fame dd one and the xdrum dd650, there’s none in the states for him to try. I’m very tempted to get one of these German kits, I’m just worried it will develop problems a few yrs down the line. You can either get an old Roland second hand or one of these for reasonable money.
O yes, this kit is amazing. And your review too! I really like this kinda videos where you can hear the kit and you dig into the features. I already saw your other video on this drum set and I was stoked, now even more. Thank you for your good review and I look forward to have this on my own, won by this giveaway or not🙂
Hi Simon, hi guys! Since xmas '19 I (m, 39, germany) got the Millenium MPS-850. :-) I have learned its extually an Alesis kit. My wife proposed such a kit for our kids. I said: Awwww, edrums suck!!! Especially for metal!!! UNTIL I got the idea on RU-vid to use a VST setup. Yeah. That s so much fun, dude. I love it. And the nice thing is, it sounds like an expansive kit. I'm using EZDrummer2 with several extensions. From "DarkMatter" to "Progressive". For the MIDI remapping I'm using Plogue Bidule. But there should be some free MIDI tools. For more Cymbals I ordered a AudioFront eDRUMin Trigger to MIDI interface. It's a great device. Befor having this eDRUMin, I splitted the Tom3 and Tom4 head and rim trigger, and connected those Millenium mono cymbal pads. I like cymbals. See link. And i want it to be like on my acoustic set. I wont spent 3k for trigger2midi interface. But now it sounds like an expensive kit. I "playes" on Mapex, Gretsch, DW, Pearl, Tama, Sonor Snares, Toms ... YEAH! On my "real" kit I got a 70€ Pearl Export or somthing! *hahaha* Great! I like very much the combination of note and volts! NOW I am a eDrum fan!!! So, if you got a notebook, an ASIO compatible audiointerface grab that kit. Of course the sounds of the module a also usable! A lot a fun! Greetings, keep on rockin'!!! See my setup: drive.google.com/open?id=1ua6RM_D9WgJ-MagP0aMbchLoL6mzVg3x If you have questions, feel free to contact me.
I started playing the drums 2 years ago. (got an old acoustic one from a friend--a drum teacher, but too noisy for neighbours so I haven't played for a year now) This drumset sounds amazing! I have been dreaming about one like that for my 4oth birthday, that would be fantastic. I hope i will be able to get one like that soon, or maybe win it here. By the way, I really like your turtle necklace as well. Thank you for your video :) be well!
I am a hobbyist drummer. However, due to the environmental conditions I am in, it is not possible for me to play acoustic drums without disturbing my neighbours. In this regard, an electronic drum set is just what I need. I used to have an e-drum set of a well-known brand name but I was not very happy with its rubber pads. The Millenium MPS-850 with two-zone drum pads with mesh heads, two- and three zone cymbal pads, 12" hi-hat pads on tripod playable by way of a conventional pedal, and a kick pad with foot pedal which bring the lucky drummer very close to the playing feel of an acoustic drum kit, while also being relatively quiet would be an ideal practice drum set for me to use in my room. I find the sound of this e-drum set and the its module with 100 play-along songs fantastic. I will be more than happy to have one to sharpen my drumming skills at home.
I picked this kit up a week ago, I think I got the last one in stock! It's a nice kit however I'd love a video with some instructions explaining the module and triggers, it's not clear in the manual for the average user - for instance I have a really difficult time getting the hi-hat to trigger exactly how I want it
I bought these today. I've been using a Yamaha DTX400 kit for 11 years now, which still works pretty good. But the Hi-Hat has almost stopped giving sound now, and I replaced the kickdrum pedal just like 6 months ago, so they certainly are worth their retirement. Anyways, I really hope these will do for now! Think I'll invest in this EZ drummer everyone talks about. I've been recommended Reaper by a friend of mine who has done a course in audio production at a univerity. But if anyone knows any ther programs you'd rather recommend please do tell!

Subscribed! It's great to see new web content from Thomann. Currently own an MPS-300.. guess it's time to upgrade! Cheers from France :)
Hi, one question abou the active contest about this and the other videos posted recently: third question asks about Simon's necklace , but you've responded a question in this video to some guy asking about the necklace and said that was bought in Thailand, so this necklace doesn't belong to Thomman's clothes or accesories. So, what we have to answer to the question?
Amazing...I wish could win this kit for my students at my drumschool in Verona - Italy (The school called Moderna Bardolino and is situated in front of the Lake of Garda). Good luck to everybody!
I haven't played drums since 2013 due to a number of circumstances. I cry just thinking about playing again! I hope I still win. I've been debating about whether to save for an acoustic set or settle on an electric set, and this looks like exactly what I need! 😭
Nice test and cool channel. It would be great to own again drumkit after 15 years break of drumming. I planed to buy one for long time, but apartament credit is more important. GJ keep it going, cheers 😉
Wish I had a drumset like that so I could express my passion. I have ZERO money and can’t afford to spend any, as I think I should save up for a master’s degree. But as soon as I have enough, I’ll make everything possible to have a similar set, if it’s still on the market of course!
I am very late to drumming (60!) and would appreciate some helpful advice please. This kit looks and sounds great but I’ve watched a review stating the rack is a bit low. I have narrowed my choice down between the Millennium MPS 850 and Carlsbro CSD600. Can anyone offer me some suggestions/guidance please? Thanks in advance.
This looks like a brilliant kit. Would love to win this so I could teach my 2 boys (9 - 11) as they're starting to show a lot of interest in drumming at the minute.
Not keen on the in-built sounds (I rarely am with ANY of these e-kits, tbh). BUT hooking it up to a vst plugin like Addictive Drums 2 or similar would take this kit to a WHOLE different level!
Why I should win this? Pretty simple: Because I‘d love to have a electronic drum set to practice on and to record ideas. The only problem is that I couldn‘t afford such a kit. So you would make me and the entire neighborhood extremely happy 😉
Can you provide some details on what sounds were used here (e.g., preset kit numbers, midi triggered external samples) and post-processing (reverb etc.)?
Wow, hope i could win this one!! My first e-drum was a prototipe before the oficial the first thomman e-drums under the brand tribal and still works, so hope this new one will come, in order to continue growing up my drum skills!
I really fell in love with this kit on first sight. It's one of the few last pieces in my own small "home-studio" and if I could win it, that would be crazy. Is it even still up for grabs? :) Grüße aus Bayern!
Does anyone know if it's possible to set it up with 3 rack Tom's instead of 2 floor Tom's? I really hate the 2 floor Tom thing. It's just kinda pointless to me unless you put one to the left of the hi hat
Ich habe mich vor 41Jahren in die Musik verliebt, mein Sohn 13 Jahre verliebt sich gerade sehr und möchte sich ein Home Studio mit Schlagzeug einrichten. Den Motif bekommt er von mir, das E drum vielleicht von meinem Lieblings Dealer Thomann. Ach übrigens, nach dem Besuch letzten Herbst bei Thomann mit meinem Sohn war er very impressed von allem,inklusive Hallo sagen bei Hans 😉 Lieben Gruß aus Südtirol
Jesus! I think i fell in Love. 🥰🥺 I love millennium, I already bought the exact same Cajón in the Background a few years ago. I‘m currently playing on a used E-Drum set (from Alesis) which is quite Old but it still works. I’m looking for a new E-drum set with a bit more Equipment. And not gonna lie, but this one is Perfect. Well i Think i need to save some money, so i can afford it.😅 P.S. sorry if my grammar isn’t that well. English is not my first language.
Add a dual kick and your all set 🤘🏽 5k on the way you’ll hit it soon! I can’t wait to see who wins what? 🤗 maybe a tympani for a Tiffany or a Conga for a Carlos or a Gong for a goon? P. S. I’m a goon! And I’d need a mallet too bawangggggggggg
I have a E drum set but the screws just keep on falling out it feels weird to play and the drumset keep on falling apart maybe i should buy one of these!
My daughter aged 6 keeps nagging me to get her a drum kit - this would be amazing! I keep trying to persuade her to take up the viola like me, but it’s not working 😆
Hello great video, I have been thinking about getting this but I want to know, is it compatible with a double bass drum peddle? If so which on should I use? Thank you!
I don't think i SHLOUD be the one to win, because everybody has the equal chance to win , but if i'd win , i'd play so much to get better! i'd train every single day , record a lot easier too haha
Man i hate having to play drums to a schedule because of my neighbors hoping I can win and practice more often (I’m a beginner so I need all the practice I can get )
Hello guys! hope you're fine! i'm thinking the millenium drums could be great option, but between MPS 750X or MPS 850 what is the best choice and why? Someone help me please? many thanks
This is basically everything id need from a mid ekit. Ill end up cleaning the midi up via GGD or using that as the samples. So the main thing Im worried about is it being confortable to play. The main problem I usually have with ekits is getting them set up high enough as I'm very long in the leg. / tall overall. Id be tempted to order this right now otherwise. Ill be using a double kick as well and sometimes the kick drum pad isnt very stable... But then again the last time I looked into this was 8 years ago. At that point ekits especially entry ones were pretty shit so I never got one.
Can you someow adjust the kickdrum sensitivity? I have this kit just now, and use a double pedal I bought extra with round felt beaters - trying to play at night not kicking the sh** out of the bass drum, but it's basically inaudible unless I stomp that like a maniac ;)
