This CHEAP Acoustic Design Electronic Drum Kit is EPIC 

“Press the ON button and what that does is turn it on”

I purchased one of these kits this time a year ago, I did read the manuals as it didn't feel right, just as you described, you are very informative and honest, great guy. Awesome skills to boot!

Glad to see this kit didn't turn out to be a waste! Great stuff as always!

This video is very helpful as someone considering buying this kit. Thanks a lot! And incredible drum skills my guy!🥁

I have been trying to find a decent e-kit for a reasonable price without it looking like a bunch of rubber saucers attached to a bent flag pole. I came across this kit in my adventure through the internet trying to find good comprehensive reviews from actual people. Not just a random blog where the person just suggests 4 different Roland kits and says good enough. A lot of the reviews I was finding were all mentioning the exact issues you've seemed to have solved here in real time in your video. With that being said, you've sold me on this kit. Thank you for showing these fixes in real time and taking the time to go so in depth while keeping the video under 10min. You have earned my subscription, and I am happy to leave a like. As a beginner I feel like this is a really good kit to get, as I am a rather big guy and would prefer the acoustic style over the more compact majority out there on the market.

God bless the RU-vid algorithm for putting your channel in my recommended. Absolute gold

I bloody love these videos man, keep it up! amazing work for such a small channel :D

i have a feeling one day this cahnnel is going to have at least 100 k subs

It would be great to have an update video in the future where you show all your settings and how you calibrated your hi hat!! Love from Portugal 🤘

Yeahh! I am quite suprised, that it even got these settings... So you are done! Very nice! Yap the things listen to the buid in detector - called piezos, which generate a voltage when bended. The module is scanning the incomming voltage and tries to detect the peaks that occure when you hit the mesh heads. Unfortunately there something like xtalk between pads and retriggers because vibrations of the rack, or doubletriggers because after one hit the module detects the second peak of the detected waveform. Therefore the settings xtalk and retrigger cancel. With the advanced settings you go even deeper into telling the module how the waveform will look like for that pad. You know, so on Roland modules you got HOLD instead of "peak decay", but acually this module tells you why it has to wait, because its waiting for the detected peak to decay. Woooow! I think "sensetime" is equal to Rolands SCAN parameter and sets the time how long it will "analyze" the incomming peak. And kick pad will require other settings than the snare. Sensitivity and Headroom you have to set like so, that you get a velocity of 127 only if you really smashing the stick into your mesh head and at the same time you got also your low velocities. It will take some time, but - believe me - its worth it. You get way higher dynamics when setting you triggers right. The "Trigger" curve ... ok. That will give you even more control about the feeling / response of your hit and the velocity and though the triggered sample. But if you are using a VST like Toontracks EZDrummer3 its way easier to dial these curves in by using the VST GUI. It will also be library dependend. So a Gospel library samples by a jazz drummer will react in a different way that a death metal library sampled by a metal drummer. And really love that possibility to switch between those sounds. Yeah! Hope that was helpfull for you and the other readers. Don't hesitate to contact me. Greetings from Germany!

thomann presumed that you read instructions. They are german after all.

@drumswithatom Did you ever sort the ride? I’m getting missed notes a lot, and I’m nowhere near your skill level. I’m definitely hitting it, but sometimes nothing gets triggered. Really annoying.

Can you please show us your hi hat settings ?? Thanks ! I still struggle with open close points and calibration

daddy atom proving the big comapnies wrong yet again 💪 love the videos keep it up

I like your videos. I haven't sat behind a kit in probably 10 years. I was an "ok-ish to pretty decent beginner" drummer back then, but stopped playing/practicing when I went beck to finish my degree while working full time. Sold a very nice Tama kit (with Zildjian K dark cymbals) to invest in my daughter's growing piano interest. Best investment I ever made as she is a wonderful player and it's still her passion. But I've been itching to play again. This e-kit sounds like a perfect way to get back into it. Here's to continued success and more subs...keep it up.

7:53 extremely important! :) thank you for the review, had a lot of fun!

£1,000? Cheap?

Hey atom, just wanted to say that you are doing very well! So happy you uploaded!!!

Love your Videos bro 👍Your editing is so good and you have incredible drumming skills:D Your the most underrated RU-vidr

You almost had me there with the prank😅

This is awesome! Congratulations on getting you big break mate☺️

Louder, so the price gouging "premium" eDrum companies in the back can hear you.

but the wood is shit.... like your positive vibe.. but please, qaality control... I see other RU-vidrs saying the wood is crap and gonna break by time very quickly and not work over yers to come... is this your opinion as well?! I am looking into this one and the smaller 850 now... but stopped my order when people show details of the wood working being really bad, according to them that is... now what about your opinion? thanks !

does it work with ez drummer -superior drummer

Nice and entertaining video 👏

Hi err how exactly did you calibrate your hi hat?

Just imagine if you bought the Roland module alone and replaced the module to this.

Thanks for the hi hat calibration settings, Not perfect but much better now,,

Well after watching this video I bought this kit and 1 year later what do I think? You can't get better bang for your buck. Had 3 replacement cymbals curtseys of the 3 year warranty and Thonman are super brilliant and quick to replace, and the kick drum is possibly now missing the very occasional note and might need a new sensor. That said I play at least a couple of hours every day and it's taking some hits! Other than that? Oh yer I added a TD-27, Roland digital hi-hat, digital snare/ride, a Pearl hi-hat stand and Peral Demon XR double base, and the kits just amazing. Glad I bought it based on this video.

I purchased this kit too, it's kind of a headache to setup but very rewarding once you get into. Any chance you share your hi-hat open point settings? Great playing btw you're an excellent drummer!

Hey mate, great videos! I am looking at purchasing one of these, but just wanted to know if you stuck with this kit, and if so, how you got on with it after a longer period. Cheers

This kid is amazing 😂

the only real big problem i see in reviews is that the harware is pretty bad, can you survive with it or should i eventually upgrade it to make everything more stable?

This guy has such good quality of production how his amount of subs he needs more subs! The absolute weapon.

Hi man ! Thanks a lot for your advices, it helped a lot ! Can you share with us your go to built up drum kit ? Or your favorite drum sounds ?? I struggle to find a good built up drum kit for rock/métal music. Thanks a lot !!

Love it but bring back the acoustic! Need the crapstack back

Great Video! Im not shure if i will get this Set or the Efnote3x.. But its three times more expensive.. It sucks that you can not test these things before buying. ps. You should also read the comments. He wrote close to zero and not zero. Maybe this will still make a difference?

In Indonesia it got rebrand to Nokku.... And im facing the same issue,.. Im gonna try what you tried... Hope the problem fix too

How did you setup the hi hat? I am having trouble because it almost always trigger the "open" hihat even after an hour of tweaking the settings.

I’ve been saving for this kit for the last 8 months, and now there are none in stock. 💀😭😭

Great video man! Please explain how to configure the VST's with the drum kit. Thanks !

Thanks for the review! Could you share the settings you made?

Thanks for the info!! I was planning on getting this to replace my wonky small alesis kit and I was curious how well it would trigger my vsts, particularly hi hat response. I'm fully confident that the kit will suit my needs thank you!

alright bruh, after seeing the ending of this video, i HAD to subscribe 💀

Can someone tell me how much space do I need for the Millennium MPS 1000 edrum kit

Thanks for the video. Why aren't these drums sold in America by Guitar Center or Amazon or somebody local? If there is a problem, you have to deal with an overseas German company? Thanks

TBF, I think the hi hat calibration is the first thing they tell you to do after powering it up in the manual. That being said, the response from the manufacturer is total BS! This is the first thing I’ve heard that makes me second guess buying this kit. I’m planning to grab this thing and upgrade the module when I find a good used deal.

Would a double kick drum pedal work with this kit?

Are you willing to make a video on how to use the midi with laptop/computer and drum software combo?! That would be so freakin helpfull. What drum software you use and what sound packs etc.. can not seem to find a decent video!!

I want one of these SO bad but Thomann won't ship the set to the US because it's too big RIP my affordable hopes and dreams

Such a good video man, has that high production value feel.

I think that's the first time I've heard the word 'cheap' used to describe something over $1000

Hey nice re-review hahaha. I’ve got one question though. How about the hihat pedal, is it good? Currently I have the millenium MPS-750 and the hi hat pedal really sucks. Now I’m planning to get the 1000 model but I wonder if the pedal is good or not. In case it stills the same, can I replace it for another? Thanks!!!

Good video fella.

There you go; just RTFM! ;-) Still nice vids on that kit though 👍 Oh, and those mirrored scenes are freaky - all lefty guitars and reading from right to left in an alphabet I don't know :-o

Would be interested to set it up with superior drummer 3. :)

WE UP❗❗🗣💯

I recommend you superior drummer, but I know that is very expensive, but you can download pirate for free, I have a very basic Roland and this makes that sounds awesome, you play very very good🙌

MY MAN GOT VIEWS

You have very essential Informations. Thanks and thanks for the Tips from this Community 🎉

Wouldn't playing an acoustic kit fix ALL of these problems? :-P

can u please tell all the general advanced settings u set up to make it sound this good? I really don't know how to do

Amazing review. I'm moving into an apartment soon and wanted an acoustic style electric set. You're an amazing player. Thank you a ton for the info

Is it possible to stop the cymbals sound by hand?

1:55 :D

Noice video

6 months later... How are they holding up?

Hello Atom, Great vid, helpfull and funny. And great playing. I just got me the same kit. I like it so far but..... I cannot get the hihat right. I really haven't got a clue how to set all the different parameters in the HH calibration proces. Would you - or anyone else reading this and allready found out - be so kind to tell me all the exact values of the distinct parameters. So I can copy them and finally enjoy playing my kit. Thanks in advance. Kind regards and greetings from a Dutch drummer 🥁

Can you run different module with this kit ?? Or does it have to be the one it comes with . So say the pearl mimic pro or efnote module

How is the latency? Is it also the same when you use a VST?

I was actully in your position aswell, scared to order this kit but it turns our this kit is really amazing! I made on my channel a full in- depth unboxing for the kit and some demos of me playing it! All the videos since i got the kit are only played on it and the feel is incredible! Highly recommend this. Keep up the amazing videos my guy!

It appears that rather then ask someone with any real experience with e-drums, or a trained tech(which I doubt they even have for this being a very small company that has just broke ground in this market, but didn't actually design the kit but instead had a already existing components rebranded...mostly) they merely replied to your inquiry into issues with triggering via a customer service rep...very unprofessional. I mean, the rep didn't even try to refer you to any professional. Just lazy. But at least they did reply. Even if it was probably a copy and paste type message. Rule of thumb though, never blame the issue on the customer before exploring all possibilities first. "Oh our cheap Chinese made product is flawless, so it has to be you that is causing the problems. User error." WOW lmao You do need to adjust your playing a little from acoustic to electric. Going to electric I think is sometimes an easier adjustment...except with the cymbals.

Hi, thanks for the review! What about the rim shot on the snare, Is It possibile with this kit? Playing the rim and the center toghether? I have also 2 more questions: the "crescendo" on the cymbals ? Is also possibile to load the sounds in the module instead of connecting to PC with vst?

Their comment blaming your style and why replacing it wouldn't help... isn't completely wrong. My foot technique on hi-hat is somewhat lazy (inconsistent, even) and sounds passable with acoustic cymbals. But that does not translate perfectly to electronic hi-hats (in my case, the EF Note 2-piece hi-hats). I did have to adjust (pay more attention to my technique) to get better consistency. Though, it is still a terrible response from Millenium. Didn't even attempt to help you troubleshoot.

try it with a virtual drum plugin like EZdrummer3 or AddictiveDrums

How you finding the hi hat? Im thinking of getting the hi hat that comes with the mps1000 as an upgrade for my mps850.

Great video! Suggestion; you should change your bass drum mallet (the-thing-that-hits-the-bass-drum-head-when-you-press-the-pedal-that-is-attached-to-the-mallet) from felt to plastic. Felt eats the mesh head quite fast. You have already drum sticks with plastic head so everything is good there. Keep these videos coming!

Well… i have a Alesis D4… 🤷🏼‍♂️

The only thing that worries me about anything not Yamaha or Roland is reliability. Ive bought decades old used Roland stuff that still triggers perfect. Id be interested to see how this stuff holds up long term.

Any info how the base drum works with double pedal?

good vid

How do you broadcast your content? Do you prerecord and edit and post or are you recording in real-time using an interface or IRig?

Bloody brilliant 😂😂

Thanks for the updated review! I'm looking to get back into drumming, but I don't want to pay the highest price and I sadly have neighbors who I don't wanna fight with. And accidentally I ran into your previous video on this kit a week ago or so. Before your previous video, I was thinking about taking a risk and getting this electronic kit. But after your video I basically forgot about it. Now I may actually get this kit after all, once I've saved enough money. I'll be sure to use your affiliate link.

❤🎉🎉

Just bought this one myself. Can I ask what settings you set for the hi-hat (after calibration) ?

bro ur grooves are too underrated

I really wanna buy this kit and plug it into my ezdrummer so this video is perfect ! so now i know if i get the same problem in the future on how to solve them!

Can someone tell me the dimensions of this drum kit? Thanks! Alguien podría decirme cuánto espacio ocupa? Gracias!

You are such a funny and cool guy! Keep up the good work!

Hi, can you tell me if you are satisfied with this set and how it feels to you since I plan to get one for myself? Otherwise you play very well... Thanks for the answer... :)

Did you manage to connect it to ezdrummer? does it have a sound card like the roland td50 to send the vst sounds back to the module outputs? How is latency with a pc vst host? C'mon man gi'me content :)

I'm curious, is this expandable? So if you wanted to make this 5 piece kit an 8 piece, are there enough trigger inputs?

I just got mine, but I picket the new 2 floor config. Do you have your advance settings somewhere, so you can share them with other users?

I've been struggling with the same triggering issues on my mps 750x edrums. Could you please do a video about how you calibrated everything? I bet it would be a big help for a lot of people out there. Cheers.

Feck-a-doodle-doo! What amazing customer support from Thomann there! Proving that they are simply website warehouse wan...,er......merchants. Great video Atom, & fantastic playing!

Hi. I want to get back to playing drums after a long break, but I live in an apartment so playing on my old acoustic set is not an option anymore. Have you played metal on it (blast beats, double bass etc.)? How would you rate this kit after 6 months of playing? Is it quiet enough to not annoy the neighbours? Does it feel close to an acoustic set?

6:30 great playing man !

Hi mate, my hi hat seems to think its upside down?? It thought that when my foot was down - this gave a high value, and when my foot was off the pedal it gave a lower value. Has anyone got any advice on how to calibrate it?

hey good video! how are the settings of your hi hat? I just can't get it set so that it works properly, I'm starting to think that it's defective.
