Millenium MPS-850 review

The MPS-850 gives you the most drum set for the money on this list. Thomann, which sells Millenium as its in-house brand, lists six mesh-head drum pads, including two 8-inch and two 10-inch toms, a 10-inch two-zone snare and an 8-inch mesh kick, plus two 12-inch crashes and a 12-inch three-zone ride with choke. The hi-hat pad sits on a stand with a controller, which is unusual at this price. The module has 550 voices, 30 preset kits, 100 play-along songs and WAV sample import, and the rack, hi-hat machine and foot pedal are in the box. Thomann's US site listed it at $559 when we checked. For quiet use, Thomann advises using the black plastic side of the beater to protect the kick mesh head; that harder side may knock more on the floor than felt. We compared documented features and published prices; we did not test it.
