Millenium MPS300

2004-07-02 by epvk_jahoe

Hi electrodrummers,

Short introduction about me:
After playing African percussion for five years I also started
lessons on the drumset a year 
ago, and I have loved it from the first minute! I almost immediately
bought a DTXPress II, 
and I enjoyed many hours playing with it. I must say that this forum
has been extremely 
helpful in understanding and using the DTXPII!!!

My question:
I was thinking about expanding the kit with two PCY65S's. Browsing on
the Thomann 
website, I found the Millenium MPS300 kit (http://
www.netzmarkt.de/thomann/
thoiw2_artikel-165007.html?sn=1629ce8e53b7a6f43082f7c32a30a914), a
very, very 
cheap one with real head pads. It's tempting to buy this one instead
of the Yamaha 
cymbals, in particular since a more realistic snare would also be
interesting, and with the 
MPS300 the possibilities are huge (especially in combination with the
'Magic Box'). 
However, the quality of the MPS300 may be terrible.
	Browsing on the internet I only found some French descriptions of
the pads rather 
than a review. Summarizing the small discussion on the edrumming.com
forum, the 
MPS300 is produced by Medeli Digital Drums (http:/
/www.medeli.com.hk/products/dd/
index.html#), a Hong Kong company, but no one could report some
experiences with it. So 
the big question is: does anyone have experience with this drum kit,
or with another 
Medeli product?
	Unless some people have a good review, I will stick to the PCY65S
strategy and 
perhaps buy a better snare in the future.

Cheers,

Erik Paul
