It's not expansive, in a view to increase the DTXpress kit...
What's your opinion about that kit ?...

Are you planning to add something like this to the DTXpress kit--rack 
and all? It's hard to tell much from the picture. What do we know 
about the manufacturer Millennium? It might be a nice kit, but one 
thing I can tell you is that the heads are not mesh but mylar, since 
Roland holds the patent on meshes, and no company in Europe to my 
knowledge licenses the design from them. So the pads will not 
be "silent," in the woven-head sense. If you liked Yamaha's mylar 
heads with the original DTXtreme, or ddrum's cast precision heads, 
you might like these, depending on how well they trigger. The cymbals 
look like a takeoff from the Yamaha wedges. Hopefully, the rack is 
the standard tubing etc.  Can you play one anywhere?

Here's what I was able to dig up about the kit in French from someone 
who seems to have researched it:

Ce prix exceptionnel est une offre spécial de la société. 
Tous les pads (cymbales y compris) sont en mono, contrairement aux 
CY6 de Roland qui ont 2 zones de déclenchement (mais les PD6 ont une 
seule zone). 
Le rack Millenium MPS-300 a la même qualité que le rack Roland 
(NDLR : Mais il est noir, bleu c'est un peu kitch !  ). 
Les pads offrent des sensations de toucher proches de véritables toms 
accoustiques.  
 
Translation: This is a special offer from Thomann. All of the pads 
are mono, including cymbals, unlike the Roland CY-6, which are stereo 
(though the PD-6 is mono). 

The rack is black (blue is a bit kitsch). The pads have a feel that 
approximates acoustic drums. The price is low probably because it is 
made in China or Indonesia.
