how do rimshots work? thinking of buying this kit but I'm wondering does it trigger a rimshot just based on how hard you're hitting the drum pad or do you actually have to rimshot like a real drum? and also do you have to plug your headphones into the pc or do they go into the sound module when using something like EZ drummer?
you can get the rimshot when you hit the rim itself. In the menu you can set the sensitivity, how hard you have to hit the rim to trigger the rimshot sound and when it should trigger a normal rim click sound. So you get two different sound from the rim depending on how hard you hit the rim, one rimshot sound and one rim click sound. For the headphones you will have them connected to your pc to get the sound from EZ drummer. I bought a 3 meter extension cable to my headphones so that way i have five meters cable to my computer and also bought a usb A 5 meter cable to connect to my computer. There is no latency (noticable) using EZ drummer and ASIO driver.
Hi Niklas is the millennium MPS-1000 compatible with superior drummer 3 your drums in this video sound completely different from my mps 1000 module i assume your using some sort of vst
Hi, in the video i have the drums connected to EZ drummer 2. Since then i have upgraded to EZ drummer 3 and it works really good just using an usb cable and ASIO driver, no latency. I havent tried superior drummer 3, but hey, im sure it works since its Toontrack :)
@@joyster75 hi it’s me again do I just plug in the midi (usb) cable and load ez drummer or superior and I’m ready or do I have to tweak in setting on the module?
@@filipedrums just connect it with usb. You shouldnt need to tweak the menu, in EZ drummer 3 there you can set mps1000 in the menu settings and it should be the same in sp3 i think
@@joyster75 hey its me again, I finally got the gear i needed for ezdrummer 3. A question i have is, did you need to download any drivers before or did you just select mps-1000 as a option?
Good stuff! Have you had any issues with the hihat? I've heard that it can have some problem with the hihat triggering etc..! What are your experience? :D
thanks! yeah, i have noticed that if you lift the hihat too high it sometimes triggers an open splash sound. I have talked to Thomann about it and they answered that they are working on it and there will be an update in a couple of months. To avoid that splash open sound you can make sure the hihat isnt opened that much. Other than that, the drums are really nice. In this video i have connected them to my computer using EZ drummer2, and there is no noticable latency :)
Hey mate, I’ve noticed you’ve been really helpful in the comments already so sorry to Bombard you with another question 😅 Are you still finding it to be working in good condition? Also has the hi hat issue been fixed? And have they added any more sounds that sound better without need of vts?? Thanks!
Tell me, please, how often do new firmware updates come out and are there new features that were not previously available in the MPS-1000 module? I really like the feature in the new Yamaha DTX series modules where you can create layers of different sounds (both standard timbres and user samples) for each individual zone of the pad and assign a specific part of the dynamic range to each layer (voice). As far as I understand, there is nothing like this in the MPS-1000, right? Can we expect similar functions, even if very simplified, in new firmware? I saw you wrote that you do not use the built-in library because of the poor quality of the timbres, but prefer the EZ Drummer. But maybe you have tried to get better results with custom samples? Sorry for asking so much, I just really want to know more information in order to decide on the choice of installation!
To be honest, i havent tried the sounds in the module that much. You can import your own samples in the module but not layered sounds. But i am so satisfied with the sounds in EZ drummer 3 that i never bothered about the internal sounds in the module. I am sure the new Yamaha DTX is really good, but for me the price is a concern, and i think you get alot of drums for the money with mps-1000. But the best you can do is try for yourself, if you know someone that own a mps-1000 or a Yamaha DTX and decide from there :)
Im not sure how often they update but now when i look i see there is a new version i havent tried yet, version 21. You can find it here www.thomann.de/se/millenium_mps_1000_e_drum_set.htm

One question, can you hear the sound of ezdrummer while you're playing? Or can it only be heard when you have already recorded your session? thank you!
@@joyster75 And tell me about the triggers, do they work correctly and detect all the hits at the correct force? I had read that the hihat failed, can you give me your opinion? thank you Niklas!
@@qq-qj8xo triggers on the pads works fine, you can finetune them how sensitive they are. The hihat is the only thing i can complain on, even though im used to it and it works okay after tweaking the settings for it.
i have been playing on the kit almost everyday for about 8 months now. Nothing broken, works like a charm. The hardware is great and i think it will last for a long time, i havent had any problems with it.
@@TheMeatUnicycle the sounds in the module sounds cheap, but i use ez drummer3. But other than that im happy with the set. I guess if you buy it now you will get the latest version of the hihat, but you will have to ask Thomann about that if you want to be sure.
How is the triggering overall, any missed hits, double triggers etc (especially when recording midi) / using a VST? Also how good is the side trigger on the snare? I've seen most snares have center triggers. Finally, how good is the ride? Does the bell, bow and edge trigger reliably? If the durability and triggering is good, I would consider this over an Alesis Strike Pro SE, I could always upgrade the module for better sounds later, as long as the pads and cymbals are good. Sorry for the long questions, but I can't find much info about this kit.
I have owned MPS-1000 six months now..and i really like it. I have bought an extra floor tom and also got the new hihat version. The sounds in the module are kinda crappy, but i use it with EZ drummer 3 and its just fantastic. The triggering works fine and you can finetune it in the module with settings like sensitivity, headroom and so on. Even though i have five acoustic sets in my house, i would say i play mostly on my MPS-1000..
@@TheMeatUnicycle the build quality is actually really good. And it feels almost like playing on an acoustic set. I have owned a ddrum set before and its like night and day.
@@joyster75 Thank you! Also is it loud without the amp connected to it. Do you think you would hear it from another room? I have noise issues with my acoustic set and I was wondering how loud this one was. Thanks man!
@@TheMeatUnicycle i only play with headphones, but when my son plays them when headphones and i am in another room i wouldnt say the noise is that loud. I live in a house and dont have neighbours under me so guess if you live in an apartment your neighbours below will hear the bass drum pedal. But i you put the drums on a thick carpet i think it wouldnt be that much of a problem. And if you want to change the mesh heads you can always buy 3ply mesh heads that are even more quite, but i havent tried them.
Hello! Was the midi-mapping correct in ez-drummer 2 by default, or did you have to fix this in the module. Read that you can’t change the mapping in ezdrummer.
Nice, skulle du rekommendera köp av detta kit för att styra ez-drummer eller superior drummer? Du ser ju vass ut så antar du testat de lite mer ”lyxiga” Roland varianterna också
@@nilsfalth791 jag har endast ägt ddrum innan o har provat lyxigare roland i butik. Jag är nöjd med mps-1000 om man kör genom ez drummer..ljuden i själva modulen är ingen höjdare men med ez drummer känns det riktigt nice. Gillar att det känns som att spela på ett akuatiskt då jag har fem andra akustiska set o övar på det här när man inte vill störa andra men lätt att applicera det man övar på dessa digitala när man väl sitter på de vanliga trummorna
Tack för info, gött! Ja det får nog bli ett sånt här för mig. Vet du om det funkar med Roland triggers? Har en trigger och en extra golvpuka så är bara ett mesh-head som saknas så får jag 4 pukor om det funkar. Det enda jag känner mig lite skeptisk till är virveln. Hade gärna haft en med tre zoner, men då får det ju bli dyrare. Kände det ok med rimshot-/crosstick varianten de har på denna? Har också ezdrummer men funderar på att uppgradera till sd3 om kitet känns bra!
@@nilsfalth791 ja rimshot funkar bra man kan ställa in hur hårt man ska slå för att det ska bli vanligt kantslag eller om det ska bli rimshot..jag var lite skeptisk innan jag beställde o funderade först på 850 men glad jag valde 1000 varianten istället.
@@hrvojehrcobrnica before i even unboxed my set i watched a youtube video where an italian guy talked about hihat problems. So i reached out to Thomann and asked about this problem and they replied that the very aware of it and that they worked on it.

If you raise the hihat a little extra and in the settings you adjust it in advance menu how low and how high it should go, then you physically lower the hihat a centimeter or two, now you wont get that "splash" sound..
