Millenium MPS-1000 Monitor E-Drum Kit Revolutionizes Practice with Built-in Bass Drum Speaker

by Madonna

“Why hasn’t anyone thought of that?” This thought comes to mind with the Millenium MPS-1000 Monitor, which cleverly integrates an e-drum amp into the bass drum—a truly innovative idea! This kit stands out not only for its unique design but also as one of the best-value options available.

Many all-in-one bundles for drums or guitars often miss essential components, like the drum hardware or guitar strap. However, that’s not the case with the MPS-1000 Monitor. It includes everything you need: drums, a drum module with sounds, cymbals, hardware, and even a drum throne. It wouldn’t be surprising if Millenium also included a pair of drumsticks!

As the flagship model, the MPS-1000 is priced significantly lower than competitors such as Roland, Efnote, or Alesis. Here’s what you get with this setup:

  • 20″ x 16″ Bass Drum (with integrated monitor box)
  • 13″ x 5.5″ Dual-Zone Snare Pad
  • 10″ x 6″ Dual-Zone Tom Pad
  • 12″ x 6″ Dual-Zone Tom Pad
  • 14″ x 14″ Dual-Zone Tom Pad
  • 13″ Dual-Zone Hi-Hat Pad with foot controller
  • 2x 15″ Dual-Zone Crash Pads with choke
  • 18″ Triple-Tone Ride Pad with choke

Since these are electronic drums, you can play any genre you desire! Moreover, Millenium has thoughtfully included all the necessary hardware: three cymbal stands, a drum throne, a snare stand, a kick pedal, a dual mount for the toms, and a stand for the e-drum module. But there’s more to the MPS-1000 Monitor.

If you prefer acoustic drums, you might question the wisdom of integrating a monitor speaker into the bass drum. Wouldn’t that compromise the beautiful low-frequency resonance? However, in the realm of e-drums, where sounds are triggered electronically, the physical drums themselves produce minimal sound.

Not everyone enjoys playing with headphones, and some live situations may not provide an optimal in-ear monitoring setup. You might also miss the ‘oomph’ of a physical bass drum sound. This is where e-drum amps become essential, and the Millenium MPS-1000 Monitor offers a built-in solution right within the bass drum.

The kit also comes with a comprehensive drum module featuring 40 factory kits, 40 user kits (with 820 sounds available), a built-in metronome, 23 effects, eight direct outputs, two headphone outputs, and 335 megabytes for user samples. Additionally, it includes a USB-A port for connecting an external hard drive or USB stick for loading extra drum samples and a USB-B port for connecting to your computer.

Considering all that it offers, the Millenium MPS-1000 Monitor is one of the best budget e-drum kits on the market, priced at just 1,098 euros at Thomann.
