Hi. What part of the bass pad your pedal stick is hitting? Very center of the bass pad or a little bit lower? Thank you.
hey i'm not 100% sure what you mean but the the beaters of the kick pedal are both hitting the middle :)
Thank you Jimmy for your suggestion about the use of Asio4all: this completely solved my problem with letancy.
I have a suggestion for you: if you configure AD identifing the MPS 850 as a Roland kit (i.e. TD 10, TD 20 or TD 9) all pad and cymbal of the Millennium will be correctly mapped by AD, and your hi hat will be recognized with 4 different open level, not just open/closed; only the hi-hat splash is still missing, but you can try to improve it using the learn function
Hey I'm glad it worked for you! Sorry for the slow reply I didn't see this! Thank you for the tip as well I'll definitely try this! Thank you again! :)
Can you use ezdrummer 2 or 3 with the millennium mps-850?
I have tried to connect mine but dont get it to work :(
Hey yeah you can use any drum software, I made a video about how to get it all set up, I hope it helps. Also sorry the video is so awkward I'm no good at talking on camera 😂

Hi i can't get the hihat to work properly....I can't select all samples for the hihat, how did yo do it?
I kinda sorted it out, but now I am having this problem that I can't add the edge sound for the 2 crash cymbals
Can you help?
I just used the learn function in AD2, is you hihat controller turnt on? (The big piece that goes under the hihat, should be a switch to turn it on) hopefully that helps
@@Pauluz_The_Web_Gnome Sorry only just saw your reply, I'm not really sure what to suggest, over then the learn function :/ Sorry I couldn't be more helpful
@@Jimmyoldfield Thanks for taking the time to answer my question...But I have seen a video that explains how the learn function works and how to use the hihat open close triggers and edge sound for the crashes! So I have figured it out finaly!
@@Pauluz_The_Web_Gnome That's awesome I'm glad you figured it out! :)
Apologies if this is a stupid question to ask but do you have to buy a speaker for this E-drum set in order for it to work in a venue setting? I'm thinking of buying one but I'm not sure how the thing works. Thanks
Hey No worries it's not a stupid question at all :) I think to gig with an electric drum kit you would defiantly need a speaker of some sort! Hope this helps! :)
@@Jimmyoldfield Hey, thanks very much for the reply. Can I ask do you have to have your laptop connected to the drums in order to load in the Addictive Drums samples? If you were to play in a live setting would you have to have your laptop with you in order to use AD2 with the kit? Thanks
@@Brenners2010 You're welcome and I'm pretty sure you'd need a laptop to load AD2 or anything like that. But you can get a usb and load your own samples into the module
Hi, I have some problem with the hi-hat. Can I Ask you a photo of your hi-hat and his jack?
I'm trying in every way but I don't have any improvement.
Thanks
Sorry for the slow reply man I've only just seen this and sure i'm not sure how i can send you the picture but before i do have you turnt the hi hat on? (I know this might sound stupid, but a lot of people seem to miss the little switch on the hi hat)
@@Jimmyoldfield Hi, Jimmy, Don't worry for the late.
I solved with the hi-hat question, even if sometimes the open hi-hat there isn't with sound.
Another question: Can you sound the rimshot?
Thanks
@@simoneamoruso9365 that's really strange, I'm not really sure what to suggest and yeah you can :)
would you recommend buying this? ive been thinking about it
Defiantly man, It's an awesome kit! :)
Also if you do and you wouldn't mind, please consider using my link to buy your kit (It just helps me out and costs you nothing extra :) ) Thanks in advance :)
@@Jimmyoldfield I will
@@Tony-fx9ky Thank you! :)
Can you help me, please? I bought the same drum kit last week. It works fine but when i connect the drums with cakewalk and use sd3 or ezdrummer, sometimes the pads trigger some strange samples... in some cases when i play the snare pad, it works fine but randomly it plays a kick or a tom sample... do you know how to solve this problem?? In the video are you conecting the drums to your daw using the usb port or with the midi out?? Tks
Hey i'm sorry I didn't get back to you sooner, I only just saw this! Is your problem solved now? I'm using the usb port
Hey, real quick question, was the power supply for the hihad Y adapter included? Because Im pretty sure I couldnt find mine in any of the included boxes or maybe I did, skipped over it and lost it. If not can you tell me what power supply do I need for it because google did not help me this time. Cheers
Hey I'm sorry I can't really help as I don't have the kit anymore :/ but I know for sure that it is supposed to come with the power supply and a 3 pin adapter. Sorry I couldn't be much help and I hope you get it sorted! :)
@@Jimmyoldfield hey its okay man, cheers
I have bought this drum kit a few days ago and I have an issue with the hi hat, it doesn't allow me to choke, it just makes the same sound regardless the pedal is pressed or not. Have you had the same issue? How did you solve it?
That's strange? No I can't say I've had this issue, is the switch on the hi hat turned on? That could be the issue also make sure everything is plugged in right, if all that is fine then I would contact thomann hopefully you get it sorted! :)
@@Jimmyoldfield Thank you very much! The switch was on but I didn't plugged the hi hat controller in the right way. Subscribed!
@@xxxxdcd ah haha glad it's working now! Thank you for subscribing! :D
Is there an option to program it to make for example change the hi hat pedal to bass?
yep you can change any kit piece to anything you want hope this helps! :)
Sorry, but is there a latency problem with DB and the cymbals???
Hey thanks for watching, but no Not that I know of?
Hello there. I wanted to ask if you needed an exterior or better sound card to run the drum software.
thanks
Panos
Hey panagiotis! Thanks for subscribing! You can but you don't need to just make sure you have asio 4 all hope this helps :)
@@Jimmyoldfield Hello thanks for the answer. What is asio 4?
@@PanosRodopoulos asio 4 all is an audio driver it basically lets you play with as little latency as possible :)
@@Jimmyoldfield Thanks very much .keep drumming
@@PanosRodopoulos You're welcome man :)
Hey. Do you know how to play with a drumless track using ezdrummer2. I have downloaded asio4all. The ezdrummer2 sounds great, very low latency. Do I need an interface?
Hey I'm not 100% sure what you mean but to use ez drummer with your e kit you need a square type usb, i made video on it i'll link you :) ruclips.net/video/ggXKTOMZmnU/видео.html
Hope this helps!
Jimmy Oldfield yup. I have connected my module to my laptop and can play ezdrummer2. What I want to do is play along to a drumless track on RUclips. Yes can’t figure out how to do that. Any ideas?
@@moojii4woo Ahhh okay got you now haha, well since you're using ASIO4all it makes reaper audio the only audio you can receive (If that makes sense?) but something you could do is download the songs and put them into reaper on a seperate track, or you could download FLasio which lets you listen to youtube and reaper (But with increased latency) Hope this helps man!
Hey man I wanted to ask a question. I recently got this kit and love playing it. Recording is troublesome, I'm trying to use the usb recording feature but whenever I transfer it to my pc all programs will only play the recording back for 3 - 4 minutes. Usually clips like hell even when I turn the master down on the module. Have you ever had this happen? Still a bit off from being able to use the midi side of things.
If you or anyone has any help that'd be great.
I tried contacting Thomann but were of very little help. Sure it's a problem on my side but never had anything like this happen before.
Hey man thanks for commenting! As for the clipping problem I'm not sure what could cause that? Have you tried lowering the master volume in your daw? Also what drivers are you using? Clipping and popping can sometimes be a problem with latency for example when the buffer size is set too low I dunno if this makes any sense haha but I hope it helps feel free to ask for more help if you need to! :)
@@Jimmyoldfield Thanks for the speedy reply! It's odd, it's clipping in audacity and sony vegas. I'm not even using the midi option. It's the usb when I take it out of the module to play it on pc. I could do a few takes on one recording, say 10 minutes and when I go to play it back I can only listen to 3 or 4 minutes, never the full thing.
I tried using it in a daw, ableton to be exact. Was ok once I figured it out but the standard kits don't sound as good as how I set my module and can't afford a vst right now. ha ha 1st world problems eh
@@MrTealicious no worries dude! :) That is strange can I ask what drivers are you using? Cause normally asio 4 all will sort clipping problems out other then that I'm not really sure what to suggest hopefully you can sort this out! :)
@@Jimmyoldfield Which drivers do you mean exactly. The daw drivers? No problem, thanks for the help in any case. The usb would be convenient though doesn't seem reliable. Sure to figure out something eventually. :)
@@MrTealicious yeah you should have something like direct sound asio etc if you don't have asio 4 all that might be the problem also I'm not sure why the usb isn't working for you that's how I record all the time? It's strange :/
Hi i have a question if i wanted to change the cymbols out on this could i use cymbols from any brand say i wanted a roland cymbal will there be any problems?
Hey thanks for watching, honestly I'm not sure, I think it would work but there are no guarantees sorry I couldn't help more :)
Its okay im gonna try it out see if it works and thanks for the demonstration video i liked it
@@younglethaljun1470 you're welcome dude let me know how it goes And good luck! :)
Fo shoe and thanks :)
Dude, I've been playing the MPS-150 from 2017 to 2019 and the MPS-850 since end of 2019. I just discovered the possibility to use the module as a MIDI controller for drum VSTs and I am blown away by how much, and I mean EXTREMELY much more fun it is to play with realistic samples! Now I need to find a way to play backing tracks (on youtube or other music players) while using ASIO...
Thanks for watching man! Haha I'm glad you figured it out it does make drumming so much more fun! As for playing music while drumming one thing you could try is using a youtubetomp3 converter and just dropping the song into your DAW hope this helps! :)
use voicemeter banana, great for audio routing, so you can hear many sound sources . check this tutorial>>> ruclips.net/video/BliLxgPhlTg/видео.html
There are only open & close hi hats? No in Between?
Yeah unfortunately just open and closed
Is it possible to get hi-hat in between sound through VST softwares like, Addictive drums?
@@nahidadnan9660 no just open and closed unfortunately
Hey! I'm looking for electronic drums to play heavy/speed/death/black metal. Do you recommend that stuff for this style of speed ? Can we add another pedal ?
Yeah sure man i play alot of metal on this kit and its great! Hope this helps :)
@@Jimmyoldfield thanks a lot, let's do it !
Would you share your AD2 Drum map? I have problems setting up the HiHat in the right way...
Hey, I'm sorry but I don't have these drums or AD2 anymore. I'm pretty sure I just used the learn function. Hope this helps and thanks for watching
Hey! Great drumming! I'm thinking about buying this kit. How is the latency? Is there any? Thanks!
Thanks man! It's a great kit, I don't have it anymore as I didn't have the space, but from what I can remember there was no noticeable delay, felt great and played great! Thanks for watching! :)
great video was it difficult to congifure the kit ,? also is it possible to change the setup like have the 4th tom as "cymbal" rather then a tom
Thank you! No not at all and I think that would be okay you can change the sound of any pad to what you want hope this helps! :)
@@Jimmyoldfield strange question but could you make a video going into like how set up works and how to actually assign sounds to each pad i know a lot of people have asked cheers will subscribe
@@BlackLionRecordsTV I could yeah I'm just not really sure what people want to see in terms of set-up?
Jimmy Oldfield how you Can change a Tom to a crash or splash or China as most of us want a China where the 4th Tom is
@@BlackLionRecordsTV basically all you would need to do is hit the pad press voice and choose a voice :)
How do I put Addictive Drums 2 into my Millennium MPS-850 set?
Hey, so you can't actually put AD2 into the module, you instead use a usb to connect your module to your Laptop/Computer and run it through a DAW. Hope this helps! :)
Jimmy Oldfield Ah okay. Thank you
@@Olulu22 No worries :)
Are you playing a double base machine :)? If yes, which one did you get?
Did you mean double bass pedal? :) But yeah I am I'm using a mapex double pedal can't remember the exact one lol thanks for watching! :)
@@Jimmyoldfield Do I have to get a specific one or would any e drum bass pedal be fine?
@@lennart8996 any double pedal should do :)
Jimmy Oldfield thanks man :-) so would you suggest this drum kit ? I am considering to buy one to start practising in my apartment because I feel like playing once a week is not enough to get better
@@lennart8996 no worries man! Thank you for subscribing! :) And I definitely would but it depends on how loud you can be and how much space you have, the kit isn't massive but it is still bigger than most kits in this price and obviously because it's got mesh heads it is fairly loud! Hope this helps! :)
Hey Jimmy ! I'm about to buy this kit. Really apriciate the videos you are putting out ! Good job man ! Do you know if the kit is compatible with other brand cymbals ? Like can you swap the hihat for a Roland VH-10 for example ?
Hey thank you so much! Tbh I'm not a 100% sure, it should work but it's not guaranteed. Sorry I couldn't be more helpful thanks again for watching! :)
@@Jimmyoldfield No worries man :) Can we expect more setup videos from you ? Like for exapmle more in depth Reaper- MPS850 setups with maping maybe ? Sorry if I'm soundg stupid , but when it comes to these things I really am stupid :) This kit is very very popular, and I see a lot of people like me (noobs) asking for that kind of content on the internet. It could help us (noobs) to get started , and maybe it wold help your chanel to grow (?) Thanks again Jimmy !
@@dr_satan_ I'm hoping to get back into RUclips soon, just been struggling to get motivated. I haven't drummed for like 6 months D: haha. But with support from people like you I might just get back into it. What sort of video would you wanna see? I know you said mapping but is there anything else? Maybe like a FAQ?
@@dr_satan_ also you don't sound stupid! Everyone is new at some point so don't worry! :)
@@Jimmyoldfield challenge accepted ! :D give me few days to come up with some FAQ questions for a video. I am quite ocupied with my day job at the moment but I will come up with some questions this week, and will send you a DM ok ?
Have you ever considered buying a different hi-hat stand? From what i've heard it's supposed to improve the hi-hat.
I think I probably will sometime in the future as the stand is a little wobbly
Greetings! That's great!! Good game! Which manufacturer of Double Pedal are you using on this setup?
Thank you! :) I think it's a mapex pedal I can't remember the exact one, thanks for watching! :)
whats your computer hardware that loads the VST for AD2?
Hey thanks for watching :) do you mean the specs of my pc or the daw (software) I use?
@@Jimmyoldfield yes... i would say Millenium sounds better than Alesis
@@igormahilum9696 Sorry i'm a bit confused lol did you wanna know about my laptop? Or the software? I think so to :)
@@Jimmyoldfield your current setup. Any issues on latency.? Higher specs of laptop if required such as better video card. Thanks
@@igormahilum9696 nope latency is down to 64 samples, a graphics card isn't really required, you just need a somewhat decent CPU and 8GB Ram minimum :)
Awesome video, just looking at edits and the frames look really low down is your kit set at full height
Thank you for watching! I can't quite remember but I don't think it was at full height :)
hi. what midi mapping did you choose on AD to make it work with mps-850?
Hi so all I did was just use a map like the alesis map, Roland map or GM, then you just have to configure it to suit the kit and save the map as your own hope this helps! :)
Hi Jimmy, have you been able to send the following to AD2 via midi:
- HH splash
- More than only 2 levels of HH openness (open/close)
- Aftertouch CC message (for cymbal choke)
Hope you can let us know!
Hey Alex unfortunately not HH splash isn't possible I don't think, and the hi hat can only be open or closed and all cymbals can be choked :)
I have mps-750 and so far I managed to use hi-hat with 3 modes: open, half-closed and closed. I can see the bar moving precisely in AD2 as I am closing the HH control, but I didn't manage to assign more than 3 sounds.
@@yehorsanko9241 that's awesome! I didn't know you could do that I'll have to have a mess around! :)
Thanks for your replies guys!
@Jimmy Oldfield have you been able to send an aftertouch message for cymbal choke to AD2? If so, can you tell which one it is in terms of CC?
@Yehor Sanko I thought I once had a half-open but it was while I plugged my earphones to the kit in audio mode. Any idea what the midi note or CC message might be associated with it?
Thanks again!
@@alexkayal um i can't remember but i think you can just get AD2 to learn each pad but i'm sure if that's how it works for choke, sorry i couldn't be more helpful!
I have the the same kid. Can you help me how to set up the beats (especially the snare).. my kid doesn't sound like yours.. :(
okay just so you know these sounds aren't from the millenium module they are from a vst called addictive drums 2 (AD2) Hope this helps! :)
Sounds powerful!! We are think about buying a kit like this to use with pluigns at logic
Hey thanks for watching! It's an awesome kit I'm sure you won't regret it :)
Should I get this set
Depends on what you're looking for man, but in my opinion I think it's a great kit for the price! Thanks for watching! :)
Thank you
How is the latency in this constellation?
Hey, It's pretty good i've never noticed any latency so long as you use the right drivers (ASIO4ALL) Hope this helps! :)
Hi drummer. I have a big request to you. I want to upload my videos to RUclips, where l am present an electronic set. Please, how to connect the kit to a computer? What minimum parameters must the pc contain and what program is suitable for recording my videos.?Thx.
Hey okay you can use a usb to connect your drums to the laptop, minimum I would suggest is 8GB ram and a half decent CPU. For recording I suggest reaper, for video editing, there are plenty of good free ones so just have a look around. I hope this helps and good luck to! :)
@@Jimmyoldfield thank u
Hi, I'm new with using edrums and this is my first edrum kit. I just want to know if you have tips/options in recording a drum track from this? Thanks! great video by the way! deserved more subs.
Hey thank you so much! :) as for recording E Drums, if you use a (square printer type) USB not sure of the exact name, and plug that into the back of the drum module and plug the other end into your laptop and run the midi through a DAW you can then record the midi drums using a vst, hope this helps and i hope it made sense lol and thanks for watching! :)
thanks for your reply! I found another video here in yt and I tried using a free DAW and VST but I couldn't make it work. It does recognizes the drum kit in the program, but doesn't actually receive sound when I try to play.
@@enzotabuena5662 ahhh okay so inside the DAW you have to make sure the track is armed (Ready to record) and that the track has monitoring enabled (monitoring is normally a speaker on the track) you also have to set up the midi device inside your DAW :)
What DAW are you using? because I tried audacity but it doesn't recognize the edrum as input. it tried tracktion but it doesn't recognize the signal from the module, though it is detected as a midi device.
@@enzotabuena5662 That's strange, I use reaper and it has no problem detecting it, so maybe try reaper?
Would like to hear more of your drumming
Thank you! I have plenty of videos of myself drumming Please consider subscribing it would mean a lot to me! Thanks for watching!
Have you tuned the mesh kickpad?
Yep I tried it at a loose setting and a tight setting I have it sort of in the middle now
Can you play different velocity's?
Yep you adjust the sensitivity, the threshold as well as other settings inside the module! :)
Can you add electric cymbals to this?are there extra ports?
Hey chops unfortunately not the two extra input are used by the cymbal on the right and the extra floor tom hope this helps! :)
@@Jimmyoldfield Thanks man that helps allot,I'll be getting this in a few weeks,thanks for getting back to me
@@MrSteve8546 no worries man hope you enjoy the kit, it's great! :D
@@Jimmyoldfield yeah it looks and sounds good,I'm looking forward to being able to play quietly :D
🔊🍻🔊
Hi ! Very good drumming 🤘 ! Did you use a midi interface, or directory through USB ? Did you experience any latency while playing ? Thanks ;)
hello thank you for watching! :) and i went direct with USB and I had latency as long as you use asio4all hope this helped! :)
@@Jimmyoldfield Wow ! You do answer as fast as you blast the kick pedal !! Thanks mate
@@Jonathan_De_Beaussais haha thank you! :)
Great performance!
Thank you! :)
Are the built in sound any good in your opinion? Wondering so if I buy this if I have to buy a vst
The built in sounds are OK, the sounds you would get with a vst are much better but it depends on what your needs are, I have a video showing the stock sounds hope this helps! :)
THANKS GOOD TEST
Well done !!! 💣
Thank you! :)
У меня такая! Я её обожаю!
I'm sorry I'm not really sure what you said :/ I tried translating it but I can't copy and paste. Sorry 😞
@@Jimmyoldfield it says 'I have one! I love her!'
Near by me such! I adore her!
band hand gripp technique. your holding the sticks like a friggin tea cup.. you can't make solid hits with that.. work on it bud.. if anybody has a problem with this comment "find me a good drummer on youtube that sticks out his pinkies like that... you won't be able to"
Thanks for watching, I am aware of my bad hand technique but as you can see from my later videos my technique has improved 👍
The ride cymbal is hot garbage and they won't fix it
The ride isn't great, but it's not that bad. The actual ride is okay, just the bell is hard to trigger as you can see in the video.
@@Jimmyoldfield I assume you messed with the trigger settings and got it to where you wanted it to? Anything has to be better than that POS alesis hi/controller combo. Although i can play my command mesh it is not ideal.
@@suminshizzles6951 hey thanks for watching, yeah I'm pretty sure I just increased the sensitivity for the bell
1min49 fail ? No, all the video is a big fail !! Please stop drums, please please 🙏🙏🙏
Thanks for Watching! :)
If you tell someone to stop doing what they love...you're one of the lowest beings. It doesn't matter how good or bad someone is; he doesn't hurt anyone doing what he loves. @Jimmy I hope you do continue; I hope you enjoy what you're doing everyday and that you get all the satisfaction from you want.
You're doing really well and I'm sure by now you've already improved.
@@b03tz Hey, I'm sorry I didn't reply to this sooner. I must've missed it somehow. But thank you for your awesome comment! Honestly when I recorded this video I had only had the kit for a few days, so my playing was a bit sloppy haha. But That's what I love doing with my drum covers, is showing the real side of drumming. I do all my covers/Playthroughs in one take, so they definitely aren't perfect but I like to show my mistakes, I think it helps feel more authentic rather than something that is edited to death. Anyway Thank you again! and thanks for watching :)
@@Jimmyoldfield Awesome bro!
