Are you curious about what you need to know before buying an electronic drum kit? You can read it in this blog.
Millenium MPS-850 E-Drum Set
Pros
- Complete e-drum kit for drummers of all levels
- Real hi-hat pedal
- Mesh head kick pad (less noise pollution)
- Good value for money
Cons
- No bluetooth
- Included kick pedal is not the best quality
- Hi-hat detection is not always perfect
The Millenium MPS-850 is a full-fledged electronic drum kit that is not without reason the best-selling e-drum kit from Thomann. The kit has everything you need and is also super attractively priced.
The MPS-850 can be seen as an upgrade of the MPS-450, which is my favorite e-drum kit for beginners. The MPS-850 is similar in terms of material but comes with a number of extras, including:
- Extended drum module
- Extra floor tom (4 toms in total)
- Extra crash pad
- Real hi-hat pedal
Millenium is the house brand of the German Thomann and is also only sold there. Because Thomann owns Millenium, they can keep the prices of the kits low, unlike Roland, Yamaha, Alesis, etc. With the MPS-850 you get a professional electronic drum kit in your home that is suitable for every drummer.
Alesis Nitro Pro
Expired!
Pros
- Improved stability
- 10″ deep snare with red accents
- Powerful module with hardware
- Kick pad with extra large surface
Cons
- Not a real hi-hat pedal
- Contains only 1 crash
- Slightly more expensive than other kits
The Alesis Nitro Pro is a stylish electronic drum kit that resembles an acoustic drum kit in appearance, especially because of the deep snare pad with red accents.
This kit is an upgrade to the Alesis Nitro Max and was designed after complaints about the stability of the Alesis Nitro Max, which is not always good. The Nitro Pro has a steel rack (instead of plastic), which makes it much more stable than the Nitro Max.
Not only the rack has been improved. The Alesis Nitro Pro also has a larger kick pad, making double bass easier. The snare has also been upgraded and now looks extra professional. The module has also been given some extra sounds and of course has Bluetooth.

Roland TD-07DMK V-Drums Kit
Expired!
Pros
- Best brand on the market
- Sturdy and stable material (steel rack)
- Mesh heads
- Optional: Bluetooth
Cons
- Higher priced compared to other kits
- Module with limited functions
- It is not possible to create your own kits
The Roland TD-07DMK (upgrade from the TD-02KV) provides everything you need to improve your drumming skills and have fun playing.
Roland stands for high quality products. When you purchase an electronic drum kit from Roland, you can be sure of a few things: it is top quality, lasts a long time and will provide hours of playing fun.
The Roland TD-07DMK features all-mesh heads, which provides a more realistic, quieter and more enjoyable playing experience. In addition, the kit is easily expanded with Bluetooth using the Boss BT-Dual Bluetooth Adapter.
One downside is that the kit has 16 drum kits that are not customizable. As a beginner this is fine, but if you want to create your own kits you might want to take it a step further, for example the TD-17KV2.
Millenium MPS-450
Pros
- Very sturdy and stable electronic drum kit
- Large 10″ snare pad
- Mesh heads that feel realistic and can be adjusted in tension with a drum key
- Expandable with extra Tom and Crash
- Realistic sounds
Cons
- Relatively simple drum module
- No Bluetooth
- Drum throne and headphones not included
- Included poles are very light in weight
The Millenium MPS-450 is my personal favorite for beginning drummers. This kit is not even 400 euros but offers a lot for the price, such as a 10″ snare pad, sturdy steel rack, realistic sounds and the possibility to expand the kit with an extra tom and cymbal.
Why is the MPS-450 of such good quality? It is because of the steel rack and the extra horizontal bar (just like the MPS-850), which gives the kit extra stability.
This kit is in my opinion even a better buy than the Alesis Nitro Max (one of the most popular kits worldwide). I compare both drum sets in this blog: Alesis Nitro Max vs Millenium MPS-450.

Alesis Nitro Max
Expired!
Pros
- Suitable for every level
- Includes kick pedal
- Mesh heads on snare and toms
- Cymbals with choke function
Cons
- Drum throne and headphones not included
- Contains only 2 cymbals (excl. hi-hat)
Last but not least: the Alesis Nitro MaxThis kit is one of the most popular beginner kits in the world, mainly due to its good price-performance ratio.
The Nitro Max consists of a 10″ snare pad, three 8″ toms and three 10″ cymbals. The cymbals are choke-able, which means that they are muted when you grab them.
Another innovative feature of the Alesis Nitro Max is the integrated Bluetooth, which means you can connect your smartphone to the module in no time and play along with your favorite music.

Conclusion
Anyone looking for the best electronic drum kit can quickly get lost in all the possibilities. In this article we have made an overview of the latest models that have a good price-quality ratio.
If you value a good price-quality ratio, then the Millenium kits (MPS-850 and MPS-450), but also the Alesis Nitro Max, definitely worth considering. If you have a lower budget I would go for the MPS-450 rather than the Nitro Max.
The Roland TD-07DMK and Alesis Nitro Pro are good options for advanced drummers who value durability and quality above all else.
The number 1 really remains the Millenium MPS-850, a full-fledged and all-round electronic drum kit with everything you need for a very attractive price.
