What I liked
What I didn't like
The popular drum manufacturer Millenium, the house brand of the German company Thomann, released a new electronic drum kit in late 2025: the Millenium MPS-350 E-Drum Set. This drum kit is an intermediate size between the MPS-150 and MPS-450 and is perfect for the drummer who wants to get a good kit without paying top dollar.
Earlier I tested the Millennium MPS-150 and the MPS-450. I wasn't enthusiastic about the 150, while I still consider the 450 the very best choice for a budget electronic drum kit. You will discover whether the 350 can measure up to the 450 in this review.

Review
The Millenium MPS-350 is a sturdy and solid electronic drum kit built from high-quality materials. The steel rack is rock-solid, and all other parts feel durable. With 3 toms, 3 cymbals, and the option to connect an extra crash cymbal, you certainly have plenty of freedom to play, especially as a beginner.
The kit has three minor points of attention, related to setting the cymbal volume and the inability to configure custom kits. Given the price, I can certainly recommend the Millenium MPS-350 to beginning drummers.
Pros and cons
Pros
- Very suitable for beginners
- Stable steel rack
- Stands firmly on the ground thanks to the extra horizontal bar
- Affordable
- Integrated Bluetooth
Cons
- The volume of the crash and ride cannot be adjusted independently of each other.
- It is not possible to create your own kits
- The manual contains a small error.
Sturdy rack
The Millenium MPS-350 has a number of advantages, starting with the fact that it feels like high-quality material in its entirety. All parts are neatly packaged and feel sturdy and well-made. You also notice during play that the kit stays in place.
The rack is comparable to the Millenium MPS-450 : steel tubes that feel very sturdy and are very sturdy. The drum kit hardly wobbles while playing (unlike the Alesis Nitro Max, which does have a tendency to move).
The stability of this rack is due to the bottom horizontal tube, which is already attached to the two other vertical legs at the factory. The rest of the tubes are easy to assemble to the rest of the rack and are secured extra well by the multiple screws.
Bluetooth
The Bluetooth function is a handy and, nowadays, indispensable feature. You connect your smartphone in a few seconds and can play along with music via Spotify.
Cons
The volume of the MPS-350's components can be operated independently. This is convenient, but the unfortunate thing is that the crash and ride are controlled by a single slider, meaning they cannot be operated separately. Also, assembling your own kits is not possible (unlike with the MPS-450).
Another disadvantage is that the kit's manual contains a small error. I discuss this in the video where I show how to assemble the drum kit:
Snare and toms
The 3 toms are all the same size at 7 inches. Not super big, but not too small either. For an electronic drum kit, it is big enough, but it cannot be compared to an acoustic kit.
The snare is 8 inches and does exactly what it is supposed to do; it catches strokes well and responds to the speed and force with which you hit. Unique is the rim click zone, which makes it possible to play cross stick. Rim shot is not possible.
Cymbals
The Millenium MPS-350 comes with 3 cymbals of the same size: a hi-hat, crash, and ride, all 10.5 inches. The hi-hat is single-zone, while the crash and ride have 2 zones. Additionally, the crash and ride feature a stop function (dampening when gripped, just like an acoustic cymbal).
Bass drum and kick pedal
The MPS-350 distinguishes itself with a brand-new designed bass drum, one that reminded me of the bass drum of the ATV EXS-5.
The surface of the kick drum is large (suitable for double bass) and is simultaneously additionally supported by the two iron legs with pointed ends. This makes shifting the bass drum during playing a thing of the past; it remains perfectly stable while playing.
Feeling of play
Once you have fully installed the kit and properly adjusted the heights of the cymbals and toms, the distances between the parts are exactly the same as on an acoustic drum kit. So, if you are a beginner drummer or want to learn to drum, this kit is perfect.
What alternatives are there?
If the Millennium MPS-350 doesn't quite appeal to you, there are a number of other options you can consider.
Millenium MPS-450
The Millennium MPS-450 can be considered an upgrade of the MPS-350, even though the kit was released later. The biggest difference is that the MPS-450 features drums with a larger playing surface (a 10” snare and three 8” toms). The MPS-450 does not have integrated Bluetooth, so you will need an adapter for that.
Millenium MPS-450 E-Drum Set
Another alternative is the popular Nitro Max from Alesis. This all-round drum kit has gained a lot of popularity in recent years thanks to its good price-quality ratio.

Conclusion
In short, I am certainly impressed with the Millenium MPS-350. For this price range, you get a sturdy, stable, and complete drum kit that is particularly suitable for beginners. The feel is good, the kit stays firmly in place, and thanks to Bluetooth, you can easily play along with your favorite music or drum lessons.
There are a few limitations, such as not being able to adjust the volume of the crash and ride separately and not being able to make your own kits. But honestly: for this price, that is not a problem.
So if you are looking for an affordable first electronic drum kit that will last you for years, the Millenium MPS-350 is highly recommended.
