Imagine the charm of a classic drum kit combined with the power of an electronic drum kit. The result? The Millenium MPS-750X PRO. Released in 2023, this electronic drum kit seems to be the perfect combination of two worlds and is available for less than 800 euros.
Looking at the specifications it seems too good to be true. However, Millenium is known for delivering drum kits with an excellent price-quality ratio .
In this blog, we’ll explore the new Millenium MPS-750X Pro, describe its pros and cons, and end with a purchase recommendation. I haven’t played the kit myself, but will list all the pros and cons I found online.

Pros and Cons of the Millenium MPS-750X
Pros
- Very good value for money
- Acoustic design with wooden shells
- Bluetooth
- Includes hardware and kick pedal
- Easy to expand with additional pads
Cons
- Available in 1 color
- Contains only 1 crash
- Number of pre-programmed kits is a bit on the low side
- Small screen on the drum module
At a glance, the kit already looks very good thanks to the acoustic look. Unlike the MPS-1000, this kit is unfortunately only available in 1 color.
The kit comes with 1 crash, but fortunately there are 2 extra trigger inputs with which you can expand the kit with an extra tom and/or cymbal.
Acoustic design
At first glance, the Millenium MPS-750X Pro looks like a traditional acoustic drum kit, complete with real wood shells and a full set of hardware. On stage, the kit would be virtually indistinguishable from an acoustic.
The shells are realistically sized: an 18″ kick, 13″ snare and 10″, 12″ and 14″ toms. This means sufficient playing surface and at the same time space saving . The color is Black Sparkle which fits well with any interior.
Millennium MPS-750X Pro module
Featuring a large sound library including acoustic drums, electronic sounds, and percussion instruments, the Millenium MPS-750X Pro includes a whopping 697 sounds to choose from.
There are 20 kits set as standard and there is room for 20 kits that you can put together yourself. The kit is therefore comparable to the Millenium MPS-750X .
Moreover, you can create your own sound with equalizer, reverb and various effects. With the sliders you can easily adjust the volume of the individual parts of your kit, so you get the most out of your drum kit.
The MPS-750X Module is also available separately:
Integrated Bluetooth
But that's not all: just like the Millenium MPS-750X and Millenium MPS-1000, this kit features Bluetooth . This makes it easy to play along with your favorite music from your tablet or smartphone, without the hassle of extra cables.
The difference between the MPS-750X Pro and the MPS-1000 is that the MPS-1000 has larger toms, an extra cymbal and an extra floor tom. For 200 euros more you have a kit with a few more possibilities. In addition, the MPS-1000 is available in four different colors.
Authentic feeling
Like the standard MPS-750X, the Pro version features mesh heads on all drums. These woven heads, which are the same size as those used on acoustic drum kits, protect your wrists but also give you the feeling of playing on regular drum heads.
You can easily adjust the tension to your needs using a tuning key. All drum pads, including the 13" hi-hat and the 15" crash cymbal, have trigger zones on the rim and playing surface, and the 18" ride cymbal even has a third zone on the bell.
Flexible and expandable
If you ever want to expand your drum kit, the Millenium MPS-750X Pro module offers two trigger inputs for additional toms or cymbals .
The USB port offers the possibility to connect the module to a computer and integrate it into recording software or use sounds from a professional sound library. This way the possibilities are endless.
If you want to spend more time editing the sounds, you can easily do this on your computer using the very comprehensive Kit Editor on the Millenium website.
💡 Please note: Only the Millenium MPS-750X “Bundle” comes with sticks, headphones and drum throne.
What alternatives are there?
For the drummer who wants more than the Millenium MPS-750X PRO, the Millenium MPS-1000 is a better fit.
What does the Millenium MPS-1000 offer?
- Extra cymbal: This kit has an extra cymbal, which gives you a little more freedom of play.
- More sounds: The Millenium MPS-1000 features no fewer than 820 sounds.
- Four designs: The kit comes in 4 different designs.
- Built-in monitor : One of the four designs features a built-in monitor ( MPS-1000 Monitor Set ). Handy if you're using the kit live!
Conclusion
For less than 800 euros, the price-quality ratio of the Millenium MPS-750X PRO remains very good. An electronic drum kit with these specifications and for this price you will not find anywhere else.
It might be worth freeing up some budget and considering the Millenium MPS-1000 . For 200 euros more you get an extra tom and cymbal, a more extensive drum module, larger toms, 40 preset kits and the choice of 3 designs.
