The Millenium MPS-850 V2 is a surprisingly usable hi-hat pad for the price. It's a solid choice for beginners or those looking for an affordable upgrade from a basic, non-playable hi-hat trigger. Don't expect premium feel, but it gets the job done for practice and basic gigging.

PROS
  • • Playable surface covers the entire pad, offering natural, expressive hi-hat techniques.
  • • Included hi-hat clutch simplifies mounting to standard stands; convenient for quick setup.

CONS

Frequently Asked Questions

No, it uses a Millenium-specific 5-pin connector, limiting compatibility to their systems unless you modify the wiring.
It allows for opening and closing the hi-hat, translating to different sounds based on the pad’s pressure, but the rubber surface limits the nuance compared to mesh.
Not really. The rubber surface provides a dampened feel, and the lack of true bounce means it's a decent substitute for practice, but not a replacement for the real thing.
