Gets the job done
I used to have one of these while living abroad, and got used to the concept of using a compact electric drumpad set as a MIDI controller for great drum soundbanks such as Addictive Drums or similar plugins.
I should say though, that as a standalone I wouldn't easily use it. I'm not really a fan of how its internal soundbanks sound, neither of the included reverb effect.
But considering the application I wanted to use it for (triggering drum samples from my DAW), it does get the job done, although I wish the pads were a bit more sensitive.
And it really is the cheapest solution in this respect if you're looking for a real drumset feel to your recordings.
Only other contender in this respect is the Yamaha DD65, which has alot more to offer actually (decent internal drum sounds, possibility to connect to external drum modules through MIDI connection, an array of effects, etc.), but for almost twice the price.

Good Price & Convenience
Bought this for a beginner mainly for convenience. Everything works well and is easily set up. Highly portable. For the price, the sound quality is good. Purchase if you’re looking to prioritize convenience and ease and if you want to try out an electric drum kit before making a commitment to buying a more expensive and complete kit. Would recommend for younger kids/teens, but definitely playable for all ages.

Nice starter kit
This is a nice starter kit, for kids mostly, just to let them get the hang of it. The pads aren't that soft, so they do not mimic an actual drum. The sounds are above average and are tweakable, so you can adjust it to your liking. The built in speakers are weak. Connecting the kit to an amplifier increases the sound and makes it more organic. Using headphones is clear and the total experience is good. For the price paid, the features included and the fact that it simulates drums and percussion, this is a smart buy. Especially for beginners who want to experience before moving forward to a more serious kit. The service by Thomann is impeccable.

Good starter kit for kids
Bought this in 2018 for our kid who was born in the same year. Didn't start using it before 2019 or so, but since that it's been a nice little musical toy to play with. It could be better in some ways; the pads don't register the hits 100% certainly at times, the foot pedals occasionally register doubles for single push, etc. But in general and for the price, it's a very nice little box of beats. Good starter kit for small kid and nice toy for adult, too, at times. :)
Works pretty good for getting background beats while playing guitar etc, too.

Good practice drum-pad
The product is what I expected when I ordered it: a good basis for practicing drumming.
Pros:
- affordable price
- lots of tones
- pretty good response from the pads
Cons:
- the pedals are not the most responsive, sometimes I trigger two kicks when I only meant to kick once (may be a problem with my technique)
- the pedals move around a lot, especially on hardwood floors, I will have to come up with some jig that makes them stay in place :)
Overall I am satisfied with my purchase. Looking forward to beating them with sticks more.

Very good (for the price)
I would say, that a real drummer would probably get frustrated with this device. Luckily I'm a guitarist. Suits me just fine. Sound quality is good, as long as one doesn't use the integrated speakers, which are really awful. Fine preset, nice diversity of sounds. Kids love it. Pedals have no feeling, but they do work. Pads handle hits with different strength quite well. The weakest ones do not sometimes register. Overall however, I'm pleased. For home use etc.

very good product for beginners you get what you pay for of course the quality is ok but after hours of playtime the pads start getting worn out.
the sounds are also ok
it kinda bothers me that the snare is left and the hi-hat in the middle, you can change them but it's not practical.

Pretty good
I'm not a drummer, and don't aspire to be one. But I got this to control drummer plugins through the USB connection, so I can record other people. It does the trick, but the pedals are a little flimsy. I might look for replacements for them.

studio recording
Millenium drum is great for studio recording but i don't recommend for live gages or stuff like that.
