Very nice pad with a lot of features
Cons:
Rotating knobs have a gritty feel to them, not very pleasant, had to change the top to some spare ones from a mixer I had.
If you play 2 neighbor pads simultaneously it doesn't work properly 2 out of 3 times.
The navigation is not that clear with OK, SELECT, etc, but you get the hang of it with ease.
Pros:
Great for the price, strong build and tons of memory.
30 editable sets which get you plenty of options live.
Easy to use, plug and play with a large library of sound.
4 external trigger possibility which gives you 13 pads to play in total, which is amazing for the price.
I definitely recommend it.
The only thing I couldn't find in the manual/box but was able to find in a video was the fact that you can only upload WAV files 48kHz and 16 bits.

Good for the price
I bought this product a couple of months before. It has some amazing sounds and features on it and it seems like it will last long. It has some crossmute problems as all cheap pads but it's okay for a cheap solution.

Great beginner's percussion pad
Great value for money considering its capabilities and number of pads.
However it is not super consistent, as others mentioned sometimes it doesn't register fast double hits, or it can trigger adjacent pads (which can be addressed by adjusting sensitivity settings, though it's kind of a trial-and-error process).
I initially thought the issue with the fast hits was just on the pads, but after trying it as a sound module with external e-drums, sometimes the same issue happens, so it seems like it is the engine itself that gets overwhelmed with too many input signals.
Therefore, I would mainly recommend this to beginners or someone curious to experiment whether they could enjoy e-drumming. I would not recommend this as a main e-drumset for professional use, but it could be a stepping stone to later get a more professional (and more expensive) percussion pad. Still gets a good rating due to value for money.
Alternatively, this could work great as just a complement to an already existing acoustic or electric drumset, just to sporadically play the odd sample here and there.
Beware that the Yamaha KU100 silent kick pedal does NOT work with this. But regular keyboard sustain pedals work for triggering the kick!

Great, but a caveat for US purchasers
The pads work great, no crosstalk between pads. internal sounds are good enough but I did buy this to use with Ableton Live, which it is suitable for.
For US users, the adapter doesn't have a US prong

Does it's job
Robust machine. I use it to trigger Groove Agent and Addictive drums in my DAW. Works well.

Good
It's a good drumpad, especially for the price.
If you're using triggers, it might be a good idea to get a dedicated trigger module. For samples and other things it's good
