i read the response time is really bad on them.
there's a video of a guy on youtube setting his up and in the comments he says he got rid of it.

here's his comment:
"I got rid of mine. The responsiveness is really bad, especially the hi-hats"
here's another vid:

some quotes from the comment section:
"It's simple: When it comes to musical equipment, ESPECIALLY Electronic Drum kits, YOU GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR. This kit is a joke."
"Yeah, it's pretty crap."
if it's a beginner kit, then go for it.
but if you want something decent, i'd look elsewhere.

stick to roland or yamaha, although as said you get what you pay for and most cheapies are pretty laggy. Best bet is to hunt down something second hand or perhaps build your own - get a frame and module, and then hunt out good deals on pads on ebay.
One bodge setup i have seen (someone at uni built one) is to get a practice kit, like >this< and then kit it out with drum triggers (what you use on acoustic kits) and ebay for a drum trigger module (he just used a trigger to midi module, old Alesis unit was about £50, and then use his mac rig with BFD). It's not straight forward but it isn't hard to setup, but it worked well and was cheap (few hundred) considering decent electric kits are thousands.

My old college used to have a TD-20. Was epically awesome. But cost a few ££££
I need to look into getting a new kit sometime soon :/

I had a Roland TD6 all through Uni for practicing, plus I used the module/pads live along with my acoustic kit on several occasions and it never missed a beat(!).
Get a TD3 or a TD6.

Havent used many electric kits but as mentioned, Roland tend to be a safe bet. It will mean forking out a little more cash but if I was you I'd build your own up. As long as you invest in a decent brain unit then you shouldnt struggle to much with a latency problem.
