Only 30-40% of the (right side) of the pad triggered properly—the other side was barely audible. I'm using this on a Roland TD-9 module with MIDI out to trigger VSTs on my Mac—e.g., EZdrummer 3.
I read that it's important to use a dual-trigger input, so I used the TD-9 'Aux' input with the included stereo cable. After trying several different settings on the module, other inputs, and different locations, I could not resolve the issue. Ultimately, I sent it back for exchange.
The rejection of the pad is great. I hit the stand it was on several times and while it didn't trigger, the ride and tom attached to the stand did. I would feel comfortable putting it on one of my toms without worrying about it accidentally getting triggered from me hitting the drum. The build quality and design are well executed, and I don't really have a lot to complain about.
I purchased this when there was a price drop, so I got it for around $80. If i had acted a day or two earlier it would have been closer to $70. The current price seems to be holding at $135 now, which is what it's cost when I've looked at them in the past. I think the Roland PD-8 is a better deal at retail prices, since it's a dual zone trigger, but at the lower price I purchased it for, it's a good deal. The versatile mounting system makes it a good fit for applications that the PD-8 wouldn't work as well for.
It's a good trigger, just make sure to change your trigger type in the drum module.

Spoke with Roland who ran through some checks with me and they confirmed faulty.
Looking through the reviews now and it looks like the quality is lacking.
Get a PD8 or PDX6 second hand. More reliable.
