I'll second this. It's got a switch to toggle between slow, medium and fast. It can get plenty fast enough even on the medium setting. :) With just a white noise module (A-117 or A-118), the A-140, a multimode filter and ideally a curveball such as the A-199 spring reverb (which can sound very metallic with percussive white noise, like hitting a massive metal drum, sort of), you can make a whole wealth of interesting percussive sounds. Then you just need a MIDI to CV converter like the A-190-2 to actually trigger the envelope generator and you're all set for percussion!
>> also looking at cwejman modules everybody says should be used for this but these are expensive!
I haven't used any Cwejman modules, so can't really comment on those. I hear they're very good, but my motto's to get several inexpensive and versatile modules instead, so I can make a wider variety of sounds. Doepfer's modules are ideal for this!
All the best,
