Hi!
I have recently started playing with the ankle technique to play faster double bass parts. During the last month however, I have only practiced double kick on a Roland KD-9 kick(Picture bellow). Before I played acoustic like 90% of the time so I do know the feel of a real kick drum so it's not new to me but have not had the opportunity to practice on a real kit the last months, does this affect technique in any way? Will my double kick playing all of a sudden become really sloppy when I switch to a real kick drum? Surely I would think the technique I've practiced would still be helpful but maybe just takes a little time(Like a day or so) to get used t on a real drum? I've also heard that the KD-9 thanks to its cloth design on the pad instead of just rubber is supposed to feel almost like a real kick drum.
