I think having an acoustic kit and practicing on one for a while, then switching over to electronic is difficult. The sensitivity take a while to getting used to. I also don't think the drums have the same "bounce" so to say, so it's hard to get used to that as well.

It is difficult and the sensitivity is a big issue.

Using my example, starting out on a real crappy kit playing punk and metal without anyone to guide me for 12+ years, I never understood volume and sensitivity at all. Unlearning the caveman technique was the hardest plateau I faced. I think if I started out playing on a bad plastic e-kit, I would have understood the difference and would have been better prepared to play a real kit in the future.

Especially with cheaper e-kits, where stick velocity doesn't really matter, learning the technique of "barely hitting the drum at all to stay quiet" goes a long way to getting true drumstick control and skill.

The Roland V-drums (yamaha makes similar ones I think, there's a lot out there) go a LOOONG way to reproducing the feel of a kit and are great to learn on for one thing.
