Carlos: I play both electric and acoustic drums. I find the major difference being, as Stephanie mentioned, the stick response to the heads. You'll also find that it takes a wider range of motion to play an acoustic set because they take up so much more real estate. Dynamic, too, can be quite different between the two. One more thing: Cymbal strikes are quite different, in feeling and response. If you plan to switch to acoustics, you may want to also play with your hihat on a level plane rather than a severe tilt.
