It could be, if you haven't drummed on an acoustic before and the drum set is 
tuned low.  You don't have that rebound from a rubber pads.  You either have 
to pull it out or tune the heads tighter, I think.

thanks a lot Stephanie

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.
