And how to deal with left foot?

[@prod_adrian]

Always very interesting footage!
But how the hell does one play without the spring on? I tried this and my Roland KD-10 gives me ZERO rebound, so the beater is either full stuck on the pad head or lays on the footboard. I question if its even possible with this eDrum head to get the beater back...?? So i cant even practise continous strokes, because i always have to pick the beater back up.

Can depend on many things. Does the beater hit the head parallel? Anything further may lessen the rebound. Then how far out is the beater? The further the less rebound.
What kind of beater do you use? It is heavy? Do you use beaterweights? And how hard is the surface you are playing on? Generally you want a not too top heavy beater, hitting the surface parallel. The surface shouldn't be as lose as a lose Bassdrum.
