Learning to play on Electronic Drum Set- good or bad idea?

Something along the lines of Roland HD-1. I figured it would save me some space and my neighbors wouldn't hate me as much. I'm wondering if it would be counter-productive to learn on an electronic as opposed to a real set. Seems like they would have a totally different feel.

They do have a different feel but if you learn on a rubber-headed HD-1 kit you'll actually find it easier to switch to acoustic drums rather than the other way around. Drum skins are much more responsive (although the electronic versions are getting better and better) and you will find that you can 'float' around an acoustic kit better after playing on the HD-1 for a while.

One piece of advice though... when you set up your HD-1s try to space and angle the heads to emulate acoustic drums. Your real problem on switching to acoustic would be getting used to a really compact kit and then suddenly having to spread your drums out a lot more.

PS Everything I've written refers to the Roland HD-1 kit only. Cheaper electronic kits don't match up and will cause you problems.
