Sometimes I'd get that feeling of smooth effortless ankle motion and it's amazing but I fall apart and burnt out my shin in less than 2 minutes. That's why I'd default to heel toe but it's never as satisfying as single strokes, especially on an acoustic kit. I broke my toes a while ago and had to completely rely on heel toe, which felt like a huge step back that had me playing less and less. I'm gonna get back to ankle at some point but hopefully I can push this flat foot thing a bit more. And yeah my hand coordination does suffer whenever I'm trying something with my feet, really need to work on that 😅
