Absolutely normal, considering you are set up on a slippery floor. My kits all have spikes on the bass drum feet, and also spikes on the pedal, so that keeps my bass drum firmly in place -- ON CARPET. Any bass drum will slide on cement, tile, anything that is a slippery surface. Find a drum carpet, or a carpet remnant that you can get cheap (or for free), and I think you'll see a big difference. Make sure it's large enough that your stool is on the same rug, so that you've got weight to anchor the bass drum on the rug.
You shouldn't have to alter your style of playing to keep your bass from running away on you.
