How is your Coasting

My coasting seems very weird, i give it gas and its at rpm's like its at 3500-4000 and as soon as i let go off the gas it drops around 1000 and a little lower, is this normal, i feel it lose all this power when i let it go and then it doesnt coasting? how about youguys

I just had my brakes changed today, and its still doing it, i dont know if it still draging but i would guess not becuse they were just changed

did the i guess anti-coasting occur when your breaks were changed or did it do it before the breaks were changed?
