"Pad Hands"

Does anyone else have these? I find that, late in the summer, right when band camp starts, the drum feels really weird. The rebound is out of wack, and that throws my arc off. I can't practice on a drum that much, so my only other option is to play on a drum pad. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to prevent "pad hands"?

Yeah. I thought about using the other side, but I hate the way it sounds. I actually believe it has less rebound than a snare. Maybe one day a company will perfect the feel, withou the volume.

I use the Heavy Hitter Slimpad, and since getting it (a year and a half ago), I haven't had a case of pad hands that I can remember. Used to happen a lot on Real Feels though.

"Pad hands"?
Reminds me of the old "its these sticks!" excuse to not playing well.
I've played the HQ gum side for years, never had a problem going from it to a high tension snare drum, or any drum for that matter. Consider this: Maybe you are changing your approach to each. Im not accusing anything, im just saying that if you approach the pad the same way you approach the drum, and vice versa, you shouldnt have any long term problems. And if you do have problems, it can be eliminated by doing what your supposed to do before you play...warm up.

Pad hands are a funny thing. They happen to just about anyone who practices regularly(or constantly) on a pad. The only real way to avoid it is to play on a drum consistently throughout the year. It shouldn't be something you worry about too much though. If you have pad hands, you at least have hands. It should take a short amount of time to recondition your hands to the feel of the Kevlar head. Don't worry about pad hands and just worry about getting perfect hands.
Right on the money. As for "Padhands" being some big issue, i don't believe in it, but the above pretty much spells it out anyhow.
