Pad on Snare Damage?

Is there any downside to putting your practice pad on top of the snare? Most of the pads are pretty heavy particle board. Can it cause any damage to the head or bearing edges? Thanks.
 
Thanks. I may end up springing for one.

They are worth every penny. I have a few in my teaching studio. See pic.

I've got one on order from a local ma-pop music store. I'd never seen these until JoJo's DVD but they are the first "pad" I've seen that also allow for the tight, crispy gut snare sound you get with a marching snare. There's no harm in practicing sticking on anything, but when you can add the right sound to the sticking, it adds another great dimension to practicing.
