awesome suggestions by mikyok, Hewitt and Larry below
my advice would be
when on the pad is the time to check your movements and "technique" and make sure you are getting the most from your movements and allowing the stick to help you and bla bla bla ... don't try to be a speed demon ... try to be clean and smooth
when on the drums play along to music that you love and record yourself.
playing music is what it is all about right?.... yeah.
so play music .... and via playing music the "technique" you lack with rear its ugly head and tell you what you need to work on to make the music sound good.
don't try to force your pad work into your drumset playing.
nothing sounds worse than someone who sounds like they are playing exercises when playing music
the gap between your pad work and set playing will eventually close and become somewhat seamless ... but don't force rudiments onto the kit.
this is a huge mistake that too many drummers make and they constantly sound like they are practicing on the bandstand
your pad work will eventually leave a residue that will bleed subconsciously into your playing of the instrument.... let it happen naturally
- when in the gym work on your technique and strategy
- when in the ring forget about all that, let your instincts take over and just fight
