I was asking similar things a few months ago. I don't play a normal
kit but I have done previously and I'm sure the Yamaha's pads are
harsher than a skin.

I bought Ahead sticks, gripper tape, and took lessons. The lessons
showed me that my grip was wrong, and I think I'll get more
improvement as I learn more. I remain unconvinced by the sticks, they
feel harsh too.

If I think about it, my right wrist is aching right now, and I haven't
played today. I did do a three hour practice yesterday evening though.
