Pads are when you have chords playing a longer duration of a rhythm. So far, all of the chords we've been playing have been pads for the full duration of the measure.
Pads don't need to be 4 beats long, though. Pads usually start either (1) at the beginning of the measure, or (2) with the kick drum.
Punches

Punches are the opposite of pads, because they are shorter in length. Pads can occur at any point in the bar - on the beat or in between.
