I hear people refer to "pads" all the time, but I don't know what they are.
apparently, they are NOT referring to drum pads (are they?)
What am I missing here?

Usually a pad is just a syth with FX and lots of attack.

4:08 secs to
4:20 secs.
That soft sounding
ooooooooo,......
ooooooooo thing playing from the start of the 2nd music track onward, is the
ambient pad for this soundtrack.
Now you have an idea, of what a pad is.
PS: There are many pads, used for the music tracks, in this youtube music video.
Try to find them.
