Reading topics here I find many times words that I only understand from context,and sometimes I keep wondering what they mean,so:
1)Stab-what is that?
2)Pad-I know what it is,but why it is called such?
3)Drone-?
4)Fuzzy-? |

1) Stab - a quick, short burst of sound.
2) Pad - various definitions...I tend to think of a pad as some sort of atmosphere or texture in the background of the track, or a kind of longish evolving sound. IDK why its called a Pad. Pads are often chorded.
3) Drone - a long sound that just sort of...drones. Hum an 'OMMMMM' to yourself for a while...that's an example of a drone.
4) Fuzzy - describing sound with words sucks. Sharp, warm, fuzzy, sticky, buzzy etc. No advice there

A stab is usually a chorded (multiple key) short splash of sound. Which will most likely show up at 2.4 and 4.4 in the sequencer 
I never really thought of the WHY when it comes to pad but you made me do it. Have to get back to you on that one.
A drone is usually a long evolving sound with bass'ish nature.
Fuzzy is equivalent to crispy/distorted as wills posted.

a oneshot sample is one that is used once
so for instance, a lot of producers will spend time making a whole bunch of crazy noises, then bounce them down to audio cut them up and then trigger them seperately as 'oneshots'
as opposed to taking a sound and triggering it a bunch of times in a pattern etc etc
