no. You must first remove the old compound. To do this, you can sand the rotors or drive around for a while on a highly abrasive pad. I think I recall Hawk Blues being mentioned as one such pad.

Failure to do this, when switching between incompatible pad compounds, can result in judder and reduced braking performance.
