It's probably not the drops, per say, just your riding position being a bit off exacerbated by what could be a lot of control inputs to counter stoker movement... not at all that uncommon for new teams. If things were fine with the flat bars, then it could be that you just need to adjust the position of the drops to put you back into the same position you had with the flat bars, e.g., most likely a shorter stem that's positioned a bit higher if you now find yourself riding on the brake hoods.

If you have a good bike shop nearby you might want to call and see if they have a bike fitting specialist on staff who could take a look at your riding position. Or, you could do a little experimentation on your own by adjusting your riding position one step at at time, keeping track of what you do each time so you can undo it and try something else.
