Hey, just wondering if this is something that comes with time spent on drums, like the ears/brain just learn to hear more drum parts as one progresses?
I started like 6 months ago, and learned a few beginner songs from sheet music (AC/DC, CCR, Eagles). Today I learned a simple CCR song (have you ever seen the rain) in about 20 minutes with the sheet music, and with the music in front of me I could see/hear the drum parts. (side note, the Roland TD-11K doesn't do a half open hi hat very well).
But I put on some Lynyrd Skynyrd to try and learn by ear and couldn't find the kick probably 3/4 of the time. I'm definitely better at hearing the hats and cymbals. I have no chance of picking out toms at this point & I assume that's normal, but I feel like the kick should be easier.
Yes, I have good headphones (ATH M40x). I feel like the kick gets lost behind everything else (especially bass).
Does it get easier? Is it often hard to pick out the kick? Does it just take a dozen listens to start hearing everything?
