This thread is intended to discuss how we can improve our music enjoyment while using HA's and/or CI's. It is not intended to discuss who has better taste or which band is better, etc, but to share tips on how we can enjoy it better.
I will start with....How I was able to listen to drums in the middle of all the other instruments.
The theory is similar to those of us that must have the lyrics laid out in front of us while listening, as we can hear the singing, but can't hear the words clearly. By following the lyrics while hearing the singing, we can keep up.
Drums: I can hear drums clearly, but two instruments that are always present with most drum sets are the cymbals and the really big one on the floor, the foot-operated one (damn, can't remember the name....).
I was always fascinated with the second half of the song "Closer" and wondered how the drums were played. By watching which drum was hit, and the cymbals chosen, I was able to correlate the sound that these make.
The original video (warning: explicit lyrics are present in the song): Here
Drum cover for the same song: Here
Watching the drum cover, I was better able to separate some of the different drum tones. Still can't follow the foot in this one though.
When you hit 3:38, it gets hairy, that's the best part, and by following the sequence carefully, it gets much more enjoyable.
Got any ideas & tips to share? Let's see 'em!
