Hey folks! I've been training my ear here everyday and it's been so hard to get score on Dr. Compressor!!! Is there any tips to hear them!? I'm so aware it's important to train regularly I just wanted to know how people hear them!
A big thing to listen for, to me, is the snare. On uncompressed drums the snare is very forward and in your face, whereas compression makes it recede quite a bit, and the tonality is often completely different,
The best thing to do is open your DAW and play with a compressor. Use an 808 Kick. Listen to it with no processing. Add a compressor and slowly tweak the levels and ratios, and you will start to understand what different levels of compression do to it. You can do that with any drum sound and you will start to be able to recognize a compressed drum when you hear one. Hope that helps.
