Drummers and Click Tracks (Metronome) - Tips and Tricks 

Thanks for the positive feedback, but I disagree on length. I’m aiming for a 20 minute target, as I’m aiming to get all the info in there rather than be flashy and edit things out. There are other channels that make soundbite entertainment, and I’m trying to be a bit more educational. In the future, if this really takes off where I can have more writers/editors than just me, I’ll revisit this but as it stands this is how it is! Cheers for the feedback though. -Adam

That’s interesting, as my experience is the exact opposite- isolating headphones sound a bit thin and tinny, where in ear monitors can go down to 5hz and can make my eyes water with too much low end. Easy fix- have an EQ section before the headphones, even if it’s a simple bass/treble control

@@adamsteelproducer The problem that I'm referring to has little to do with the drivers, but with the geometry of the headphones. In-ears are good in that, as you say, you can EQ the signal for whatever works for you. Isolating headphones (which you can also EQ) are great at filtering out high frequencies, such as the crack of the snare, the sizzle of the cymbals, and really the entire upper spectrum that is responsible for functional hearing loss. The low frequencies (coming from outside), however, are extremely hard to shut out, and inside a set of headphones these frequencies can echo like playing bass in a cube-shaped concrete room. I also agree with your tip of wearing earplugs and headphones together, so you can turn up the frequencies you want to hear without damaging your ears. Or, you can wear in-ear monitors with passive earmuffs (Gun-Muffler, etc.) and get the same effect, with (IMO)a little more control. By the way, thank you for keeping your video informative, and don't worry about length. As long as you are saying something useful, a video can be 2 hours long. If someone can't pay attention to 20 minutes of useful information, there's no way they will ever accomplished anything with music, on the playing side or on the production side.
