Depends on how their kit's setup and tuned and whatnot - with most rock bands, you'd need a good ear to tell the difference twix their snare and cymbals, much less tell the difference twix timpany and highhat, et al.

If fidelity is an issue, you might seek out a nice jazz club or something. Nothin wrong with going to a jazz club. Lots of smaller indy acts play small venues and maybe their sound is better. Maybe a nice, out of the way coffee house or something.
