Introduction to Jazz Brushes

[colourfulwithaU]

My brushes have a lot of bent wires. Is that bad?

[rhwray]

@colourfulwithaU No it happens over time with wire brushes, you can try to bend them back if you like, but it isn't critical. It's also normal for wire brushes to loose wires on occasion. If the bends become annoying you can even remove them if wanted.

What kind of hats do you have?

I would like to see how to play a fill and then get back to the beat....focusing on the hand placements on the snare drum when returning to the beat.

Thanx!

Great Ability to clearly explain, Sacha! Would you mind explaining the placement of the hands (with Brushes) during fill-ins and most importantly getting BACK into the rhythm. For example, do you always have to return the Right hand to the 1 position on the snare etc.?

Thank You!

Hi ! I'd like you to check out "How to play Jazz Brushes" featuring Duncan Branom and uploaded by unsoundart

Very helpful video! I have to teach brush technique tomorrow and I haven't touched brushes in years. This was a great refresher!

Can't hear the hi-hat at all, dude

[schoolofmusiconline]

@esariite Really? I though it was pretty clear. Is it all the way or just toward the end during the exercises? What video quality were you watching in?

[Poolprayers]

@esariite ...I almost agree with you EXCEPT that I can hear it making a flatter sound (almost like a thump) instead of the way I (and maybe you ) set it to like a crisp" chich" type sound.
