Great lesson on brushes. Thank you for sharing.

[@Maroshee]

Cute. I use also the flex stroke with alternating hands, which creates a roll sound.

I love all about brushes !!

Hi Florian, extrem helpful video on high level sound and vid quality, thx a lot! Therefore it was really nice! Best wishes! 😜

[@RachaelMagidsonjazz]

I love this ! Thanks 😊

[@danmancini1772]

Nice technique!

[@NiekopTube]

Great video! The flex stroke (I thought it was my invention :-) is my favourite; I fix some rubber-foam (like they use for bycicle handles/steering) around the end of the brush handle. (about 5 cm) . That foam protects the brush shaft and gives a nice rebound for this brush technique. (excuse my English)

[@ThommyRau]

great video and lesson. Which Snare is that?

[@BobSchoepenjr]

Amazing tricks 👍🏾

[@ArtOfDrumming]

Thanks Bob!

[@SAHBfan]

It would be good to know exactly what brushes are being used. I’m sitting at my snare as I watch this - I’ve tried the ‘flex stroke’ and it just doesn’t work with the brushes I have (too stiff?). Cool vid though 😎

[@ArtOfDrumming]

The 3 brush models in this video are the Vic Firth Heritage Brushes, the Vic Firth Split Brushes and the Vic Firth ReMix Brushes. Just as Florian said, a flexible brush works best for the flex stroke, but it also might take a few minutes until you develop a feeling for how the wires react to this special playing technique.

Awesome..

[@opiedrums6969]

This guys great!

[@ArtOfDrumming]

Thanks man - trying my best

[@opiedrums6969]

Welcome man. Really like the short to the point. There isn't enough stuff on brushes either.

[@TheMatthiasDrummer]

Tut mir leid wenn ich hiermit nerve, aber "dafür" (ich vermute dass das das ursprünglich Gemeinte war) mit "therefore" übersetzt zu hören bereitet mir körperliche Schmerzen. Therefore ist mehr ein "deswegen" als ein "dafür". Though, native speakers usually don't mind such little details, therefore you could absolutely still get by. My favourite technique in this video is the double stroke, because i didn't think that was possible before with brushes :)

[@Lupine.]

So, the flex stroke is basically a gravity without the "up" motion from the rim?

[@ArtOfDrumming]

Totally 💯 right!

[@ArtOfDrumming]

Good explanation - have to remember this when I explain that in a video for the next time ;-). Oso if you wanna check out more in-depth Brush courses make sure to visit our website ArtOfDrumming.com - there you find all courses completely for free.
