Hi Rick! I just discovered you on YT and am now subscribed. I'm the drummer of a community band up here in New England and we are performing a Benny Goodman medley in our summer repertoire which requires a bit of brushwork. I'm getting some ideas from watching your advanced brush technique videos but in a 35 piece band playing out of doors, without mic'ing, whatever I do with brushes just gets lost outside. I tend to play the brushes with as much snap as I can and with no quarter note circular patterns as the selection calls for. Is there something you would play differently due to the venue location? I am curious what kind of brushes you use. My favorite are some very old and beat up Calato non-retractable wood handled brushes. Great grip and balance. Thank you for your no-nonsense informative videos! You are a great teacher!

rickdior do you know which ones? Because I have the Jeff Hamilton signature brushes and I’m not too happy with them. Your seem a little more bendable
@rickdior4 жыл бұрын
Just the standard black classic retractable that have been around forever. The gauge of the wire is thinner than the Hamilton's

Wiktor Kabat It’s a great pad for brush playing. I find it a little too hard and stiff for sticks, but that’s all the more impetus to learn to keep your hands relaxed - it doesn’t feel good when you don’t. I did have to get a pair of the nylon-tip version of my favorite stick, because the coating on the head is so durable that it very quickly wears down the bead of the stick, like sandpaper! A pair I had with round beads now had acorn-shaped beads. So I use that pad only with brushes, or with the nylon tipped sticks. But that durable coating makes for great-sounding and long-lasting brush pad. What’s also cool is you can use it by itself on a snare stand, or if you set it on top a snare drum you can still hear the snares.

@@rickdior Great pads, invented by my teacher Henry Adler in New York, and he produced them himself, I believe, through the 1950s-70s. Not sure when the patent was picked up by Sabian.
