Easy Brush Techniques for Every Drummer - Greg Hutchinson

[@TheEdwardProject]

This lesson has clear info, and a joyful instructor. Well done!

[@rhythmfield]

I’m playing for over 50 years but really enjoying your videos. I’m always looking for great ideas about how to teach and show students of all levels the magic of traditional jazz drumming and the keys to the Kingdom of Swing

[@pvillez]

I'm not even a drummer but keep coming back to your videos as you offer such clear and deep concepts of rhythm. I've never played Swing or had a desire too, but am now gonna take that dog for a walk, regularly. Thank you!

[@tmaddrummer]

Greg, what you're teaching is important, but how you're teaching is superb! Thanks and Blessings!

[@olivierijazz]

I followed Hutchinson, and I have some CDs in which he plays, I must say that he's a very very very, good drummer

[@houseal]

I've been playing for decades but for some reason this technique has always been a mystery to me. Great lesson, very helpful!

[@dominicchetta1463]

Hi Greg - did your mom once work for the Blinn Health/Beauty Company in Brooklyn /Queens area about 35 years ago? If so,she once introduced me to you .She said you were eager to pursue playing drums or you had already started. I am a drummer,too..still playing ..met and took several lessons from the great Idris Muhammad,and grew up heavily influenced by Steve Gadd and Harvey Mason...I also attended Drummers Collective in N.Y.C.around 1977-1979...hope all is well with you/yours...looking forward to your response....Best,Mike.

[@JulianFernandez]

Hutch for the WIN!

[@phillydee666]

I'm left-handed so it kind of screws me up really bad

[@phillydee666]

That sounds strange but my mind occupies in a different pattern musically I mean Steve Howe sometimes make sense to me but Peter entwistle make complete sense to me it's strange

[@noeliadurand7212]

Buenísimo el video, muchas gracias! Saludos desde Mendoza, Argentina

[@reginaldbarnes632]

So helpful. Played all my life but never quite learned proper brush technique. And you understand the importance of smiling!

[@robertgreen3702]

Great lesson. Thanks!

[@teresaskinner5401]

Thank you so much 💕

[@robertkees6048]

Love it. When I first learned to swing with brushes my teacher called it "making mash potatoes" and so of course that's what I call it today. HEY, WTF are you doing? Making mashed potatoes dude!

[@airamsouza411]

Thank you!!

[@LTColumbOX]

Nice lesson. Thanks

[@PeartDisicple481]

[@R_Ultraloud]

[@madhush.aa101]

Thankyou

[@さわちん-z2v]

I found great lesson videos.😌

[@FadjarMoeljarto]

Nice n smooth 🥁👌

[@teresaskinner5401]

Greg is great 🙂

[@attiliosylvio2799]

What kind of coated snare head is best for the brushes?

[@blujay9191]

Just the regular Remo Ambassador or Evans G1 .. but the Evans calftone heads are especially nice for brushes

[@cymbolic_space1832]

those bad boys delaminate a little too soon for my liking. I have some but when then center tears, using brushes is a real bum.​@@blujay9191

[@christianscott6963]

This great!! Two things that one needs to play brushes:1) pair of brushes, 2) coated heads!! And if your gonna walk the dog you don't need a dog, in this case ;) For reals though: get some fresh snare heads... That's where the volume is too! The textured heads amplify the scratch and "white noise/crashing wave sound"

[@petr.agapov]

Master

[@andrewleventis8341]

I walking the dog, thanks Greg....great lesson

[@LeakyJAZZ]

I’ve learned to brush by necessity, and I’ve learned to imply that basic “walk the dog” pattern just by how I brush the head, without really lifting the brush. When I see these videos, I always see drummers taping the head, and when I try it, it sounds dumb, or not as cool as the way I do it. I’m inclined to believe that this drummer knows a lot more than me, but obviously I’m missing something.

[@josephs5587]

I’ve always heard from many amazing drummers that with brushes, you should just imitate what you hear, not necessarily what you see. The sound is what matters the most, and if you’re able to get a satisfying sound using whatever technique is comfortable for you, then you’re doing it right.

[@LeakyJAZZ]

@@josephs5587 well cool

[@chewgumer]

A neglected art but beautifully explained here.

[@AntKneeLeafEllipse]

Walk the dog, walk the dog, walk the dog, walk the dogWOOF- WALK the dog -!

[@Alberto-Carreto]

¡Woowwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww! cool playing

[@GeoffClapp-up7oy]

HUTCH!!

[@yekri2398]

To resume, think walk around the clock😊

[@catchme123581321]

the camera focus is on the cymbals and not on Greg

[@tps0616]

nothing like brushing up on the basics. 😅

[@felixbloxsom]

I’LL COME FIND YOU

[@julesmonen1896]

Papa Jo

[@jasper36]

I've always found "walk the dog" to be misleading. A more accurate phonetic representation would be "Dog, the walk" right?

[@rhythmfield]

No. But what would make more sense is: DOG-walk-the dog-walk-the 1 2 and 3 4 and - starting on “walk“ starts you on beat FOUR - for a beginner or new, start on beat ONE.
