Ed Soph Brush Lesson Part 1 of 7 - Right Hand Technique

[@Dionysosable]

One of the Greatest Teachers in the World on the drumset ever. Very in dept with everything, and very deeply explained, and knowledgable. What a great man Ed Soph.

[@1967botz]

I studied with Ed at UNT and I owe ALL of my swing, bop, big band, chart reading, playing over a vamp, etc., to this man. Remember, this is ART and it is subjective. For the record, he IS right. If you don't practice...well, let's just say I want to be more than just a "decent" player. Ed made me the educator/performer/clinician I am today. Thanks for everything, Mr. Soph!

Ed teachers in the way a great poem works: not a single word is wasted and your focused attention is rewarded five-fold.

[@yuggothproductions]

Best brush series! Period.

[@tmaddrummer]

I'd have to say that this has been one of the best brush lessons that I've ever seen, and it's so well explained and easy to understand and accomplish..... thanks Ed! Blessings!!!

[@jamescpotter]

Ed, SUPER lesson. So far you are the only teacher I have found on the web who carefully explains and demonstrates the technique of holding the brush for maximum results with minimum effort a la the French grip. Therefore your swish or swirl is lush and exciting. Tonight as I watch TV I will practice the right hand via your instruction while driving my wife and dog to distraction! THX!

[@vikingsofvintageaudio7470]

The best drum tutorial I've ever seen! Thanks!

[@JoseCarlosHernandezM]

Mr. Soph, you are the best thank you sir!

[@arrigoaxia]

This is of incredible value. I've played brushes every now and then, looking for online lessons to get my playing into some shape, then I found this. After practicing a few hours this morning, the concepts here explained finally gave me the technique I wanted, to be able to play what I hear in my head. Spending some time on the basic strokes and techniques immediately proved to be rewarding. Just a few hours of this made me a better sounding brush player, leaving me with the feeling I can get the results I want. Thank you Mr. Soph and Evans!

[@themodernshoe2466]

Excellent brush video. You get the points across quick and give support for why you suggest these techniques. Nice!

[@CarlHamilton1914]

This is exactly what I was looking for! Someone who breaks it down instead of just showing you the end product. Excellent

[@benjaminhellert8531]

“You sound the way you move” love it!

[@garyridge3745]

Just great... the LR shared duties view just opens it all up! Thanks Ed

[@joesantamaria5874]

This is a brilliant lesson, I’ve only shedded it once, and it’s already been beneficial. I’ll need another week or so to get the right sound. Thanks Ed!

[@radeum1010]

excellent..as a baby boomer finding my way back to drums it is so good to see the stuff i always liked shown by guys whom i have always admired.

[@robbopaloobop]

it's all about touch...and this man's got it thanks for posting

[@svevendwarves70]

Ed Soph (and Evans Percussion), thank you!

[@andersmogensen1]

Amazing brush Education! Thank you Mr Soph

[@Auldhelm]

Great lesson!

[@richardgification]

Great informative lesson, you have done lots of Research, and You are great Teacher.

[@byron358]

One needs to practice at least 6 days per week. If not it will catch up with you no matter who you are. If you are playing several days a week with a group one might get away with not practicing on those days. I have been playing for 50 years and I still don't know Jack. Joe Morello would carry a practice pad with him and practice before every gig. Ed thanks for what you do for the drum world. Byron

[@hughmongus9476]

6 days is for the inferior musician. Any real virtuoso will practice at least 4 days per day

[@rhythmfield]

super - clear, useful information, I can already do this but Ed was giving me some insights I'd overlooked, like the ring going into fleshy part of hand..cool stuff.

[@onalyd]

thanks for sharing the knowledge from a master teacher. If you guys do another brush demo at some point how about camera angle from the rear

[@Mr1drumlover]

Thanks Ed for the great stuff... You rock, I mean, you swing... You know what I mean!!!

[@edsoph7006]

I know what you mean, 10 years later! Stay well.

[@63Baggies]

What a wonderful player and educator! When is Ed moving too London? :-)

[@dividedwords]

Killer information right here!

[@ns81]

Woa this is deep. Science.

[@m.haltenhoff8685]

Thank's a lot !

[@enriquevillafane6258]

Thank you master!!!

[@grt002]

is this from a dvd, or just an instructional video series put on by Evans?

[@AllanFelipe]

Why was the lesson 2 for left hand deleted or made private? ;(

[@micchemic]

awesome!

[@arkoganguly9255]

Guys, i can't find the second segment. Can anyone help me with the link? Really need it. Can't move forward otherwise!

[@timsears9340]

pretty much the same idea as if using wood sticks: hold sticks or brushes lighly....not to tight...btw Ive been playing the drums over 40+ plus & just now starting to get into brushes...have no idea why I wanted so long but...better late then never as the saying goes!!!

[@JonathanDavid01]

no disrespect by the way. excellent teacher

[@MatteoSaronni]

Tutorial perfetto, grazie

[@edsoph4149]

To chowin52: For the record, I was never in the military musically or otherwise.

[@pringledingle8427]

I disagree that you’re the man

[@CalTamaDrummer]

why arent his snares on?

[@dunkdriver1972]

top tip..... practice on pizza boxes!!!! it will save you buying drum heads as you'll find you will wear out lots of drum heads practicing. fabulous lesson by the way.

[@mrjeppe12345]

+dunkdriver1972 Omg u just saved my ass! i have been jusing books and stuff but pizza boxes are amazing

[@pringledingle8427]

Yeah but what about when you wear out your pizza box head? Then you gotta buy another pizza

[@JonathanDavid01]

phil hartman on drums?

[@richardfoulk3228]

Another gem from a master and yet some more wankers give it a thumbs down. Thanks Ed!
