Exercises For Developing Brush Sweeps

Here is a short video that should answer the questions I have been receiving concerning my brush sweep technique.
I do a short demo and then show you how I teach this and practice it.
The exercises I am using to demonstrate this technique are in my book Advanced Coordination for Drum Set and Hand Percussion. If you are interested in a copy please contact me at [e-mail]
Please excuse the bad lighting since this video was recorded while I was out of town.
The practice pad I am using is an old Quiet Tone drum mute from the 1980's.
The brushes are Regal Tip Classic's.

Freaking *BEAUTIFUL* Rick. You remind me of some of the top brush cats I have ever seen! (Tony Williams, and Jake Hanna among them). Random question- is that a PTS/pre-tuned head?

Hi That is an old Henry Adler Quiet Tone practice pad. Sabian sells a version of them. Thanks for watching.

You can try but it is much easier with the traditional grip.
