Downloaded the pdf, was hoping for some detail on where to strike and with which brush for these permutations?

[@TimMetz]

Thanks for downloading the PDF! The Right hand is the top line the LH is the bottom line. As far as where to hit the drum, start with where your hand is in your time flow. Try not to disrupt your motion as much as possible. The idea is economy of motion. Hope this helps!

[@cassiebakermusic]

@@TimMetz Thank you!

[@midnightrainstoparis]

Nice vid!

[@TimMetz]

Thank you!

[@jckcrnt]

awesome video!

[@dylanofrias5007]

Hey Tim, thanks for this great video. Your traditional grip technique is very interesting when you sweep with your left hand. Could you give a brief explanation? Thank you.

[@TimMetz]

Yes, I go more counter clockwise and like to turn my hand over to get a fatter sound with the brush on the head. Hope this helps!

[@heldertiago124]

Great video, very informative!

[@TimMetz]

Thank you so much! Glad you enjoy it.

[@jchannon1057]

I LOVE the sound of your Gretsch!! Can you please post a video on how you tune your bass drum? I NEED that kick sound 😂

[@TimMetz]

Thanks so much! Unfortunately, I don't really have a system for tuning other than using my ears and turning the rods until I like the sound. That being said, I might figure out a way to do a video on this anyway. Stay tuned!

[@jr44d2]

[@kirkabe5155]

Tim, awesome videos as usual! Just wondering if you recommend the left hand circle clockwise or counter-clockwise? In this video you're going counter-clockwise but on an earlier brush video you circle clockwise. Also, which do you think sounds better? Seems like more of the old schoolers went counter-clockwise.

[@TimMetz]

Thanks so much Kirk! I primarily use counter-clockwise. It's just a matter of preference, I don't think one sounds better than the other. Being able to do both gives you options.

Tim Metz with the youtube hustle

[@TimMetz]

Mike Sera hey Mike, did you like the Comping with the Hi Hat video? Thanks for the inspiration.

[@Mistah00d]

I love your videos and have learned a lot from them so thank you. Another great channel to check out for some mind blowing brush techniques is "rickdior". Cheers.

[@TimMetz]

Thanks so much! I'll check those out.

[@igorstankovic3275]

hi mate can u tell me what brushes u use ?

[@TimMetz]

Igor Stankovic Sure, they are the standard Regal Tip retractable brushes, NOT the Jeff Hamiltons.

[@russellesimonetta9071]

Tying to play what works for other drummers can be very frustrating. Just sit down and find what works for you. staccato hit at a say 35 to 45 degree angle. For a more legato feel lateral strokes. That is also great for getting doubles.

[@VmagV03]

кто же так монтирует видео,разве можно делать переход на ударе,когда пытаешься рассмотреть как именно этот удар делается

[@3incher982]

Idk why but u strike me as a guitar player rather a drummer

[@TimMetz]

Maybe Marty Schwartz? I've been told we never appear in the same room.
