Brushes are essential tools for drummers in acoustic jazz settings, offering a range of expressive possibilities. This workshop covers foundational brush techniques, including basic time patterns, accents, textural possibilities, articulation, and finger control. We’ll also explore how brushes can open up new ideas, dynamics, and interactive opportunities in your playing.
Open to all drummers and any musician interested in learning the basics of time playing with brushes.
