http://bangthedrumsquickly.com In this lesson we go over a couple brush patterns (a basic pattern, and ballad pattern). We also go over some lics to go with the patterns. When practicing the brushes you want to maintain a good sound, and the best way to achieve that is by making sure the left hand circling is played in time. Good brush playing requires a lot of the same skills as when playing with sticks, such as keeping a good feel and sound, listening to and accompanying the soloist, and also soloing. but thats another story.
