Here is a lesson on playing brush patterns for Brazilian Samba and Bossa Nova. This video is on the long side so please allow extra time for it to load.
Without question, the finest brush playing out there. In addition to absolute consumate mastery, his tutorial abilities are also paradigm. Everything is blacked out to leave the facial, hand, and drum expressions in conjunction. Brilliant.
Thanks for sharing your insight. Brushes bring a whole new dimension to drumming. When I was learning as a youngster, UA-cam didn't exist, now it is so much easier to see how things are done as opposed to listening to a recording.
Another goldmine of information and inspiration - there is a year's worth of stuff to work on here (for me at least). What I love is how applicable they are in a real-world gigging situation. It's practical and useful.
Thank you Rick! Last Easter my Cajon was stolen from my car. Instead of buying another cajon I decided to learn to play brushes. This video is GREAT covering Brazilian rhythms. Perhaps you can go over some Afro Cuban rhythm using brushes. There is nobody else on youtube covering Latin Brushes...Thanks again!
Hi Rick, some great stuff here! Could you explain the caixa brush rhythm at 3:44 in a little more detail and slow it down with you counting. Is that double on the second sixteenth of ever beat?
Thank you. This is great education. I'm a pianist looking to learn and add my own rhythms. Do you - or anybody watching - know what type/ brand of snare drum that is? Or what may type of snare may provide sounds similar to that?
That is an old QUIET TONE Drum Mute. The new ones are made nmby sabian. As far as snare drums go the brand is not as important as the head. Use a coated plastic head or an animal skin head.
I'd really like to know how you get that sound(i know it's mostly from hard work on sound)... What kind of snare, head, tuning... Overall, how do you get that dry crispy sound?
Practice....a lot. Also use calf heads on your snare when possible and good brushes with thinner wire. If you have good technique you can make a cardboard box sound good. Thanks Rick

He’s playing on a pad. Not a snare. It’d sound different on a snare
Practice ..Practice Practice every day.no excuses
Glad I subscribed
That's what I'm talkin' 'bout!!!
