This set of steel and plastic drum wire brushes allows you to create a different sound than drumsticks. Brushes can produce a sound that regular sticks cannot. Broadly speaking, there are two types of brushes: standard and sweep. With the sweep (slide) technique, you slide the brush over the snare, creating a rough, fine sound. This creates the characteristic, pleasant sound of brushes. These are often used in jazz and ballads. By using them in combination with sticks, you can expand the range of your playing. Using steel and nylon: The thin metal wire allows for delicate sound expression. Nylon produces a bright, light sound. Because it is a light material, it can also produce a light, airy sound.
