Great video! The flex stroke (I thought it was my invention :-) is my favourite; I fix some rubber-foam (like they use for bycicle handles/steering) around the end of the brush handle. (about 5 cm) . That foam protects the brush shaft and gives a nice rebound for this brush technique. (excuse my English)
As always...I love lesson like that! I love the sound of those 3 kinds of brushes...and i would like to know wich brushes you use in this great video because i would like purchase them. . .thanks for those tricks Florian and keep on brushing 😄
It would be good to know exactly what brushes are being used. I’m sitting at my snare as I watch this - I’ve tried the ‘flex stroke’ and it just doesn’t work with the brushes I have (too stiff?). Cool vid though 😎
The 3 brush models in this video are the Vic Firth Heritage Brushes, the Vic Firth Split Brushes and the Vic Firth ReMix Brushes. Just as Florian said, a flexible brush works best for the flex stroke, but it also might take a few minutes until you develop a feeling for how the wires react to this special playing technique.
Tut mir leid wenn ich hiermit nerve, aber "dafür" (ich vermute dass das das ursprünglich Gemeinte war) mit "therefore" übersetzt zu hören bereitet mir körperliche Schmerzen. Therefore ist mehr ein "deswegen" als ein "dafür". Though, native speakers usually don't mind such little details, therefore you could absolutely still get by. My favourite technique in this video is the double stroke, because i didn't think that was possible before with brushes :)
Good explanation - have to remember this when I explain that in a video for the next time ;-). Oso if you wanna check out more in-depth Brush courses make sure to visit our website ArtOfDrumming.com - there you find all courses completely for free.
