Excellent lesson. Would you ever consider doing a video lesson for the brush pattern on the Miles Davis song Mood from the album ESP. Tony Williams uses a cross stick and brush hybrid pattern around 21 seconds in, which sounds great.
Sorry for the delayed response! The way I would play it is the right hand sweeping out on every on- beat, in on every off-beat, then left hand cross stick on 3.
Hi, great vid! One question about the basic swing pattern with brushes...what do you think about doing the swing notes when the right hand brush is on the left side of the snare drum (when the hands are crossed)? If i'm not mistaken i've seen players like Jeff Hamilton have a preference for that way of swinging...Thanks in advance!
Thanks Henry. I don't subscribe to the whole "this is the only way to play a swing pattern" etc. I have a whole bunch of swing patterns that follow that formula, as well as the complete opposite. Every variation has a slight difference in sound. Eg. some tunes require a more legato/smooth sounding groove, and some need more of an articulate sound.

Well, for me this is intimidating; much to much information in a 8 minute lesson. I'm still studying your 30 days brush lessons. The progression in the difficulty of that course is fitting me nicely. But the above video is frightening me more than it is encouraging to buy your book. Is the book also meant for the more advanced drummer??
Hi Jack, please don't feel intimidated, as you're on the right path. The 30-day kickstart is a great starting point, then if like you could move onto purchasing my first brush book, or one of my courses. My newest course, Brush Grooves on Demand would be a good next step. The ideas presented in this video are for those who have a good grasp on my method. Yes, it is more advanced, but you can apply the same concepts to slightly simpler material. All I'm presenting here what's eventually possible. In my newest book that I'm working on, I will be laying all the step needed to get to this point. Thanks for checking out my video.
@@LuvskiDrums Indeed. The Oktavas are very sensitive and fairly neutral. I use them as overheads, though; don’t do any close miking (aside from the bass drum).
"This student's been studying with you for 40 years now"? Have I heard that right in your intro? If this is true, then why are you yourself clearly under 40 years old?
If you had affiliate links to the products you use (brushes, heads, cymbals, etc) I would use them!

@@LuvskiDrumsThank you, this worked well for the track. You just have to slightly accent the on beat so it stands out from the off beat 👍
Gold!
Thank you!
Great video!
Thanks mate!

An Oktava MK-012 for close-miking the snare? That’s . . . bold.
Yeah man, it picks up the brush sweeps much more than the 57!

@@AstAMoore I saw someone use them as tom close mics! I might have to try that as well
@@LuvskiDrums They’re rated for up to 140 dB of sound pressure, so you should be good to go.

Haha it’s a bit ok a joke! Obviously that student is me, and I turned 40 this year
