You also experiment with different sticks. Comes in real helpful when you're trying to
play quiet sometimes. It also has other advantages such as it's teaching your muscles a different
way because they respond to the drums differently. You have to work a little harder with certain
sticks, especially brushes, to pull the notes out than you do with your regular drum sticks.
So and like I said, with the quiet thing it's very beneficial if you live with people, so
if somebody's taking a nap and you still want to get some practicing done. So it's a good
way to do that. So for instance if I was to play a bossa nova with these, it sounds a
lot different. Okay I hope nobody in Brazil heard that. Anyway moving on with the brushes.
These take a lot more work. So for instance with the doubles, they don't bounce. A little
bit, but not like a stick does. You drop a stick like that you get a lot more bounces
out of it. With this, you get a couple. So you got to pull those notes out, especially
if you want people to heat them. Slow it down. Just doubles. Right, right, left, left, right,
right. I talked to you about that earlier. The toms you have to work even harder because
they don't bounce like a snare drum does. Brushes also do with the texture coating on
the drums, come up with all kinds of cool sounds. Brushes.
