To address the challenges of today”™s players, Russ”™ new Hi-Def Retractable Wire Brushes offer a totally new approach in brushes with a dedicated brush for each hand! The “œSweep” brush features medium gauge wire for a smooth sound, while the “œRide” brush offers clear projection and incredible rebound with its heavy gauge wire and tight spread.
“The “˜Riding”™ hand plays itself,” Russ explains. “œIt has a rebound that I have never felt from any other brush. Playing fast tempos is a breeze! The “˜Sweeping”™ hand is big and musical with a great sound! This totally new approach to the brushes makes them more accessible to a whole new generation of players!”
“Let”™s face it,” Russ continues, “brush playing has become a bit of a lost art. The tools themselves haven”™t been updated to deal with what players are now facing in live performance with Pro-Tools tracks flying in on stage, walls of amps, triggered drums, etc. Trying to get brushes to carry through a large ensemble in a big hall is very difficult. I needed brushes that could cut through the music but in a real musical way. And thanks to my work with Vic Firth, we have something that is unique and fantastic!”
