Jazz Drums – Brushes

Listen

Since the prehistoric age, drummers have always been asked to play softer. Lately, the mastering of the drumming technique, along with the technical improvements of the gears, electronic devices and even loop packages have somehow helped them to go in this direction.

Nevertheless, aside from “What is the hardest style of drumming?” (which, by the way, for Quora users seems to be progressive metal), some other unsolved dilemmas are “How do you play drums without disturbing your neighbours?”, “How do you play drums softly?” or “How can I make my drummer quieter?”.

Jazz Drums – Brushes is the solution to all these questions. Never again will you search for “10 Ways To Get Your Worship Drummer To Play Softer”: with Jazz Drums – Brushes you’ll obtain a versatile, easy to handle (no sticks are needed), quiet drummer for only few bucks.

Jazz has always been a passion of ours.

Therefore, after “Simple Jazz – Bass” and “Scoring Piano”, we naturally desired to sample the missing instrument of the classical jazz trio: the Drums.

Hence, we begun to dig in search of sampled brushed drums, realizing that, despite the dozens of high quality drum libraries, few of them featured “proper” brush strokes. In fact, that sweeping motion that made brushes so popular in jazz drumming is rarely reproduced faithfully with samples.

Thus, with the usual care for the script challenge, we started to think about how to isolate those complex sweeping motions into simpler units that would be easy to be sampled. Was it going to be possible to put them back together in a way that would build up an “Elvin Jonesish” groove? We will let you determine whether or not we reached this goal.
