Thanks for all your questions and for those of you that turned up live, that was a lot of fun! Topics covered: - hitting cymbals with brushes - changing from brushes to sticks, and back - paradiddle application - fishhook with matched grip - a discussion of my 30-Day Brush Kickstart on YouTube

In a little over 15 hours from now, we'll be having our first Q&A and I couldn't be more excited!!! So far i've had 3 questions: - how to play cymbals with brushes - how to change from brushes to sticks and back - how to approach paradiddles For those of you that can make it, you'll find the link in the calendar tab, but for those that cannot then please post your questions below and I'll do my best to answer.

Let's get to know each other! Comment below sharing where you are in the world, a photo of your favourite snare drum, and something you like to do for fun. 😊 I'll go first - I live in Melbourne Australia, my favourite snare is the Gretsch 2mm Copper 14x5 (with Kentville Kangaroo Head) and I love long-distance running 🏃‍♂️

Happy New Year to all! I am so excited to let you all know that I will be running the first Brush Lab Live Q&A next Monday (Sunday for most of you), and it's open to all members! I know that not everyone can make it, so I would love for each of you to submit a questions below

Happy New Year to everyone in the Brush-Lab-Community around the world! I'm looking forward to joyful brush-moments in 2026 and learning more about playing brushes. After Christmas holidays with family and friends I picked up on something the last two days, that challenged me in the last Brush-Lab-Lesson (B2B) with Anthony in December (>> see classroom, B2B 7th Dec.): Playing Doubles out of the two-directional-singles with cross over. For me, doubles with brushes in trad-grip are one of the most challenging movements and technical-skills to develop at the moment, with which I struggle the most to get it accurate and clean. It's going to be a long way... Anyway: in the B2B-Lesson with Anthony on 7th December he showed me a great exercise to practice doubles, adapted from C.S. Wilcoxon's material. The two sheets "Rolling in Rhythm" have three sections A, B and C. Here is my "work-in-progress attempt" of section A at 100 bpm (2/4), playing HiHat on every 2, repeating section A (first page) twice. With two little mistakes in the 2nd turn at the end of line one (bar 4) and at the very bottom (last bar of section A)... As good as it gets so far.
