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.

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.

Merry Christmas for all those who celebrate it and happy new years to everyone else. I hope everyone has a great time over the holiday period. It has been a pleasure hanging out and playing drums with you in 2025. Thanks to @Anthony Stanislavski for putting this great community together. :)

Hey everybody. As I'm into bossa nova a little bit at the moment, I'd like to share two further approaches, that I picked up from Anthony and that I'm exploring now ("work in progress") under his guidance. >> Thanks at that point to the brush-master. 🙏 In one of the examples I play two different accent-patterns with the RH, while the LH hand is sweeping. You can find these in the BGOD-PDF on page 42. And preliminary exercises on page 40 and top of 41, which I play ahead in my clip, before going into the patterns. >> Suggestions for improvement are very welcome.
