An Introduction To Jazz Brushes With Steve Fidyk

Live from King Gong Studios at Steve Weiss Music, Steve Fidyk walks us through an introduction to jazz brush techniques. A longtime educator and retired drummer of the U.S. Army Blues Big Band, Steve breaks down the fundamentals of playing swing time with brushes in a way that is clear, musical, and easy to understand. In this lesson, he explains the unique responsibility of each hand and how they work together to create a strong, consistent swing feel that the entire band can hear and follow. Whether you're new to jazz drumming or looking to strengthen your brush technique, Steve's methodical approach helps demystify the motions, sounds, and timekeeping concepts that make brushes such an essential part of the jazz tradition. This video will help you learn to develop a solid swing foundation, improve your brush control, and better support an ensemble through clear, intentional timekeeping. Steve Fidyk plays Mapex Drums, Zildjian Cymbals, Remo Drumheads, Vater Sticks & Brushes, and DW Hardware. Shop the Vater Beantown Brush - https://www.steveweissmusic.com/produ...
