How to choose
Choose between wire brushes for sweeping textures and rods for a quieter stick-like attack.
Beginner
A player new to brush work benefits from the Vater Standard Brush, which is straightforward to sweep and tap on a snare while learning basic patterns. Practice slow, even circular sweeps before adding accents.
Intermediate
Drummers covering more styles add a Vater Splashstick or the Meinl SB201 Multi-Rod Bamboo Brush Sticks for a middle ground between brushes and full sticks. Switch between rods and brushes within a song to vary dynamics.
Expert
Session and jazz drummers often keep the Vater Monster Brush and Dixon Wire Brush both in their bag, choosing between them based on how much sustain a room needs. Retract or fan the wires carefully after each use to keep them from bending out of shape.

About Brushes & Rods
