How to choose
Choose between wire brushes and plastic rutes based on the volume and texture you want.
Beginner
A beginner exploring brush technique will find the standard Wire Brushes a good starting point for practicing sweeps and light backbeats. Extend the wires gradually and retract them fully after each session to avoid bending.
Intermediate
A working drummer will alternate between the Heritage Brushes for a fuller sweep sound and the RUTE505 rutes when a song calls for more attack than brushes but less volume than sticks. Keep both in your stick bag so you can switch mid-set.
Expert
An experienced player will use the Legacy Brushes for detailed jazz and acoustic work where wire tension and spread affect the sound directly. Adjust the wire spread to taste for each room and check the handle grip regularly since brushes see frequent twisting motion.
