How to Switch from Brushes to Sticks - Greg Hutchinson | 2 Minute Jazz

Often asked: How do we change from brushes to sticks while we're playing? Different ways.

Some guys like to put the brush between your legs while you're playing.

You grab one out...

Vice versa and we're playing brushes, right?

Now, you got to be able to put the brush down.

Grab the sticks.

So it's not about...

Like you don't want that, you want a continual sound to be happening. So,

Or, you put the sticks here. It's called the reach for it.

Either way, I guess the really important thing is that you're able to switch either from the stick to the brush or brush to stick without stopping the motion of the music. So practice that every day just going back and forth, back and forth.

That's my quick tip for the day. Hutch.
