Product Description

Steve and Vic have solved the age-old problem of wire brushes snagging on new coated drumheads by slightly angling the wires in the playing end. The light gauge wires glide across the head‚ allowing a smoother sweep and a velvet swish sound.

Customers are satisfied with the sound quality of the musical instruments. For example, they mention that the wires provide a fine sound, and they love the different sound textures they can get from these brushes. The angled brushes allow for two different sounds, with one side being slightly louder than the other.

Customers are mixed about the ease of bends of the musical instruments. Some mention that the tips are bent upwards so the wires don't poke a hole in any drum heads, while others say that they bend very easily and are very delicate. The rod handle will bend if you are heavy handed, and the bent tips don''t quite tuck in to the handles when fully retracted.

"Great set of brushes! Tips are at a slight angle to compensate for new heads. No getting caught as you circle...." Read more

"...The bent tips don't quite tuck in to the handles when fully retracted but the two stage brush spread is excellent, particularly when riding & you..." Read more

"...Why did it take so long to figure this out? The tips of the brushes are flared upwards so the don’t dig into the snare head. Great brushes." Read more

"These bend very easily and are very delicate. But they do their job with an exceptionally crisp sound...." Read more
