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.

Acquisto soddisfacente. A buon prezzo in "Amazon Warehouse".
La particolarità delle "Punte metalliche ricurve" (posizionate verso l'alto) facilita il movimento sulla pelle riducendo il rischio di intrappolamento di qualche filo tra pelle e cerchio (cosa che a me è capitata).
Producono un suono morbido e pastoso e offrono, nel contempo, una buona scorrevolezza.
Unico accorgimento per evitare di danneggiarle è quello di fare attenzione nel rimetterle in sede nel manico quando non in uso.
Sono soddisfatto.
Consegna Amazon veloce e puntuale.

They are well made, of wire, which slides into the handle completely thus protecting the wire strands perfectly. The handles are made of rubber and are non slip, which is great. They are surprisingly light and give a good sound on the snare and various cymbals...hi-hat sounds exceptional. If you're deadly serious about your brush work I'd recommend these Steve Gadd signature brushes thoroughly.
