Brushes
Demystified
I developed a method based that is perfectly teachable. It’s based on the following 3 tenets:
Lateral movement
Learn how to utilise the sounds only brushes can create. We do this using the “train tracks”.Four core techniques
Learn the 4 building blocks of simple and logical movement.Improvisational cells
Learn how to adapt stick vocabulary to brushes.
This is what I call The Brush Method. Let me teach you!
Hi, I’m Anthony
professional drummer, educator, and author
I joined the Australian Army Band when I was 18 and started teaching soon after. When I couldn’t find a clear, musical way to teach brushes, I created it myself. I developed a step-by-step method that helps drummers build control, expand their vocabulary, and start making music from day one.
“Anthony effectively demonstrates how to choreograph the basic hand motions for maximum efficiency.”
