Softer Than Traditional Brushes

If metal brushes are too loud or aggressive for your sets,  percussionists suggest giving Vic Firth Jazz Rakes a go. These retractable brushes feature thin plastic bristles for a smooth, nuanced response and subdued volume. The bristles have good flex and a tight spread for swirling, and when you're done, they tuck neatly back into their sheaths for a compact pair you can throw in the front pocket of your cymbal bag. Vic Firth Jazz Rakes are a must-try for jazz ballad recordings and quiet acoustic gigs.
