Vic FirthJazz Drum Brushes - Retractable - Heavy Gauge Wire - White Plastic Handle

Ok so I have to say these are a really nice set of brushes whether you be a regular gigging musician or a newbie...These brushes are made to last FOREVER, with a comfortable purple rubber coating that helps with grip and a nice weight / length.You will find two notches in the metal retractor / extender end which allows the brushes to be used in a more fanned position or a closer and dense position BUT I have to say that on my set the retractor / extender was stiff enough to allow me a greater variety of positions than just these two options and never slipped whilst playing.The sound of these brushes are exactly what you would expect from a decent pair of brushes and I have to say that if I had a choice of only thanking out one pair of brushes it would either be these or the Steve Gadd vic firths depending on the gig.If you are after a second pair of brushes that are completely different from these I would try a pair the live wires BUT please note they are like MARMITE! You either love them or hate them as they are a world apart from traditional brushes given you other sounds / volumes that would not normally be possible.

Good quality as expected from this brand. Beautiful colour.

I hate paying for brushes as I deo not use them much, but our latest set has at least 3 brush tracks in it. I am used to cheap ones that fall to bits after several uses..... I read the reviews and thought, I am gonna go for it and bought the Vic Firth ones. I didn't buy for the name at all. I wanted value for money and believe me I do not regret it one bit. These brushes certainly seem to be the deal and I am happy!

Excellent. These are my second pair of brushes after buying a cheapy £10 set and then loosing them. I really feel that the mechanism which keeps the brushes 'locked in' when extended will keep working well, unlike the cheapy ones.Worth the investment.

I recently bought a pair of inexpensive generic brushes from Amazon that started to fall apart within a week (not Vic Firth I hasten to add) and I got a refund and purchased these Jazz wire brushes instead.Having owned some other Vic Firth Heritage brushes for some time (and loving them) I should have done this from the start and realised that cheaper Chinese branded brushes are a false economy.These Jazz Wire brushes are still retractable which makes them easy to carry in a stick bag without snagging, but the handle is made of a sturdy white plastic and the brush wires are stiffer than on the Heritage models.I think the Heritage brushes are best suited to new players as they are more flexible and able to be used across more genres, but I actually really like the stiffness of the wires on these Jazz Brushes and can feel the drumhead and practice pad through them a little more.The handles have a knurling embossed into the plastic which makes the grip better and they are comfortable to play for a long time.I really like these brushes and can happily recommend them and if you are considering a cheaper alternative from a generic brand then I can only offer my advice from experience and say save your time and get something like this instead, they'll play nicer and last longer.

If you are playing brushes and struggling to be heard, these are the tool for you.Pro's:Greater volume from the drums.Almost stick like definition from cymbals.They're robust (outliving any and all of the many brushes I have tried).Notched for differing degrees of splay.Casing is not brittle (like some) and can take a knock/rimshot.Cons:If you're playing very softly, the sound off the skin is "raspier" than a normal brush and not so nice.

I bought these as my first pair of brushes and am pleased with them. I've not used any before so its new to me, but my drum teacher was impressed with the way they were put together. As another reviewer said, they have some weight to them but arent overly heavy and this kind of adds to the quality feel. Once they are retracted into the handles there doesnt seem to be any danger of the wires coming back out accidentally and being bent in your stick bag.

I was very pleased with the prompt delivery of my Vic Firth Retractable Wire Heritage Brushes.They make a very pleasing sound on my snare drum.They pack away neatly into the handle of the brush and are a good weight.

The Vic Firth brand is top-shelf, and that is what I wanted in a set of brushes. No disappointment at in the quality and price of this product.

about five years ago I bought these thinking they would be cool for my Washboard I'm beyond happy with them. But after five years of thrashing the dreads I thought I would buy a second set even though the first pair still useable. I mean I have really put them to the test. Durable. Expensive but worth it to me my first pair cost me 23$

These brushes are just what you expect.They sound good, are comfortable to use, and are easy to store with the extendo-cover-thing.
