Brush technique
starts with dynamics and feel.
While brush-specific samples are on the roadmap, DrumShed already excels at the skills brush playing demands: dynamic control, feel transitions, and tasteful groove building.
Build brush-ready skills
Brush playing demands exceptional dynamic control, smooth feel transitions, and musical sensitivity. These tools develop exactly those skills.
Dynamic control
Practice playing at whisper volumes with the Dynamic Control drill. Brushes demand pp-level control that sticks don't.
Feel transitions
Move between straight and swing feels smoothly. Brush playing lives in the transitions between rhythmic feels.
Ghost notes
Build grooves heavy on ghost notes. Brush patterns are almost entirely ghost-level dynamics with occasional accents.
Jazz grooves
The beat builder includes jazz presets — the genre where brushes live. Build swing patterns to practice along with.
Play along
Apple Music integration lets you practice brush-appropriate grooves alongside jazz recordings at the right tempo.
Coming soon
Brush-specific samples and sweep pattern visualization are on the roadmap. The fundamentals are ready now.
