The Sound of Brushes - Ed Thigpen, is the book when it comes to knowledge and application of brush technique on the drum kit.  This book is universally held in high esteem by drummers and has stood the test of time as the highest standard of its kind.  It goes through exercises for Swing, ballads, Latin grooves, shuffles and 3/4 time.  Bush technique can open a whole world of different drum sounds and creates a more full and all rounded drummer.  Ed Thigpen's book shows the way.  From West London Drum Tutor, Drum lessons in Harrow, London.
