Considered to be the leading educator on brush playing, Florian Alexandru-Zorn took a trip to Drumeo to teach us all about this under-utilized art. Needless to say, he provided us with a ton of valuable takeaways and a lot of material to practice! In this lesson, Florian will be outlining fundamental brush techniques to help you develop a firm foundation, and in the end apply them to modern genres of music.

Remember to leave a comment letting us know your favourite part of the lesson! We’ll choose a winner at random to receive two of Florian’s books (The Complete Guide To Playing Brushes and The Drum Master Key), as well as two of his DVDs (The Brush Revolution and The Brush Secret).
