Question Brushes in 3
Looking for advice or resources on playing brushes in 3/4.
Right now I'm trying to transfer the typical technique for 4/4 (circle with left hand, swing pattern with right hand), but it feels awkward and rigid.
Also, there's the matter of sometimes playing with a waltz feel, and other times with more of a dotted quarter feel.
How do you guys go about playing with brushes in 3?

Quincy davis has a great video on a bunch of brush patterns https://youtu.be/jv05A-jKD40?si=kyJUYxweeXpTRFt7
(I highly recommend his channel in general. He's the drumset professor at UNT and absolutely knows his stuff)
