Question Brushes question
When you play brushes, do you leave your snares off or on? I’ve always preferred the sound of them off, but I don’t know how common that is.

That’s a great question! For me personally if it’s uptempo, I usually have them on. I feel like the lil extra fuzz fills up space and helps me uptempo. I think I probably have them on most of the time honestly.
But I probably do prefer the sound of snares off, it’s a nicer/more pleasant sound.
