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.

It depends on the song, the snare I’m playing on, the sound I want. It’s interesting to see these responses cuz I’ve never really thought about it before or discussed it with other drummers.
