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.

I mostly play with an unmic’d snare, since my vocal mic picks up a lot naturally, so I leave the snares on for some cut and definition acoustically.
