Can You Use Brushes With Edrums?
• Can You Use Brushes On...
1. Buy a ROCK SOLID drumset. This can’t be overlooked. The harsh truth is that if you want a drumset to last 10+ years, stay away from MOST Kat/Alesis/Simmons drumsets. Roland and Yamaha are the way to go.
2. If you’re going with a mesh drumset, you WILL have to replace the mesh heads over time. BUT you can cut down on how many mesh heads you have to buy, by using CLEAN CUT drumsticks. A shredded drumset can shred a mesh drumhead. It can snag a head and slowly slice a hole right through it. I’ve done this. Check the tip too!
3. KEEP THE RUBBER RIMS ON!! I’ve gone without the rims on. The sticks will get damaged, and begin to hurt the mesh heads and the cymbals. The cymbals visibly wear faster, I’ve seen it.
4. The kickdrum is susceptible to extreme damage if you aren't careful. I’ve sliced through a mesh kickdrum head when using a Iron cobra beater that turned sideways. Same with trick beaters. Also, stick to plastic beaters with mesh heads. The felt ones will damage mesh heads if given enough time. A quick work around is to just use a regular kickdrum patch. It will protect your mesh, and a patch is alot cheaper to replace than a $35 mesh head.
5. Use padding when moving gear
6. Certain rubber cleaners claim to increase the lifespan of any rubber you use it on. Meaning it won’t crack and turn a weird gray color as fast. So that could definitely be a part of a cleaning regime. DR Kenndo or 303 aerospace cleaner
7. If you use brushes, go with nylon ones. Stay away from metal.
It all comes down to how many hours of play you’re doing. Honestly, if you hit a cymbal with a stick for 10 years, some day it’s going to break. You kinda just gotta accept that, and replace it when it happens. But it all comes down to tip 1. If you buy the good stuff the first time, it won’t fall apart year 2.
