## Questions & Answers

**Q: Kind of a silly question, but does it include one or two brushes? Because the picture only shows one, and the title says "brush." Thanks!**
A: It's a pair of brushes. Definitely comes with two.

**Q: Would these be good for a beginner?  Or can anyone recommend some for a beginner.**
A: I don't see why they wouldn't be good for a beginner.  They are very "classic" in that they have a lot of spring in the wires and a fairly wide fan-out.  They remind me a lot of the brushes that were made in the early 60s when I was just learning to play.

**Q: Why is there a warning about a harmful carcinogenic chemical on the case of these brushes? What chemical is that?**
A: If have no idea. I would go to Vic Firth for that answer. I'm sure they don't want to sell an item that has this warning.

**Q: Do they work with elecronic drums? Yamaha DTX562K**
A: I wouldn't think these brushes would work well with electronic drums as they are quite light.  I think they are wonderful for traditional brush play on acoustic drums.  Since I wrote my review, they have become my "go-to" brushes for jazz work and 50's style rock 'n' roll.

Brilliant piece of kit ,.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great brushes
*by T***K on 15 March 2014*

Ok so I have to say these are a really nice set of brushes whether you be a regular gigging musician or a newbie... These brushes are made to last FOREVER, with a comfortable purple rubber coating that helps with grip and a nice weight / length. You will find two notches in the metal retractor / extender end which allows the brushes to be used in a more fanned position or a closer and dense position BUT I have to say that on my set the retractor / extender was stiff enough to allow me a greater variety of positions than just these two options and never slipped whilst playing. The sound of these brushes are exactly what you would expect from a decent pair of brushes and I have to say that if I had a choice of only thanking out one pair of brushes it would either be these or the Steve Gadd vic firths depending on the gig. If you are after a second pair of brushes that are completely different from these I would try a pair the live wires BUT please note they are like MARMITE! You either love them or hate them as they are a world apart from traditional brushes given you other sounds / volumes that would not normally be possible.
