Modern Jazz Brushes (ADpak)
With brushes, it's all about the nuances and accents. Our RealSweep system lets you make realistic sweeps complete with accent strokes and lifelike stops resulting in the most irresistible grooves! Production-ready presets give you instant access to great sounds.

With a setup of some of the finest cymbals from Meinl, Paiste and Sabian this kit has everything you need to produce outstanding jazz tracks.
Our RealSweep system allows you to make accents in the sweeps without interrupting the sweep motion. You can also stop the sweep at any time for pauses.
