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.
The Modern Jazz Brushes ADpak features a beautiful Premier Gen-X drum set and a mint condition Ludwig Acrolite snare drum famous for its rich sound and tone. The drums are played with brushes and have been tuned up slightly for a Modern Jazz sound. 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. This gives you extremely realistic brush performances for an irresistible groove!
