Brushed for rim flexes

I got a pair of Vic Firth retractable WB brushes and they seem to be horrible for doing rim flexes. I am a new to brushes, but I am quite positiveI’m doing it correctly so that being said anybody run into the same problem and if so, or just generally, what brushes would you recommend that room flexes are no issue? Thanks.

Scope tomorrow

Have my next scope tomorrow after having two clear ones. Please pray for me or wish me luck that scope and cytology will be clean tomorrow as well. Thanks

22 inch bass

Sorry if I’ve asked this before however, all I have right now is a 22 inch bass drum and what could I do to make it more jazz friendly? Thanks.

Timothy Roberts MC roots

As usual, excuse the playing as I’m out of practice but this is a 20 inch Mike Clark roots prototype ride. 1912 grams I am very happy with it. I like the darker note and it’s got a little bit of trash but not too much. Keep in mind this is a recorded with an iPhone and my room is a pretty bad room.

Well this will be it

I hope this is the one . I’ve tried a ton of different rides. Liked a few and disliked a few as well. However getting too expensive shipping all time so I’m just going to keep this one whether I like it or not ( it’s still on the way) . It’s been a fun ride, interesting learning experience

PSA

Just wanted to say the 20 inch Agop 30th anniversary I returned is back up on Memphis drum shop. 2012 grams. It’s one I may regret returning so I wanted to give heads up.

Let’s have fun! Help me decide

It’s down to these 2 cymbals. They are the exact ones. Tell me what sounds better to you and why. We all know it’s subjective but I’m just curious. I may or may not use as second ride with my k con 22 mtl. Anyways I’d love to hear opinions! I’m kinda getting burnt out with my hunt so unless it’s shockingly different in person I believe I’m going to keep which ever one I choose.
Maybe I’m dumb but it seems like I can only post one link, but I’ll post other in comment section.

Yep.. me again

What do you guys think of this ride? I’m beginning to realize I’m hard to please

Liking this one better

Still bad jazz playing but this Istanbul 30th anniversary 20 inch is more articulate and less clangy than other one

Tuning question

I have 5 piece kit. 22 inch bass drum. 10/12/16 inch Toms and 5.5 by 14 inch snare. Any specific tuning tips to make it sound more jazzy?

Hearing protection

Obviously always a good idea but do you jazz drummers tend to wear it all the time? I’ve never been in a jazz group but I imagine hearing all the dynamics are so much more important in jazz so wondering if it’s hard to wear hearing protection without it affecting your touch/dynamics. Sorry if dumb question

Awaiting this new toy

Got this exact cymbal coming. Hope it sounds as good in person (at least it sounds good to my ears) as it does in this demo!

Question for those who ended up with cystectomy

I hope I don’t offend anyone or scare anyone but wanted to ask if you started off with invasive or at least stage 1 and how quickly it happened. While I know everyone is different and there are no guarantees, I only ask because I started off multi focal ta high grade a hair over a year ago. Had one recurrence of 2 small low grade tumors. 2 clean scopes and cytology in row. So no recurrence of high for a year. Just wondering if this bodes well for the future or if anyone was on same path as me and suddenly after a year or two it suddenly went bad.
