How to play a Bossa Nova with brushes

How to play a Bossa Nova with brushes I refer to this specific pattern as the One-Direction Bossa: Here’s how: Step 1️⃣ (Subdivision = 8th notes) RH starts on the ‘and’ of 1, and plays and of 1, 2 and 3, the beat 4 in the 1st bar, then Beats 1,2 and 3, then ‘ands’ of 3 and 4. All RH’s are played as inward sweeps, except for beat 4 in the 1st bar and the ‘and’ of 3 in the 2nd bar played as outward sweeps Step 2️⃣ LH fills in the ‘gaps’ by playing light fishhooks Step 3️⃣ Add Bossa/Samba feet Step 4️⃣ Put on your favourite Brazilian record and jam along! #jazzbrushes #drumbrushes #drumlesson #shorts #bossanova
