Authentic brush drum beats in your songs with a few clicks of the mouse.
Use them out of the box or morph them into your own custom grooves.
For producers and songwriters alike.
As with our other midi drum loop collections, Songwriter Brushes provide a wide range of handy brush grooves: from the super basic to the beautifully syncopated ones. If you are after a brush-sound of drums, you’ll find this pack chock-full of inspiration.
Regardless of the approach, all of these brush beats are highly usable, and you’re bound to find the perfect ones for your music.
COMPUTER MUSICThey snap together beautifully, particularly when you meld
the appropriate genre-flavoured grooves with their respective kits.
SOUND ON SOUNDThe grooves are very usable, the MIDI obviously editable,
and the price pretty modest given what’s on offer.
RECORDING MAGAZINEOf course, the Songwriter Brushes pack is right at home with the Pop Brushes kit.
The greatest compliment a drummer can receive is that their groove feels good. All real drummers shift the timing of subdivisions and certain beats ever so slightly. The great ones do it in such a way that feels good for the listener.
This collection of midi brush loops is injected with a natural, human feel of a great drummer.
Merely recording even a world-class drummer on an e-drumset doesn’t guarantee the results will translate to an acoustic-like performance.
We carefully edited or programmed each note. As you can hear, our brush loops sound as close as possible to what a great drummer using brushes would sound on acoustic drums. We ensured that the feel was consistent while keeping the brush grooves loop seamlessly.
While usually used in lower-volume musical settings, drums played with brushes have a vast dynamic range.
Micro-dynamics can make or break a groove. Even at lower dynamics, drums stricken with brushes sound different depending on how soft they are played. They add articulation and expression to the groove, much like we speak.
Our brushes midi loops contain the all-important realistic dynamics and articulations to convey the natural performance down to the most subtle levels. With the occasional brush sweeps thrown into the mix, they’ll make your rhythm section groove with joy.
A good blend of human timing, microdynamics, and appropriate articulations make a groove sit “in the pocket.” We, drummers, never spot working on playing and staying “in the pocket.”
Although nothing beats a great brush player laying down a deep groove on acoustic drums, we did our best to translate as much of that essence as possible into our brush loops and over to your music.
All Songwriter Brushes loops have consistent and seamless grooves.
Get going faster when you use our brushes loops as the starting point.
With the main brush beat, dynamics, and feel already established, tweaking them to suit your needs is both seamless and fun. Mute, drag, or change the notes and articulations while preserving the original human elements.
Add a few brush sweeps to spice up the groove at will.
Brushes are regularly used in a wide range of music styles and this collection will give you plenty to work with. Inspiration galore!

They were made for each other and fit like hand and glove.
I personally have not encountered such realistic-sounding brushwork to date in a MIDI-based program. Impressive stuff.
