Vic Firth DLKS Dreadlocks Drum Brush

Massive sound with the peletes at the end

Very specialised bit of kit. Unless you have some specific use for these, e.g. Jojo Mayer's application, check him out on YouTube demonstrating, I wouldn't recommend buying these on spec. That said I'm very happy with them, still a bit pricey but well made nevertheless

i've always wanted a pair of these since seeing jo jo mayer playing with them.they've been about £40-50 and difficult to findso when i've found them on amazon for £25 i snapped them up! now just have to learn to play like Jo Jo ........

Put the work in

高校時代にマーチングバンドで使用していた影響で、私自身のソロパフォーマンスにしようと思って購入しました。それだけで、叩く楽しさが増えて、パフォーマンスのバリエーションが増えました。ただ、値段がちょっと高すぎるかなと思います。

These added the sound I was missing. Whether these are right for you depends on your ears. These are loud compared to regular brushes. There is a noticeable "Clack" and the "Swish" is also very loud. These fit in with louder bands or styles. Or you can use them on more textured heads like bongos to get another sound out of the drums. I have regular wire brushes from Vater, Cajon brushes from Vater, Live Wires from Vic Firth, and Broomsticks from Pro Mark. These Dreadlocks are on the loudest end of my brush spectrum. They are louder than my live wires, but don't get hung up on my metal percussion pieces like my Engelhart Reco Reco or Meinl Turbo Crasher.
