Brushworks

Called “genius” by legendary drummer Max Roach, Clayton Cameron has compiled, written and illustrated the most comprehensive material on the subject of playing brushes ever devised. Brushworks is the first publication ever to develop a system of notation for brushstrokes and brush-effects that stays within the traditional system and is easy to comprehend.
This special edition combines all the elements from the successful book Brushworks (Book/Audio) with it’s namesake Video content to give players of all levels the opportunity to form not only an aural connection to the materials in the book, but also to see every stroke and technique while bringing the concepts to life.
Everything someone would need to master the art of brushes is included right here.
Highlights include:
• Teaching of brush technique in a progressive step-by-step process
• Detailed illustrations, beat-by-beat of brush movement
• Supplemental audio containing the sounds and patterns in the book recorded by Clayton Cameron
• Supplemental video clearly describing and demonstrating all the strokes and techniques (2007 Modern Drummer Magazine Poll Winner)
• Over 20 transcriptions of brush playing by the master drummers of our time
• Exercises to help you achieve mastery of the art of brushes
Clayton Cameron has performed, recorded or toured behind such great artists as Frank Sinatra, Tony Bennett, Sammy Davis Jr., Ray Charles, Billy Joel, Stevie Wonder, B.B. King, Sheryl Crow, Joe Williams, Christina Aguilera and KD Lang to name a few.
