Brushes Ballad Swing Drum Beat
A gentle brushes ballad feel, where the left-hand brush sweeps a smooth legato circle on the snare on every beat while the right hand taps the swung ride pattern. The foot hi-hat keeps soft time on 2 and 4. This is the quiet, intimate texture for jazz ballads and slow standards.
