I don't recall where it was that I saw or heard it, but I recall Charlie Watts talking about the same subject, and it led me to try it out.

I don't always play brushes without snares, but do sometimes.

Thanks for the link.

A lot of the jazz guys I have seen play brushes without the snares on. They also play brushes, ballads especially, without using the hi-hat for time at all. That kinda screws me up.
This is the guy (Jon Hazilla) who I first saw talk about playing brushes without the snares on. Here's a good example with him playing with a trio:

Great brush work, David. I'll just go back home now.

The job of musician, as I understand it, is to be aware of sound - which means, among other things, not being lulled into action without consideration. I often catch my hihat 'chik' being too loud and obtrusive, but I never notice that until I've forced myself to relax and to start listening critically to all components in the mix. My left foot seems to be the last soldier still fighting the rock wars.

:) You forgot the part about dying your hair, doing lots of drugs, and frequenting tattoo parlors!

That's it, man! Admitting your addiction is the first sign of recovery! ;) I'm still a recovering hi-hat rocker too!

No wonder my career stalled. I never even got the earring.

I really like the subtle nature of a brushed snare with the wires disengaged.
On a similar note: I tour with not only a kit, but also a 12" Remo Djembe that I play with a combo of either one hand & a brush or two brushes for a 'portable drum set' with the band. Sounds amazing and I can load in with one trip, play standing up or running around. Fun!
