I own a pair of these brushes (Probably an older style of this version) that have lasted over 15 years. Pro-Mark brushes are the standard, in my opinion, when it comes to drum brushes. What’s cool is the telescopic handle protects the wires when putting them in your stick bag. Just bring the brushes back inside with one smooth motion. I normally play with one brush fully extended for sweeping and the other brush brought in a little bit, which gives a slightly stiffer brush, for accenting and rim bouncing. A very versatile brush. The metal rings at the end of the telescopic handle are perfect for pinging and scraping the cymbal when needed. I usually keep a set of Pro-Mark Telescopic Brushes and hybrid brush/stick brushes in my jazz stick arsenal.
