Vic Firth Jazz Rake Brushes, Red

The Jazz Rake is a retractable plastic brush that delivers a lighter, drier tone than traditional wire brushes. The nylon bristles create a crisp, articulate sweep on coated heads and a percussive click on cymbals that cuts through in a way wire can't quite match. The retractable design lets you adjust the bristle spread to dial in everything from tight, focused patterns to wide, airy sweeps.

This is a great tool for jazz drummers looking to expand their brush palette beyond standard wire, or for any player who needs brush-like dynamics with a bit more attack and presence. The red plastic handle is easy to spot in a dark stick bag, and the compact design travels well.
