If you play heavier music but still want to change up your sound now and again, the Rock Rake might be your best bet. Made of thick, stiff nylon bristles, these brushes have the weight and attack to still cut through a live rock band - perfect for ballads. The bristles also retract into the protective plastic casing, making them easy to store.

Besides rock music, these brushes also work very well for alternative sound creation on other instruments like bongos and congas.
