Hi again, MG

Try this for the brushes:

D 0 - brush swirl
E 0 - brush tap swirl

Use them together. The brush tap swirl should be at least a quarter note or longer, and the brush swirl maybe an eighth note. I would keep the brush tap swirl going and probably use the brush swirl either on the beat or every other beat. It's a little confusing because the brush swirl sounds more like a tap and the brush tap swirl sounds more like a swirl.

The main thing is the velocity. If the brush tap swirl is too loud, it will sound like the chef in the kitchen dropped a stack of metal plates. It has to be loud enough to hear according to the velocity of the rest of the instruments, however. It takes a good bit of playing around with, but it will work. The brush tap and the brush slap notes don't sound too good.

Cheers,
Fred
