Steve Weiss Music is proud to present master drummer and educator Steve Fidyk performing “Brush Taps” by Louie Bellson and Mark Taylor, recorded at our in-house studio in Willow Grove, PA.
A longtime member of the United States Army Blues Big Band, Steve Fidyk is widely recognized for his exceptional brush technique and deep understanding of jazz big band drumming styles. In this performance, he brings clarity, precision, and musicality to “Brush Taps,” showcasing the subtle control and dynamic expression that define his playing.
In this video, Steve performs with the Vater Beantown Brush, a wire brush designed for a rich, full sound while offering exceptional sensitivity and control. Its balanced response and refined feel allow for a wide range of expression, giving players the nuance and touch of a classic brush.
Whether you're a drummer looking to refine your brushwork or a fan of classic big band repertoire, this performance offers both inspiration and insight from one of the most respected voices in jazz drumming education.
Steve Fidyk uses Mapex Drums, DW Hardware, Zildjian Cymbals, Remo Drumheads, and Vater Drumsticks.
