The examples in their online store are all super groovy jazzy beats, but I want to use brushes on more highly rhythmic stuff. They've got this "RealSweep" thing -- scratching the brushes across the head -- that I probably wouldn't use. Anybody?

I just dropped an American Rock full song MIDI into the Jazz Brushes kit. Sounded pretty stick-oriented to me.
 
Open AD2, click on the "?" in the upper right corner and then click on Addictive Drums 2 Keymap. You'll see the alternate key mapping for the Brushes kit, and that the Sweeps are an octave below the normal Kick and Snare hits. You'd have to edit the MIDI file and remap the rock snares to the sweep snares, if you want to see what it sounds like.
 
The Jazz Brushes kit does sound great.

I use Jazz Brushes kit for almost half of my songs. The brush is not so much apparent but you can clearly hear there is something different and interesting about the snare. Check one of mine if you like:

A big plus from me! Interchanging the beats with the various kits is the spice and joy of AD. I have brushes and love it! 
 
P.S. I enjoyed your music afrodrum!

Liked! And bookmarked!
 
The transition around 4:20 just hit. Nice! Coincidence? 

Thanks, guys. I don't own the Brush kit and now their half-price promotion is over. I was trying to see what anyone thought before I bought it. I have a couple of brush kits in Session Drummer, which I guess now I'll continue to use until the next AD sale. Maybe next summer?

A pleasure to find out that someone cares. Thanks guys. There are no such things as coincidences.

I bought my Jazz brush kit in 2015, when I spent over $1.2K on synths, plugins and upgrades. Jazz brushes at c. $32 were best single purchase.

I've nagged XLN a few times for hot rods and mallet kit. Would make a nice 'unplugged' pack
 
Shame they didn't add an alternative snare played with brushes to the kit piece options. Would have been really nice.

Finding a brush kit that I felt sounded good and authentically 'brushy' enough for me when used with non-jazz MIDI beats has been a long standing quest for me.  I am also an EZDrummer user and Toontrack recently offered the Nashville EZX expansion for something like $39 so I bought it.   The brush kit in this set sounds the best to me by far no matter what the beat I have applied to it.  It sounds like brushes on the snare and it sounds like brushes on the cymbals.
Normally, I have preferred the sound of the AD drums, but preferred the beats available from EZ Drummer, at least for the music I do.  The ability to shape the sound of the AD drums is nice, and the ability to modify the beats in EZDrummer 2 provides the best of both. However, this Nashville kit has changed that formula for the brush kit.
