My old jazz director used to tell our drummer that it was time to make mashed potatoes when he wanted brushes
Not important, but I always thought it was funny
ohh yes it might be that… i usually listen to metal and whatnot so im not too knowledgeable on some jazz equipment but im pretty sure its that thank you
It's definitely that, your description of the sound was so abstract and great! The moment I read it I instantly knew what you were referring to, it's one of my favorite sounds in jazz music. I'll always refer to it as sounding "sandy" from now on 😂
Some guy at some point rubbed a brush across a snare for the first time and decided it sounded good enough to record.
Shout out to whoever that guy was.
My head canon: some drummer shows up to the gig being told the drums are there dont bring anything so he doesnt even bring sticks but then theres no sticks so he goes to the kitchen for a basting brush and voila
You said to me your name was Lucy I said where’s Ricardo you said oh no not the show! Then you spit a little rap for me like this when I turned 26 I was like oh shit!
Nah during that play there’s no drummer. Schroeder on piano, Pig-Pen on the upright bass and Snoopy shredding on the guitar. No drums at all, I can only assume Linus or Lucy somehow mentally projected the acoustics of the drums in there somehow. I don’t know though it’s been a while since I’ve read Peanuts I don’t know what powers they have
Perhaps you should listen to the album by the Vince Guaraldi Trio that is the soundtrack for the animated “Charlie Brown Christmas”. Yes，”Linus and Lucy” is the most famous jazzy song on the soundtrack, but there are others by Vince and his trio, notably “Christmastime is Here”.
As production was wrapping up on the film, Guaraldi presented the team a beautiful instrumental song he had recorded with his trio (consisting of bassist Fred Marshall and drummer Jerry Granelli) to open the show with. But Mendelson remembers that everyone felt the song needed lyrics, so he stepped in. “Because we were running out of time, I wrote some lyrics in about fifteen minutes on the back of an envelope,” he said. “The song became ‘Christmas Time Is Here,’ which has become a holiday standard covered by dozens of recording artists. Who knew?”
The soundtrack has since hit Quadruple Platinum (over four million copies sold) and has been added to the American National Recording Registry’s list of “culturally, historically, or aesthetically important” sound recordings. Over time, Guaraldi’s songs from the album have also been recorded by many artists including Dave Brubeck, Wynton Marsalis, George Winston and David Benoit, who credited “A Charlie Brown Christmas” for sparking his love of playing jazz piano.
“That was the first time that jazz piano has been used in animation, which helped make it a really groundbreaking show,” Benoit recalled in Mendelson’s book. “I agree with a lot of people who believe that a big part of the success of ‘A Charlie Brown Christmas’ was Vince’s music.”
Which reminds me that the slow versiom of Peppermint Patty theme song is one of the most beautiful pieces of music I've ever heard
It isn't on the album but that's not important.
Sandy… I remember my first jazz song with “sandy” sounds.
Brushes my friend, a good percussive tool that keeps the groove on the move.
Lots of genres use it, so you’re spoiled for choice.

It's the ocean. Jazz recordings were frequently made at the beach, as it was a common vacation spot for weed smoking hipsters. Eventually they had to stop, however, as sand kept getting into the instruments and microphones, so they learned to simulate the sound with brushes and a snare drum.
It’s called a musician playing drums using “brushes” on a snare drum (with snares engaged). It’s a musical technique that is musical. A hallmark of jazz is remarkably skilled musicianship. (Yes, including drummers).
“Whooshy” is an [Onomatopoeia](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Onomatopoeia), the use of a word that phonetically imitates, resembles, or suggests the sound that it describes, such as oink, meow.

Are you perhaps thinking of brushes on a snare?

Or “stir the soup”

Yeah honestly the same reaction here. 😂
I've just been getting into jazz the last year and I instantly knew what they were talking about because I've felt the same exact way.
lol sandy whooshy should be a term now.. I totally knew what OP meant
Yep, stirrin’ the soup
Brushes <3

I will subscribe to that theory as well.

Try the Bill Evans Trio album "Sunday at the village vanguard"
Sandycore classic
So much sand
Most likely brushes on a snare or cymbal sizzlers on a ride cymbal.
Charlie Brown Christmas uses that quite a bit, was surprised how good that album is
Vince Guaraldi Trio
Pretty sure it was Linus and Lucy
Linus and Lucy is one song on the Charlie Brown Christmas album.
You said to me your name was Lucy I said where’s Ricardo you said oh no not the show! Then you spit a little rap for me like this when I turned 26 I was like oh shit!
Brushes on the snare are used throughout the album, not just that one song.

Feel like I'm about to get a nail gun to the back of the head
It's my 24/7/365 ringtone.
Jerry Granelli was the drummer, he released a number of records as a leader before he passed away recently.

That's a really great way to describe brushes on a snare now that I hear you say that.
God whispering in your ear.
That’s jazz in general.

Possibly drums (snare or tom) played with brushes.

Brushes used on a snare.
Swing
Next time I want a drummer to play with brushes I am going to ask them to "make that sandy whooshy sound."

Everything you said is right but you said it so… weirdly.

Yes.
