May I humbly suggest VSL's Jazz Drums? I'm biased, of course, but I really think that it's one of the most underrated Vienna libraries.

EDIT: @Saxer was faster!

I loooove the drums from ProjectSam’s Swing!. Use em all the time!

The EZ Drummer 2 Jazz EZX has a pretty good brush kit. There are midi patterns that include the brush swirl

I love the sound of ProjectSAM Swing! set and use it for most applications but it's not a versatile set. For that I would go for one of Saxers suggestions.

Also if you don't know it https://cinesamples.com/product/session-drummer is one that I use from time to time.

I suggest VSL Jazz Drums or Straight Ahead Brushes and Mallets. Here is a piece where I used the VSL Jazz Drums:



Cheers!

I do not own this brushed drum library so do not have any personal experience with it, but happened to notice that it was on sale for $9 (normally $29) this month so I thought I'd post a link. https://www.karoryfer.com/karoryfer-samples/wydawnictwa/swirly-drums

I hear good things about the VSL kit. For a good affordable option the XLN audio Jazz kits are good and for the seemingly more coveted kits, the Straight ahead samples drum kits get the most love for Jazz. The problem with the EZdrumner kits is the swirls are fairly generic and not customizable. This is especially where the other two I mentioned shine.

 

[Lee Blaske]

The Toontrack stuff is my current go-to for that sort of thing. I use it in Superior Drummer.

Until now I am still confuse thinking AD2 or EZD2 I like the sound of AD2 but I like the easy workflow of EZD2.

Great work! Those flowing lines (and especially in your Slow Emotions piece) are really reminiscent of Brad Mehldau. Love it, I'll have to check out those VSL jazz drums...

Toontrack Roots, brushes, rods SDX

Thanks a lot for all your suggestions. I have a load of drum libs, but never considered the VSL. I bought Swing last year, but never used it. ;-(
The problem is that I need the 3/4 - jazz walz - with brushes and that a bit difficult to find.
Again thank you!

I'm a big fan of the VSL Jazz Drums. Many seem to not be aware of this library.

It does sounds great (usual attention to detail by VSL) but the midi mapping pisses me of because i like to make my own map on the keyboard to play it in real-time.
