What's that brush-like drumstick thing called???

A question for people who know more about music than me (i.e. everyone on the planet, all animal species included):

That brush-like drumstick, used especially in jazz, does it have a more specific name? I need its name for a poem I'm writing.

Thanks,

Andy

You'll kick yourself when you hear this: It is actually called a brush.

Hope that help.

Or the brush, as that is what it is called.
