Actually,  this video has a few takes in it.
The brushes portion of the video has an end at around 11 minutes or so.
Then the camera switches and he does a stick solo.

I'm a trap set drummer and I have to say that i loved the brushes solo but
the stick solo is a lot less interesting to me (given that he is a 
wonderful drummer).

For my tastes,  his drum palette is somewhat limited because of the hi 
pitches
and relative close tuning of the tom toms.  I know this is idiomatic and 
works
well in jazz, but the brush solo had a lot more variety of sound  and 
contrast.

just my take on it....
