Drum parts with brushes?

[Grace :)]

Hi all,

I've started using brushes a lot recently in one of my bands for a number of reasons and I'm wondering if anyone knows of any songs or recordings of drummers using brushes on non-jazz songs?
I can think of plenty of jazz recordings and also have the art of playing with brushes DVD which is great, but I'm hoping to find some inspiration on how to apply the techniques to other genres!

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated

Thanks Northern Redneck & comet - great suggestions!! Have added all of them to my iTunes.

On the off chance that anyone else searches for this in the future here are a couple more I've managed to find:
Stars Die - Porcupine Tree
Up from the Skies - Jimi Hendrix
Spell / Carry Me / Babe, You Turn Me On / Messiah Ward - Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds
Once Around the Block / Something to Talk About - Badly Drawn Boy

Thanks slinglander & xweasel! Will give those tracks a listen this evening, I can't believe I didn't think of the muse one!

A lot of rockabilly cats were/are using brushes to get the right sound....
first example that came to my head is Be bop a lula by Gene Vincent....

Currently I'm covering this with a female vocalist and it sounds great. The brush part is very simple, yet sets the mood of the tune.
