DU musicians, can you help me? Question about "Street Fighting Man."

(As recorded by the Stones, in case it's been covered.)

Just a few bars into the song, a brushing sound starts, a rhythmic (of course) brushing sound.

Can anybody tell me what's making that sound? If so, TIA.

1. Sounds like a brush on the snare drum
I'm not a musician, though. :shrug:

2. Could be brush on the snare...brush on the high hat...or, could even be...
the high hat being opened and closed with the foot

It's such a muddy recording I can't tell.

3. Watts played a little traveling drummer's practice kit built into a suitcase...
from the 30s on SFM. It had a little wire holder to which one attached the included cymbal.
It sounds like he is using a brush on that cymbal.
