Without a doubt, Vernal Fournier was the greatest master of the brushes. Unfortunately, there aren't a lot of videos of him (that I know of). But, every student of the brushes should get the Amad Jamal trio albums that Vernal plays on.
I agree, Vernel Fournier is amazing, and one of my biggest inspirations. He does some of his best work with the Ahmad Jamal Trio on the Cross Country Tour 1958-'61 album. The solo he takes on "Cherokee" is an incredible display of musical dexterity, not to mention the beat to "Poinciana" is so catchy I could play it for days!
