Exactly, just remember to brush the top brim and crown counter-clockwise and the underside of the brim clockwise. ;)

And if you don't have a hat brush, both Todd and Penman sell them ;)

Yeah, I clean my dusty AB by giving it the fish-slapping dance treatment.

Honestly, just get a large horsehair shoe brush from your local cobbler. That's what I use. Mine only cost me 5 bucks and it works just fine. ;)
