What is the vibrations that create sound in brass instruments come from?
No - there are no reeds at all in what are called the "brass instruments".

The air column amplifies the small movements of air your lips make - as you find out if you stand next to a trumpeter. I used to share a room with a trombonist, and know....! The fact that the instruments are usually made of brass is really neither here nor there in terms of how this "family" works, so it's not really an ideal name for the family.... Instruments in a "silver" band work just the same, but tend to have a slightly sweeter sound.
