Brass instruments can have valves or a slide, but not reeds. Brass instruments create sound by the vibrating of the player's embouchure in a mouthpiece, and the valves and slides on the instrument change the length of the tubing in the instrument which affects the pitch of the notes produced. Reeds are used in woodwind instruments to vibrate to produce a sound instead of using a mouthpiece like in brass instruments.
whatever! I asked this question
Unlike the rest of the brass family, trombones change notes by moving a slide instead of using valves.

Brass players can alter notes in two main ways. One is to press down a valve combination(move the slide on a trombone), the second is to change the embouchure. There are seven different valve combination(with a three valved instrument, the same things apply for the first three valves of a Euphonium and double horn, both of which have four valves). In order from Highest pitch to lowest pitch, they are open, 2nd valve, 1st valve, 1st and 2nd valve, 2nd and 3rd valve, 1st and 3rd valve, and 1st 2nd and 3rd valve. Then to reach other notes you tighten or loosen your your embouchure, it takes practice to figure out how to change pitch this way; however, both ways are required to be able to play any brass instrument. As you learn a brass instrument you should have someone listen to you to see if you are in the correct partial (your embouchure is correct).

Wind instruments are typically made of wood or metal, while brass instruments are made of brass. Wind instruments produce sound by blowing air across a mouthpiece, while brass instruments produce sound by buzzing the lips into a mouthpiece. Playing techniques for wind instruments involve controlling the airflow and fingerings, while brass instruments require embouchure control and valve or slide manipulation.
A slide control. It uses a single slide valve rather than individual smaller valves to change the pitch of the instrument.

Brass instruments are played by pressing the lips together and blowing air to produce a buzzing sound. A mouthpiece projects this sound into the horn, which projects it further. The pitch of the sound can be changed two ways. One is by changing the pitch of the buzz. This will only get you a certain number of notes based on the key of your instrument (harmonic series). The other way is by lengthening your instrument. The longer the lower. On a trombone, it's easy to see. You push out the slide, the pitch goes down. On valve instruments, it's a bit more complicated. Pressing a valve opens a passageway so that the air can take a detour. Pressing a certain valve lowers the pitch a certain amount and you can get all the notes you want with different combinations of valves. On a trombone, it's simply how far you push out the slide.

The best type of valve oil to use for maintaining a tuba is a synthetic oil specifically designed for brass instruments.
I'm no brass instrument, but rotary valves are used for several instruments. French horns all seem to have them. They're pretty common on tubas as well. There are even some rotary valve trumpets out there. I don't know, though, anything about the advantages and/or disadvantages of rotary valves as opposed to the piston valves that seem to be more common for most brass instruments.
