different brand wont have any issue normally,
what matters is the speed frequency
on top of that, mixing different kit is pretty much not suggested
80% chance it will success, 20% chance it will fail (no POST)
the safest way is to get a single kit of 32gb (may it be 2x16 or 4x8gb), but you can try it anyway

This use to not be a big deal but now with DDR4 the fail rate is much higher, I would avoid the headache and $$$ of a failed attempt. You better off with just sticking with the same brand and avoid the possible random BSOD's this can cause along with the possible side effects of having all your RAM down clocked.
