Week 4: Drills

Scratch Overview

This is a great technique to stay in time (or on the beat of the music) while transitioning between scratches.  Drills are fast babies immediately after a pull back, usually to a record release (when you lift your hand off the record).

Scratch Notations: The BOTTOM of the graph (where the blue line begins) is the start of the scratch sample. The TOP of the graph (where the blue line peaks) is the end of the scratch sample. PUSH the record FORWARD from BOTTOM to TOP and PULL the record BACK from TOP to BOTTOM. The distance from LEFT to RIGHT of the graph is the speed of how fast you move the record.
