Scratch Overview
The Rockit scratch is a funkier variation of the Military scratch made famous by Grandmixer DXT on Herbie Hancock’s track “Rockit”. Done with the classic “Fresh” scratch sample, this is more of a structured rhythm of stabs, forwards, chirps and babies. The way DXT is able to repeat the pattern with ease inspired many young DJs to become the legends they are today.
