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.

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.
