Welcome to episode 7 of my DJcity “Scratch Combo of the Month”.
This month we use some fast babies, twiddle style 2 click flares, transforms over drags and a crab to level up our combo to a new level. Take your time with this one.
Learning the individual scratches that make up this combo first will definitely help. If you need help with that I recommend diving into my School of Scratch.
Have fun with it!
Breakdown
Part 1
- Baby
- Twiddle style 2 click flare, ending with the fader closed = 3 sounds
- 2 transforms over a reverse drag
- Forward dice or a forward
- Reverse drag
Part 2
- Baby
- Twiddle style 2 click flare, ending with the fader closed = 3 sounds
- 2 transforms over a reverse drag
- PAUSE
Part 3
- Forward dice or a forward
- Reverse drag
- Crab forward to make 3 or 4 sounds
- End with 2 transforms forward
We are back at the start of the whole pattern and repeat it. At this point I sometimes do a forward scratch then a reverse dice BEFORE I start the main pattern as a way to introduce it and line myself up with the sample.
NOTE: Sometimes the crab ends up being 3 sounds. Do whatever you want! I refer to forward dices and these look more like just a normal forward, taking your hand off the record.
