solidrocketbooster Posted February 10, 2013 Share Posted February 10, 2013 Hi there I'm looking for tutorials getting scratches done on 3/4 time signature beats. Beats like the one on black market snuff breaks side b track 4. For example how to play a swing flare or any other 4 sound technique on it? Thanks in advance!

d00ban Posted February 10, 2013 Share Posted February 10, 2013 Don't really know of any myself. What's to stop you doing a swing flare over a 3/4 beat though? It'd be the equivalent of doing a lucky seven over a 4/4 kind of I guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ericuk Posted February 10, 2013 Share Posted February 10, 2013 any techniques that have 3 or 6 sounds will lend themselves well to 3/4 timing. og flareprismsboomerang2 click flare patterns Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Symatic Posted February 10, 2013 Share Posted February 10, 2013 or you can count a 4/4 beat out in your head in time with the 3/4 beat and do a polyrhythm 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Symatic Posted February 11, 2013 Share Posted February 11, 2013 did anyone enter the non-4/4 scratch battle? was there one? am i mental? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
savwar Posted February 11, 2013 Share Posted February 11, 2013 that black market snuff beat is 6/8 not 3/4thats probably the first thing to know if you are concentrating on trying to scratch over different time signatures, know how to count it properly. easiest way to figure it out or to feel/count it is... 3/4 is, count: 1 and 2 and 3 and 1 and 2 and 3 and 6/8 is, count: 1, 2, 3, and, 2, 3 (in the black market snuff beats the snare his on the "and") 6/8 tends to have a triplet swing.. as its 6 (2x3) quavers , where as 3/4 is 3 crotchets...you kinda can count them the same, but the accent should be different and further to this a 12/8 is like 4 triplets.. as its 4 sets of 3 12/8: 1 and a 2 and a 3 and a 4 and a.... 1 and a.... etc....

solidrocketbooster Posted February 11, 2013 Author Share Posted February 11, 2013 Thanks for your reply! I did not know it is in 6/8. Will practice in counting properly. Think for now I'll use the west side story "america" track to understand the 3/4 6/8 difference. that black market snuff beat is 6/8 not 3/4thats probably the first thing to know if you are concentrating on trying to scratch over different time signatures, know how to count it properly. easiest way to figure it out or to feel/count it is... 3/4 is, count: 1 and 2 and 3 and 1 and 2 and 3 and 6/8 is, count: 1, 2, 3, and, 2, 3 (in the black market snuff beats the snare his on the "and") 6/8 tends to have a triplet swing.. as its 6 (2x3) quavers , where as 3/4 is 3 crotchets...you kinda can count them the same, but the accent should be different and further to this a 12/8 is like 4 triplets.. as its 4 sets of 3 12/8: 1 and a 2 and a 3 and a 4 and a.... 1 and a.... etc....

Guest Symatic Posted February 17, 2013 Share Posted February 17, 2013 to explain what i meant by polyrhythm - at 2:11 im scratching as if it was a 4/4 beat but it still syncs with the triplet-y beat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chile Posted March 21, 2013 Share Posted March 21, 2013 never really had a problem with 3/4 since its not that huge a step away from 4/4.. just practice innit.. i guess for fitting scratches with four sounds you could start off doing them slow with 2 beats of silence to seperate them then work on your phrasing from there.
