DJ Rock Well Posted July 11, 2017 Share Posted July 11, 2017 I'm not talking about rinsing the same combo for eight bars, but IMO the concept of repetition is important, it provides structure.There's a Qbert vid where he talks about making your scraches "Rhyme", where you repeat the same rhythm every bar or half bar, but with slight variations. Also if you fuck up, you can repeat your fuckup a half-bar later and it looks like you did it on purpose.Well that gif is doing nothing to help with the whole "Westwood's an HIV positive paedo" rumour Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest petesasqwax Posted July 11, 2017 Share Posted July 11, 2017 The fact is: if you are going to derail a thread, it's never wrong if you do it with a Westwood gif. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jeljms Posted July 11, 2017 Share Posted July 11, 2017 Well that gif is doing nothing to help with the whole "Westwood's an HIV positive paedo" rumourSeriously,though, he does look a bit ill these days. He was always slim but now he looks unhealthily skinny. Back to the main thread - The Fresherthans DMC routine for this year is a good example of the whole repetition thing. Obviously they aren't doing it to cover their mistakes though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danswift Posted July 12, 2017 Share Posted July 12, 2017 how long do you think it takes to 'get good'?Oh,its only about 4 to 5 years or so, apparently... then you're allowed to have a massive diva tantrum, fall out with the entire scratch scene and retire !

Guest petesasqwax Posted July 12, 2017 Share Posted July 12, 2017 You're only allowed to retire officially. Behind closed doors you still develop insane shit, strictly whilst sitting on a drum stool 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest petesasqwax Posted July 12, 2017 Share Posted July 12, 2017 It's funny, as much as he taught be how to do open-fader cuts in the space of a cup of coffee, he also subliminally taught me that, if I couldn't cut whilst sitting on a stool, I couldn't cut 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
