So I decided to take a scratch class with DJ Vekked, whom is a multiple time DMC World DJ champion. I learned a lot from my first session with him. In particular he showed me how important pitch was when scratching. You can ask 5 different DJs to do a chirp scratch repeatedly and if they all use different pitches it will sound different from each one of them. I would try to change up the pitch of my scratching but I’m more focused on it now. I’m drilling doing pitch changes on the scratches I know how to do and I’m already seeing better results in the sounds of my scratches. A lot of DJs don’t scratch right now because they don’t want to put the effort it takes into becoming proficient at it. You have to do the boring monotonous drills as well as the fun freestyling. I would suggest to any Dj that they give scratching a try though. You will never master it and there’s always something new to learn. Have a great rest of the week!
