I only have two channels that are my GO TO's, and this is absolutely one of them. So simply explained, and concise. Adding the boomerang to my repertoire. THANK YOU.

[@studioscratches]

Wow thank you, honoured! Appreciate you watching and taking the time to share. Onward!

[@1luvzp]

Best explanation I've seen of this scratch.

[@buddafingaz7516]

Great video, thank you DJ Shortee

[@jgirling6890]

I'm so glad you break it down instead of just showing off how well you can do it like some youtubers then have the cheek to put tutorial lol

[@studioscratches]

Thanks, I do my best because I struggled to learn!

[@djpresto1]

Brilliant breakdown!

[@corprinus]

I swear, your scratches sound cleaner than anyone else's I've seen on youtube!! It must be your natural style or something, but I hope you post up some more tutorials, I've had a great time learning from you!!

[@maccagrabme]

@studioscratches I remember learning the transform back in 1986 when djs were scratching(!) their heads as to how it was achieved. I worked it out myself by trial and error but gave up the decks in 1990 after I thought that the transform was the pinnacle of scratches and I was getting bored with it all! I'm having a bit of fun with it all again as there seem to be quite a few new techniques and it is as addictive as ever! I think the boomberang scratch is possibly around 2000-2007 maybe.

[@frankcastle9287]

Esteemed DJ Short-e! I have been workin'on BoomerangS ever since the semester got out! They are comin'! I have a hard time gettin'that 2nd click on the last triplet w.consistency! Slow, but sure! Your Scratch Tutorials are über-articulate and super-friendly to the beginning DJ. I have learned sooo much from You an'have put it into Practice. Real Practice! ;-) much Love an'Peace be unto You, Em!

[@dharmkhalsa5121]

Love this scratch!! U are awesome!

[@themiddlepath8939]

Short-e you so fly!! I love yer beats and scratch

[@studioscratches]

thanks so much!

[@TheSponge33]

This an awesome demo for someone who like me didn’t know how to scratch.

[@djcityboyrockwell]

I have been a hamster dj since I started back in 1990 (set my stuff up wrong like most others did) glad to see someone else offering up tutorials other than q-bert (not denying his dopeness y'all) after watching countless boomerang tutorials, I was able to teach myself this in a few minutes, I had the first part, but the reverse was tough to understand a bit...I got the rhythm now, just need to bring my speed up, nice break down and explanation, thank you!

[@arturommk]

THANKS FOR SHARE INTERMEDIATE AND ADVANCED SCRATCH TECHNICS. ARE VERY HELFULL FOR ME. :D

[@BendApparatus]

Weird, I was unaware this scratch had a name AND was considered a technique. I always called it my lazy scratch, something I did when I was too stoned to bother keeping a true controlled technique...no lie!

[@barrywatts803]

Your funny! Yeah and I can do all these scratches when I was born!!!

[@buster19811]

i'm happy with that to be honest, i've been practising for a couple of months and taught my left hand to actually move the record and the mixer was holding me back from getting any better (excuse) but if i go off hammering it this year at least i can tell myself it's possible to get to a reasonable standard, i'll be happy with mastering a few of the scratches but i'm a long long way from getting the whole game mastered, thanks for your feedback by the way it's going to help me.

[@RonaldRaiden]

Love this scratch... Hampster style nice

[@frankcastle9287]

I switched over years ago! Never went back!

[@ragz]

thanks for making this trying to learn this. found this to be the best tutorial for it.

[@studioscratches]

Thanks for watching!

[@ardzieyrj5667]

Best tutorial for dj's that scratch "reverse" (hamster) style.

[@goldenJibaku]

Super vidéo

[@d600mikey]

hi, nice videos thank you they are very helpful, got two questions pleaase, im attempting to start scratching and going for the left hand on record and right on crossfader but im right handed and my left hand is slightly spastic so should i try the other way round? and whatsup with your crossfader why is it the wrong way round is that just preference? thanks!

[@Mauricejonesdrew3213]

Would you be able to post a video of the many cuts and scratches you know? I was wondering if i could use them, to try and incorporate them into some songs that i am trying to write. Not like anything specific just acappella scratches that i would be able to cut and put into riffs and stuff. I am not really a dj or anything and finding sample and sfx are harder than i thought.

[@workunion76]

Short-e, please do an aquaman scratch tutorial!! Your videos are the best and most inspiring to all of us trying to learn this art.

[@studioscratches]

Thanks Sergio, it's almost the same scratch but with a pause in the middle and starting later in the pattern at an open fader part. All my current new tutorials are inside my www.schoolofscratch.com and it's on the list of upcoming tutorials in there. Thanks for watching and glad you are learning!

[@dee-jayashleeboi4935]

where can i get vinyl from with scratch samples on cheers really helpful videos :)

[@slashzOrrr]

IMO you got the best tut's out there on youtube :)

[@Davinyl]

thats a cool beat wheres it from?

[@hassaniborrice3487]

i am a new dj in calgary and learning through your video's but things are a little hard. i played on the ddj s1, and now i am on the 850 cdj's. am starting with the boomerang. i would appreciate if you could get me some info on what equipment to buy, plus i would like to thank you for your tutorials. they are helping me. dj recklezz

[@hassaniborrice3487]

well let the info poor in i can send u a few of my sessions that i have played. soca and reggae are the genre's i indulge in. hip hop or old school is another quest i would love to conquer. thanks for answering my question and taking the time to explain. as far as purchasing equipment if u were into cdj's could u recommend a pair or a mixer, the rane is a expensive but am sure u need the best to become the best.

[@feixar]

Where do I order such a scratch record with all the stabs and samples?

[@mrksbrtzs7183]

Thank u very much..

[@amadeusg9546]

Great! Thanks for that one :-)

[@mrksbrtzs7183]

hey..i saw your tutorials and i like it...I love Djaying and scratch a lot and i want to buy turntables but in my villagei dont know where i can find vynil disks..Can i play and scratch muzic from my laptop to my turntables ???and how does it cost 2 decks and 1 mixer??please answer soon i need your help...

[@buddafingaz9403]

Awesome DJ Shortee, great explanation of this skratch, this is alot easier than I thought it was, no shit.... Ive been working on my chirps, & transformers, & also my crabs, as well. This just makes things more interesting, cause ive also been practicing my 1 click flare combo, & two click flare combo's. So, now I can throw some Boomerangs into the mix, & see how it goes with the session now..... 👍👊💪🙏😎

[@studioscratches]

let's go!

[@headscarmusic]

Hey short e do u hav ur turntables switched around bcoz when u use ur fader it seems like u do, plz reply

[@brianwarner308]

what scratch should i learn after the Boomerang??

[@ExtremelyInept]

Finally getting the speed up with this now - do you feel more like you're clicking the fader closed once you get going faster or is it just me losing track of the pattern?!

[@pavimentosporco09]

Fantastic Very Gooood teacher!!!!!!! :D Thanksss!!

[@buster19811]

Thanks, just one last question, how long did it take you to get to a reasonable standard of being able to scratch.

[@hassaniborrice3487]

i was offered the opportunity at first to play on cdj's and declined. moving at my own pace i ahd now gotten familiar with the 850's in another month or so i will attempt to try vinyl, however i do respect this craft and realize with vinyl you are serious. thus, i have never really thought of vinyl yet. can you preform the same scratches on cdj's?

[@chavezm300]

Do you normally turn down the bass on the sample when scratching?

[@DjMixxtress1]

Thanks Short-e! I like this tutorial way better than Q-Berts. You actually go slow enough for me to see what you're doing. Thanks again!! :)

[@studioscratches]

Thanks for the kind words. It always took me ages to learn scratches, thats why I like to go slow and deliberate. Keep practicing :D

[@themiddlepath8939]

Yeah. I saw Qs. He is a god but not a teacher. He cant explain with he does, he just does it. lol

[@djbnice1]

I have a dj buddy who was Hamster scratching in 90-91' .

[@mistadexter]

@Deltani007.Reverse the fader setting.

[@buster19811]

just getting started i want to give myself no excuses by having the right basic tools, can anyone what the best slip mat for scratching is?

[@NastyRhythm]

I found this easier to learn after learning the swing flare for some reason lol. the fader movements/finger rhythm is similar.

[@studioscratches]

It has some similarities for sure!

[@Maftiosi]

How long do you have to practice till you're able to do the scratch at that speed?

[@PhilosBias2000]

r u doing that in reverse or regular way...and it seems most great dj's use hamster ..but why? is it easier to do most patterns hampster..and i dont mean easier to learn but easier once you've got it down to switch from scratch to scratch with hampster?

[@MajorTriadz]

I CAN'T SEEM TO GET OUT MY HEAD AROUND STARTING WITH FADER OPEN . CAN U CRAB WITH FADER STARTING IN CLOSED ?

[@markbonnell5548]

I'm trying to get this scratch down, really finding it difficult to swing it. Great Vid though, couldn't Even begin this one without it.

[@pacohuerta5575]

When you're breaking this scratch down really slowly, I notice that you let go of the record at the beginning of the scratch to get that first "ahh" sound, but when you are doing it really fast, it seems like you don't let go of the record at all. When I was practicing this, I found it much easier to do this scratch fast if I don't let go of the record every time I restart the scratch. Is it ok to do that? Thank you very much for your videos! I've gotten so much better thanks to you!

[@studioscratches]

Yes that's it! thanks for watching!

[@xximmortal1xx]

is it more difficult if you don't reverse your fader??

[@chefk.tremblay1928]

Basically it's a swing flare with one less forward

[@djabozzo4503]

goood 👍

[@PhilosBias2000]

ARE YOU DEMO THIS IN HAMPSTER STYLE ARE REG?

[@damagegadget]

My boy Deus Scratches hamster too, definitely gives two different sounds on scratches

[@guidowork]

to a degree but i think there is a distinct difference in sound between someone that scratches normal compared to someone that scratches reversed, imo. i also think there is a difference in sound when using your left and right hand

[@doubledoubledi]

what mixer is?

[@robertegyiri5919]

wow Dj TONGE

[@chickenzwings]

Got it dowwwn :)

[@PhilosBias2000]

is the fader reversed or normal??? Thanks

[@studioscratches]

It most certainly is reversed, see this video and article for a full explanation: @hamster-reverse-vs-regular-scratching/

[@LinxAudio]

@studioscratches Shorty...props for the vid, but post a tutorial for those that don't scratch hamster

[@shortroundChris]

I can only do this scratch double time. I wanna go triple time or 16ths. fader just seems too stiff and I do regular fader hand. I hear if I was doing hamster it would be easier

[@studioscratches]

Hi, hamster is not really easier. It's just different. What equipment are you using? The key to all speed is to go very slowly and gradually build up.

[@studioscratches]

My crossfader is reversed in this tutorial. For more info see: kzbin.info/www/bejne/pHSZZYmAfKp1ea8 and check out my online School of Scratch schoolofscratch.com for my newest in-depth scratch tutorials and online course / practice program - Emma

[@epillnero]

LEFTYYYYYYY!!!!!

[@BryceKalela]

Can i have a link to the scratch sample?

[@studioscratches]

Bryce studioscratches.bandcamp.com/album/digital-skipless-scratch-record-33

[@Kike88]

scratch effect download please scratch

[@guidowork]

all closed fader scratches are easier with the fader normal not hamster. initiating with your index finger is easier than your thumb imo

[@khalilal-khayr322]

what's the name of the beat in the back

[@studioscratches]

+Khalil Al-khayr YO! studioscratches.bandcamp.com/track/cheeky-chops

[@Deltani007]

I cant understand one thing.When the crossfader is on the left side how can we hear the song playing on the right side ?? :S

[@studioscratches]

Hello the crossfader is reversed / hamster style. Please see this video for an explanation: www.studioscratches.com/hamster-reverse-vs-regular-scratching/

[@Deltani007]

***** And one basic question! We only use vocal samples for the scratching? Because it is easier for me to get the desired sounds...Not alwayes but easier than scratching anything else..

[@studioscratches]

Usually vocal samples, or "ahhh" or "fresh"

[@iladelph89]

@studioscratches I skratch hamster too

[@M3_86]

Glad I dont need to translate normal to hamster on these vids lol

[@studioscratches]

lucky hamster!

[@say1054]

what was that 4:27 scrath?

[@studioscratches]

boomerang!

[@eileentann3948]

BOOMERBANGBANG!!

[@MaxSteddy]

Damn, I don't understand English well, the subtitle option doesn't work, thank you for your work, peace.

[@MajorTriadz]

CAN *YOU* CRAB WHEN NOT IN HAMSTER ?

[@djlink111]

seems prone to some accidental flare scratches :D

[@djlink111]

Like the one you busted at 5:13

[@djlink111]

djlink111 good shit though, imma have to try this one

[@agenttuna]

you should get a better table so that you can keep the dancefloor shakin, n not yer gear

[@vindiesel2997]

The main thing I don't like about these videos is that it looks like you using the crossfader in reverse wtf

[@studioscratches]

+vincent henley Hey vincent. Here is some more info on the subject of what's going on and why: www.studioscratches.com/hamster-reverse-vs-regular-scratching/ It is still possible to learn with my if you scratch regular, I recommend thinking about the scratches in terms of open and closed fader. This is quite an advanced scratch. Let me know if I can help further. Thanks for watching.

[@sickdion]

Nice but I've been doing that in 89. 1200HOBOS in the house!!👍👍👍

[@studioscratches]
