Learn To DJ Tutorial: How to Perform the Original Flare Scratch (DJ Throdown)

Happy Holidays! Happy New Year! from your DJ friends at Beat Refinery!
This is our final episode of 2015 for our #LearnToDJ video series. We have DMC 2015 Washington Champion and Beat Refinery instructor DJ Throdown back on the teaching side with another scratch tutorial. Having trouble going through the motions on how to do a 1 click flare orbit or even a 2 click flare orbit? Learning how to do the original flare (or some would say the tear flare) could help out perfect your muscle memory on your fader hand as well as having your record hand get used to other movements than the regular baby scratch movement.

Excellent man, hope this channel comes back to uploading again, don't know why they stopped making videos

[@barrywatts8501]

New skratchers watch this and learn it. It really helped me get the two click down! This is the easiest way to learn. Great teacher. Props throdown

[@LynnSagar]

Throdown! Best and clearest explanation for a simple move I've seen. Really good job, thank you.

[@albundy06]

Nope. That's the original flare. kzbin.info/www/bejne/fILdgWpmrbKriZY

[@jstone9462]

bro great video. ive been watching so many on the flare and this is the best yet

[@onkelhiphop]

I’m old-school dj and I really wanna learn I keep on trying but I don’t seem to get the hang of it I will keep on practice thank you so much

[@Shootinglefty]

Thank you! Great to focus on original basics. I appreciate it.

[@SPAKBABBATH]

that's a great tutorial homie. Cheers

[@Jedi_Jonson]

thanks for the very helpful info bruh you guys always break it down in the best way.

[@tay-basswalker3964]

Bruh you smoked it at the end!! 👏👏

[@TheToonomads]

Nicely done professor! Saw this dude at NAMM. He tore it up! Super nice dude, great teacher. Thanks for the lesson. #learntodj

[@buddafingaz9403]

Thanks man, I've been learning the 1-Click Flare, & been working on my 2-Click Flare. Ive figured out the 1-Click Flare so far, & can do them decently now, and the 2 Click Flare I gotta really do it slowly, or I'll fuk it up, but, but I like how this Original Flare technique is expalined by you, with the hand movements mimicking the fader movements!.... Thanx bro, your awesome...... 👍👌💪🙏😎🔥💯🐺.... Respex, Big Upz, & Mad Love to the Skratch DJ's........

[@TruLight-Sujato-Damita]

My manz👊🏽

[@DJ_CHELL]

This is OG Flare reverse!!!!!....

[@abstyle4566]

He for the first one is normal For the one with beat is reverse 👍

[@rohanno]

That's what I thought but figured I was doing it backwards lol

[@lofihiphop1314]

I LIKE THIS GUY

[@itz_pulz8076]

My mind is blown

[@jgirling6890]

I'm practising this on cdjs, i need more room on the platter lol

[@riccardoghelli4076]

keep it up ;)

[@stopnotplayin]

Dj I Threw It On The Ground

[@showcases1]

Are you only doing the OG flare at the end or you mix shirp and flare and OG flare ?

[@leohappy146]

Can you share the beat 3:50, thank you very much

[@gurodj]

This ain't the original flare, its reversed, and the OG flare doesn't have "Tears"(small pause in the middle of the sample), you should to do without this small pause. But anyway, it's a good scratch to learn.

[@lindsaymaria2876]

Agreed. Other than that a well done lesson.

[@rollingstart_90s]

There is no tear in Flare. It's just simply moving the record forward and then backwards in same tempo. 1 click flare = you perform one click one the way forward and 1 click on the way back.

[@PickpocketJones]

Isn't that a flare orbit? A single flare is a single record movement chopped by the fader, doing it on reverse record movement makes it an orbit, right?

[@themrschantz]

Why does both of your turntables have a sticker with a barcode on them?

[@dieksonkie2890]

song title?

[@euhynual2098]

Graffiti flare, dj flare, breaking flare

[@albundy06]

LOL. I'm going to make a scratch tutorial for a all time classic scratch like the original transformer. But instead of doing that scratch, I'll do a boomerang instead! Because apparently scratches names don't mean anything. Even better. I'll skip scratching altogether and backspin and call that the original transformer!

[@djvientiane]

Hi, what effect did u use at the end at 4'30. Regards

[@UltraNyan]

High pass filter

[@jerbear6947]

So since this is not the original flare. What is it that has a tear? It sounds good tho.

[@lindsaymaria2876]

Dynamix has a beat junkies - home room tutorial where he concentrates on that scratch but doesn’t name it either. I love it and is now one of my natural ‘fall back on’ scratches.

[@uncomn]

not the same definition as qberts OG flare....

[@BIGSABMUSIC]

the first flare way is hard for me and the second flare way is easy!

[@alexandermoon7218]

SABOTAAGEBEATZ I can do the other flares,but this shit got me confused

[@AnxiousCowboy]

im hard for you

[@rudyrue07]

does anyone know the name of that instrumental he played?

[@nntblst]

+RUDY G comes in one of the super duck breaks by babu.

[@rudyrue07]

+oticowgirl thank you!

[@djp4cm4n91]

I have never used turntables before, I use a Numark NV. I have been practicing and am much better with the fader than before but have trouble with the jog wheels at times. In your opion, should I get a turntable to pratice scratching?

[@WickedWaiata]

Buy a Numark PT01 ... then if you're happy ... go to a more expensive Turntable bro! Cheap investment for a PT01 and gives you options to practice anywhere without the need for power!

[@djgman00]

I thought you said you were going to start slow? lol

[@danieldormer5238]

I know that handsome gent. Moar Dr Ross please.

[@YoungNino2017]

not the original flare

[@juvailpecson6235]

It sound like a two click flare

[@argoGR]

i think that he is presise with his movement but.... he is not gentle enough, because i can see the stylus jumping around... So thats the problem with relative mode... i want to see if with a real vinyl

[@argoGR]

Dont ge tme wrong i admire, but i am considering to learn it with absulute mode or with a real vinyl so my hand would learn to be gentle with the record

[@jerbear6947]

It does jump around for sure.

[@barrywatts8501]

Yeah. I'm only old school just because iv got three kids and no money lol! This I'd so hard to learn. That touch you need to get off and back on the record gently. I have problems with this. My drops I can't do fast as lifting off and back on quickly is a real mega skill. I guess it comes with years of practise.

[@KrasavkinRomanE]

🤔🧚‍♂️😉🕺💃🏼👍🥰✌🏻💪🏻

[@barrywatts8501]

My two click flares are sharper and a bit faster.

[@AcidTechnoMan5000]

Beginners. GO SLOW

[@AcidTechnoMan5000]

That’s starting slow? WTF dude
