I am 53 and grew up with MTV. Thrash was my thing in the 80’s and MTV was the sh*t back then. Then Rap and Hip Hop took over MTV and I was very angry. Hated that music. I always said any knucklehead could scratch. Well, I’ve been through so many types of instruments, guitar for years, then and still Electronic stuff, drum machines, etc… Then I came across this DJ Sara video on Youtube. I have to be very careful about what I expose myself to. If I get to close, I get bit. Well this video got me and now I’m a scratcher, LOL.
But the thing is this. This stuff is way way difficult and the learning curve is tremendous. I recently bought an Omni turntable, a Reloop Mixon 8 and a Reloop Beatpad 2. I can’t believe how hard this scratching is to master. I mean I usually can pick up an instrument real quick and at least fake knowing what I’m doing. So I now has mad respect for these scratchers. I’ll be back in a year when I can make something musical come out of these devices.
