scratching drums - new lesson on qsu

"I don't know how he's doing it on the drums... but I do know how to do it on the turntables!" 

Qbert recorded a new lesson with some simple ways to get melodic in your drum skratching. Originally inspired by hearing how drummers can create melodies with their drum kits by hitting different notes, Qbert breaks it down in skratch terms. 

Find it from the Lessons Menu -> Skratching -> Level 5 -> "Melodies in Drumming".

"He is so far advanced, so far ahead of everyone else, he's like Yoda, like the guru." - DJ Jazzy Jeff

"Within DJing, turntablism and skratching is the most technical aspect of the craft, and it's also I would say the most musical. It's the part of DJing that's like playing a musical instrument. And in that world, the sort of Yoda figure, like the pure skratch guy that's on top of Mount Olympus, that's DJ Qbert in a sense.

There's so much of an image of what DJing is nowadays, but so much of what's out there is not the world of Qbert. And what Qbert does is so great. I think music fans out there, people who do and don't know Qbert, should definately keep an eye out for this project because it's gonna sound like nothing else out there. It's about time we get a reminder of how cool skratching can sound when it's really taken to the extreme and treated as a production tool and instrument." - A-Trak
