In this sample scratch tutorial from QSU (qbertskratchuniversity.com), DJ Qbert breaks down the secret to the infamous Boomerang Scratch, which was first pioneered by the great innovator DJ Flare. As you'll see, the boomerang is a continuous version of the Aquaman Scratch.
Do the aquaman and keep it consistent: forward back forward, backward forward backward, counting 1, 2, 3 along. Swing back and forth along that 1, 2, 3 count. Once you can do that 1, 2, 3 swinging back and forth evenly, try to do multiple reps of that set without a pause in between each set. The elimination of the pause doesn't have to happen immediately. Of course, like practicing all other musical instruments, you build up on it. You start with long pauses in between, then speed up the pause each time. With a little bit of patience, you will soon be doing the Boomerang Scratch continuously.
This lesson is only a portion of what can be available to you on Qbert Skratch University. Find out more at artistworks.com/qbert
Two click flare and reverse og flare really helped learning these first even though they are open fader scratches. The aquaman scratch just joins them up nicely! Get good at two clicks! It's a must
Qbert is far too advanced that he can't even simplify his scratch moves lol.
Iamyouonlydifferent facts
I lower the speed to 0.25 for some parts to make it easier to follow the details of handmovement.
Qbert is the Bruce Lee of scratching.
@@Meechl0uch man I miss this profile, Iamyou got perm a banned for trolling a troll and every now and then I come across relics in the comment
Yeah, he a fire DJ
But not much of a teacher.
summer of 2008 we filmed the original lessons, this is from that session
Learning the 2 click flare first helps with the fader hand. Then instead of doing an orbit move the record forwards backward and forwards again for first half them mirror the second half
This has helped to much!! Just could not make this scratch sound good or even do it without the pause. But after watching this it's starting to come together! Yes!
Thank you ArtistWorks, you truly have an artist in this video
I dont know if I have got any better at the boomarang. But my aquaman is banging! Also my autobahn is coming along nicely. All from watching this video and others.
The autobahn is more advanced than the boomerang, the first part of the autobahn is the first part if the boomerang!
I wish I could see this explained using the fader in the traditional sense. I'm one that never uses the hamster switch
Thanks man, awesome video brotha
Been following Qbert since my buddy showed me the "do it yourself skratching" DVD and wavetwisters. I was a sheltered kid who didn't know about Q until after Y2K. I got ripped off lol.
I'm trying to learn this where you start on the low notes. It's not easy. But I almost have it down.
I know this is mad old, but much respect man, I'm from the burbs and nobody knows jack and/or shit about any of this stuff around here. Its rough. lol! Peace!
@@sgtcreasegreaseI know this reply is mad old, but I still wanna reply to it. I also only do 2 clicks, I just do a baby and then a click. It's been a long hard road but I have it at a decent tempo
Q, You ain'Breakin'Down anything!
Slow Down, Hermano!
Nice!
And thats how i got to do the boomarange faster lol. Funny how the aquaman terns into the boomarange at higher speeds
Guys this is aquaman and not boomerang.
Boomerang starts crossfader close and ends close too thank you .
I like this DJ thing now its only that I'm on t able to buy this machines, l like playing music as a DJ,now on equipment. Show ma man,sharp sharp
I have that mixer!!!!
Don't forget Q has his cross fader in hamster mode (reverse).
Tried and tested method
Come on this is simple stuff top work qbert holmes
determined to get dat scratch down. watching qbert from upside down, looking at his fader hand cause I'm a right hand regular. So two forward tears and two backward?
no, that'd be a clover tear you just described. Boomerang is a "1-2-3, 1-2-3" count making 6 notes in total
Are these any different besides doing triplet chirps and just slowing down the 3rd not?
+Jp Hardboiled It's different than Chirps, it's a 2-Click Flare combined with a "1-2-3-1-2-3" back and forth motion with the record hand
Master Q
Dope
ok i will
Shouldn't Boomerang scratch start with the fader closed?
if you start it with the fader closed it becomes a delayed flare or something like that. this is the right way to boomerang
2 clik flare wit fwd n bak drag combo
Now i just cant get the boomerang! Just aquaman. When i free style ( not that im anygood yet) just keeps popping up automatically lol
it looks more like aquaman scratch???
The clicks are at different points than most other boomerang tutorials. Just a variation?
Qbert trained close with DJ Flare who innovated this technique, so he knows exactly what it is. This is a 2 Click Flare combo
ArtistWorks that's great, but adds nothing to the question I asked.
Seth Clark can't say without seeing the other tutorials, if you want to learn the boomerang though - this is what it is
I get you Seth. Just done a quick video on it. only 2 years late! :)
Cant find this beat anywhere?
who came up this scratch
HOLA 🖐️ SALUDOS 👋 AQUÍ UN AMIGO 🖐️🇪🇸 ÉXITOS 🙏
what scratch should i learn after the Boomerang??
the failing-goat is a good one to learn next
Whats the name of the beat?
its like the picadilly drum rudiment kinda
Qbert =Messi
14 years later, Q looks still the same lol
took me like a year to get this down lol
jay cutty man I tried this 5 years ago and it was so hard. Finally got back into scratching and just getting it down today
I still can't do it
Same. Aqaman I can do but the boomarange still not there. Even though they are similar!
I dont understand
Ok. Didn't learn it here. This is like the advanced class. Not for beginners. I'm like dafuq is the Aquaman? Lol.
that's not the boomerang... that's the aquaman!
Why is it called the Aquaman?
Mike Costa he explained that it is a variation of the aquaman...the difference is that you don't make a definite pause, you swing without pausing to make it more fluid and rhythmic. It's like 1 2 swing 3 1 2 swing 3 instead of 123 pause 123 pause
@@j-boogiebrown9961 the aquaman scratch gives off a watery sound hence the name
Aquaman is a two click with the fader open at start. Boomerang is a two click with the fader closed at the start. Check my boomerang tutorial on Skratch Poop youtube channel.
Hmmm trust random dude on TH-cam or qbert
Eye went to the scratch university smells like balut...
DO NOT TALK SHIT ABOUT THE MASTER
Q might be the best Turntablism of all Time, But his Tutorials aint helpful
Definitely not the best turntablist, maybe best scratch dj but as a whole his juggling is good but not amazing and other stuff he doesn't do as well rounded turntablist and dj then craze is king
Keep watching diffrent tutorial videos from diffrent dj's and keep practicing and then rewatch them and you will find it makes more sense what these djs are trying to teach.
:)
Beat Junkies.
Poorly explained... easier to follow on other tutorials
Shut up pendejo
@james P: Precisely.
@mrd33ds You must not know Pedagogy.
lol this is not helpful
