Rob - there's a tremendous value to the viewer, you posting lessons in this format. The viewer is right there with the student, egging him on, and cheering when he gets it. It's cathartic, and it's awesome. More, please.
This video would make more sense if the instructor's camera was oriented like that of the student (bird's eye view). Why are we watching the student's turntables and not the instructor? The orientation of this video is actually backwards. Rob(or any video instructing DJ) should ALWAYS present their turntables as the center and from a bird's eye view, so that the viewer can more easily translate the motions. There is less value is seeing the student, in large, while the instructor is a small vid that is oriented in a mirror image. FUNDAMENTAL QUESTION FOR ROB: Why not discuss "drops" and "offsets" in terms of the beat numbers and the half beats between them? For example, in this and your "offset" video, never do you discuss "on what beat are drops" taking place. In this current video, the drop of the second turn table appears to occur on BEAT 2 (directly after the "1-and" of the first turntable). In the "offset" video, you use to term without ever properly defining what exactly is an "offset" in term of "on which beat does the drop occur." In both this and the "offset" video, never do you reveal that the drops are occuring on BEAT 2. Imagine a math teacher who is explaining numbers to kids and never uses a number line as a concrete object that can help the student. Rob should discuss these drops in terms of : "1-and-2-and-3-and-4-and" OR Beat 1 Beat 1 and 1/2 Beat 2 Beat 2 and 1/2 Beat 3 Beat 3 and 1/2 Beat 4 Beat 4 and 1/2 Use these elements to help the student "map" exactly where these ambiguous "drops" you keep referring to. You have alluded to 4/4 time in other videos, why not use the beats to PRECISELY EXPLAIN WHERE THE DROPS OCCUR. SECOND FUNDAMENTAL QUESTION: Why EVER discuss a "right" and "left" turntable and not a "first" and "second" turntable. "Left" and "right" are confusing when the instuctor is facing you. Moreover, what difference does it make in which turntable you start with? You should be careful when you refer to a "right" and "left."
Crazy how I use this exact same pattern just with another song. I did it on the shadow boatride yesterday using the intro to Droppin’ Science. Fader control & pace is key to getting this perfect!
love this stuff. i am guilty of overthinking when i do turntablism and it makes me sloppy but i will keep practicing and STOP THINKING of ever move before it comes.
Your videos Rob Swift are always inspiring and educative. I learn alot and thank you for breaking down this routine,it would have taken ages to figure it out but now its practice mode thanks to you. Mob love from +254 Kenya
This video is absolutely brilliant. Love that you’ve broken it into the “3 Levels” of the Rock The Bells Pattern, and absolutely LOVE how you’ve described the “3 types” of Juggle Pattern. I have so many questions, though. How many “steps” can a pattern have? Is 3 really the magic number???
Hi Rob ! Thanks fo your vidéos, you teach me a lot ! I have a question (i'm french, sorry for my english), i scratch and practice beat juggling with reverse cross fader (hamster), it's really complicate for me to do this "inverted beat juggling". Can you help me maybe ? I don't know how to do for catching the snare (second part of the vidéo). Big up from France ! Lots of people watch yours tutorials !
Thank you Rob Swift!!! I got it right now ! I also tried to repeat only the first half of the pattern like from 18:56-18-57 without letting the normal drumset rock. As you do that you always gotta start with the left deck or with the right deck , do you know what i mean ? Peace, thanks and lots of respect !
Peace...does anyone know who was the 1st DJ to use "LL COOL IS HARD AS HELL" in a major battle??? I just found out My Self...LOL...I give You a hint: "this DJ was 3 Feet and Rising at a point in time!" Also "diggin' in graves as well..."

Yessir. More content just like this to come my friend.

FUNDAMENTAL QUESTION FOR ROB:

For example, in this and your "offset" video, never do you discuss "on what beat are drops" taking place. In this current video, the drop of the second turn table appears to occur on BEAT 2 (directly after the "1-and" of the first turntable). In the "offset" video, you use to term without ever properly defining what exactly is an "offset" in term of "on which beat does the drop occur."

Imagine a math teacher who is explaining numbers to kids and never uses a number line as a concrete object that can help the student. Rob should discuss these drops in terms of :
"1-and-2-and-3-and-4-and" OR
Beat 1
Beat 1 and 1/2
Beat 2
Beat 2 and 1/2
Beat 3
Beat 3 and 1/2
Beat 4
Beat 4 and 1/2
Use these elements to help the student "map" exactly where these ambiguous "drops" you keep referring to. You have alluded to 4/4 time in other videos, why not use the beats to PRECISELY EXPLAIN WHERE THE DROPS OCCUR.
SECOND FUNDAMENTAL QUESTION:
Why EVER discuss a "right" and "left" turntable and not a "first" and "second" turntable. "Left" and "right" are confusing when the instuctor is facing you. Moreover, what difference does it make in which turntable you start with? You should be careful when you refer to a "right" and "left."
Many of you are looking for Stezo - 'It's my Turn', which has a good loop of Skull Snaps - 'It's a New Day'--the track that Rob is using.
Legend💯
Rob your patients and ability to adapt to the students learning styles makes you a great teacher. Never give up the fight!💪
Thank you for saying that brother!
One of theeeee MOST valuable channels on TH-cam for the Dj community IMO 💪🏾💯
15:19… 🤣 I said the SAME thing! I had forgotten the 3rd step too and I was WATCHING!!!
15:18... You KNOW it is a truly honest comedic moment when you come back and rewatch a video and you laugh at the EXACT same moment!
Thank you Rob for breaking this down. Usually it takes years to figure those technics. Please keep teaching and inspiring us!

"OH GOSH" that made me lmao. good shit!! Respect Rob!!!

This was very helpful even though I juggle hamster style. I can see the patterns.
This video is absolutely brilliant.

A pattern can have as many steps as your mind can conceive bro.

It doesn't matter which deck you start with so long as you display accurate timing.
Peace...does anyone know who was the 1st DJ to use "LL COOL IS HARD AS HELL" in a major battle??? I just found out My Self...LOL...I give You a hint: "this DJ was 3 Feet and Rising at a point in time!" Also "diggin' in graves as well..."
