Qbert is undoubtedly one of the coolest turntablists on/or off the planet. Very down to earth and personable, open to talk or share technique with anyone. While so many talk trash and throw attitude as their fame grows, Qbert lets the needle and record do the bragging and shrugs off impossible feats like it was basic. The man!

Just gotta' say that I love your tutorials here. It really shows your personality. Gives us a different view of you as a person. Also, you are beyond skilled. You're definitely top-10 bro. I can't forget DJ Jazzy Jeff, Mix Master Mike, Magic Mike, the guys from C2C, and many more. But it's more like a tie at probably #3 or #4. Hahaha..... Thanks again man!

it also seems as if hes doing them in a flare type fashion, meaning hes getting the extra "ghost" click sounds at the beginning and ends of his pull movements, so you gotta try to get your crabs to fit in btw your hand movements. basically replace a 1 click or 2 click fader motion with crabs and with a 3 finger crab u will get 5 sounds instead of 3 if implemented in flare fashion, also he adds little tears n shit to his basic scratches that the eye can barely see but i can sure hear em

I've never scratched before, but i have played musical insturments, it's just like any thing else, get the technique down slow, play backing tracks at different tempos to slowly build up speed, but make sure your hitting every beat on time every time, don't just skip a tempo cause you got it right once.

For those people wondering what's better: A reverse fader or a normal fader, it's whatever YOU feel used to and whatever YOU can do. For me, it's easier to do a crab at a reverse rate but it's easier for me to do others like the Chirp or the Transformer in a normal fader mode. It's whatever sounds cleaner and better :)

Maybe the Z2, since it's the least expansive mixer on the market with Innofaders. You can run it as a stand alone or run with Traktor. Otherwise look at the used market. If you are just a turntableist without Serato/Traktor maybe pick up a used Rane 56S @ ~$700

To cut out the sound into bits and pieces by keeping the fader on the other turntables side, and taping it into the right side to get sound? Thanks.

Looking at the age of most of the comments on this makes me sad. Kids into "hip hop" in the digital age don't appreciate the art of scratch. Most youngsters I know that listen to modern rap don't even know what a scratch is. True turntablist artists like qbert and mixmaster Mike, xecutioners and Birdy Nam Nam are a dying breed. This scene was dope back in the early 2000's, before eminem made hip hop acceptable for middle class white audiences
