The 16th Note Triplet Scribble Scratch Challenge

The weekend is here and for many of us DJs, the next 72 hours are looking pretty bleak. For the first time since 911, working DJs are dealing with cancelled gigs due to what now is a officially a pandemic. From the US to Europe, #coronavirus is forcing us DJs to miss out on work during our most active part of the week and self-quarantine. That leaves us with 2 choices. Sit in front of the TV and let the media further tip us into panic about losing work this weekend or make the best out of a sucky situation. Believe it or not, there's value in not being able to DJ out tonight or tomorrow night, We can DJ in and get better!

With that said, I invite my DJ brethren to take on my latest challenge which tests your ability to execute 16th note triplet scribble scratches while juggling both left and right turntables. You'll be testing your ability to accomplish this task with Run DMC's "Sucker MCs", specifically the first bar of the song (the drum roll). This is an advanced technique however and if you're not experienced at "beat juggling" mutltitasking on the turntables at this level will prove daunting. For those who do have experience, I say make use of your downtime and attempt this challenge. As easy as it looks in this video, It won't be long before you notice the bad habits you've formed with regards to your hand mechanics. But that's the point of all challenges, right? To expose our weaknesses, allowing us to turn them into strengths.

Have fun conquering this challenge.
