In this video, I break down parts of the Common "The Light" beat juggle while also using Notorious B.I.G.'s "10 Crack Commandments" to explain some of the basics between the beat counts and timing for basic beat juggling.
Years ago i broke down and learned these patterns and it has overall led to so many more juggling techniques. I always find myself coming back to this video and it's such a great tool for intermediate to advanced DJ that want to learn how to juggle. If you combine Angelo, DjFinesse1 and DEEZNOTES tutorials you will have a well rounded arsenal and foundation for your juggling. THANK YOU FOR SHARING THE
Ayo! I been trying to understand beat juggling FOREVER! watching a million vids...you broke this down the best i've seen so far. No one (that i have seen so far) ever talked about breaking down the beat by "Every" note. Simple but important to know...Geez!!! LOL!!! THANK YOU!!! Headed to practice...SALUTE.
Melvin Baptiste yeah, people who don't DJ tend to think scratching is the hardest thing to do, I think pattern juggling is far more difficult (obviously both skills have many levels but it's rare to see a DJ who can pattern juggle but not scratch..... You'll find plenty who can scratch but not juggle). You're right about this vid, explained it perfectly, hope you got on OK!!
I have been trying to chase for a while now, and could not get it until I seen this video. Using the numbers on the Biggie track was a massive help. I was chasing within 20 minutes of watching this. Thanks man.
I remember watching this video 10 years ago wishing i could do this. A decade later, I can more or less do the techniques in this video. Thanks Deez Notes!
Excellent tutorial, especially at the end where he switches the standard beat into a swing beat, pattern juggling sounds so cool when djs do that even though, as he says it's quite basic. Vids like this help so much, thanks man!!
I seen quite a few videros on trying to explain beat jugglin, and I gotta say this one is the best one I have seen. Very informative keep up the good work man.
YO!!!!!!!!!! i think you've really hit it for me. I've seen many videos and i guess different points of view help. for me this doc. specially the breakdown of beat to count. common/biggie. one of the best demos ive seen for my hard to pick up capacity. word dawg. ill suscribe :)
I like what you did at the end of this video. I agree that your way sounds clean. I just started getting into turntablism and learned a lot From djangelo. I am glad that I came upon this video bc I never want to stop being a student. Keep up the good vids and God bless
Real nice juggle explanation and video tutorial Dave... You make me wanna go practice this and learn how to juggle man... I need this in a DVD format as well, LOL... Hope all is good with you dude...
both styles of beat juggling at the end sound good to me it just sounds like the first one is dividing the beat completely in a 4/4 timing one one two two three three the second beat juggling has the like "skip" sound ah-one ah-two ah-three ah-four still i definitely like the video it cleared up a lot with the counting
@sainifabulous I bought the LEDs from some electronics store in the area and soldered them in myself years ago. Now, you can buy kits on ebay with them already soldered for you.
@gk111127 U can juggle in relative mode. It's better - no skips. When I mark my Serato records, I put SSL in absolute mode, load a song with no cue points, put the needle on the record and line up the marker on the screen with the marker on the vinyl. This is so if I ever do juggle in absolute mode, the markers and songs will line up.
@GSGMAN14 the easiest ones are usually beats from 90's hip hop records that have the "boom-bap" type of sound. In those records, the drums are broken down and played clearly. Those records have a funk to them that today's music doesn't have. You can't really juggle those slow hood songs. The guys that are REALLY good (think A-Track) will probably hear a song and then hear it differently in their mind - then they flip it to however they think they can.
