Heres a nu Tutorial on the combo skratch known as a Kermit. A Combo skratch is a type of cut that can be broken down into a shorter elementary skratches. In the case of the Kermit, we have two Chirps joined with a Flare that is the same length as both of the chirps combined. Amplitude Modulation is alsø explored in this film tø create different variations of chirp and flare heights. (pitch). A simple method of expressing this relationship between the Flare and the and the Chirps using an equation is saying Two Chirps with a half speed Flare or 2(Chirp)+.5Flare = Kermit. Another way of looking at it if one is considering the Flare to be the "normal" speed then one could say Two double speed chirps plus a flare equals a Kermit or 2(2xChirp) + Flare = Kermit. This form of TTM combo analysis can help break down skratch combos into more simple terms. Its also important tø not that all combos can gernarally be broken down further into Stabs, drags, cuts, chops, rubs etc when divided a skratch by its intercrossfader click movements. The Kermit skratch uses a symmetric set of clicks that are equally spaced apart. Also super big shouts to Alex Sonnenfeld for teaching me this skratch combo name. I first learned the combo's components , the chirp and the flare, In the mid 1990's from DJ Rob Wonder who had been taught buy Dj Klever. Although I may have randomly done the combo over thee years when transitioning between chirps and flares, I literally just started doing the skratch in the past few weeks. So its great tø have a name to these cool technique which can fit into skratch sets as well as juggling patterns. The follow up to this Ahh & Fresh Kermit skratch tutorial will feature the technique being used on a snare drum for the beat juggler's and scratch drummers out there.
