1:28 I’m glad he clarified we put our hands at the 9PM position, I’ve been putting it at 9AM this whole time like an idiot 😂
Jk, great video and tutorial!

Hey awesome video how do I get the hip hop samples that link is broken

[KatsarovDesign]

Hey Lawrence, got any tips about timing? I found it easier to do baby scratches first on impact beats (not all 4). I still cannot do the timing with baby scratching on all 4 beats

Do you need a scratch sample in order to scratch?
