SCRATCH OVERVIEW:
Scratch drumming is when a DJ scratches 2 or more sounds in a rhythm similar to a drum pattern. There are no preset patterns with this scratch, it is more like actually playing the drums.

Find a bass kick and snare hit that are close together (1/8 and 1/16 notes work best) and make a drum pattern out of the two sounds. This usually starts with a simple rhythm only using forward scratches and the speed of the record. Scratch drumming can evolve to any pattern you can think of.
