Beat juggling video 7, 2nd on using two turntables

0:00 We just had some diagrams

Alright folks, this is video number 7 on the art of beat juggling. I suggest you go and check out 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 first. In the first one we just had some diagrams. In 2, 3, 4 and 5 we were utilising just the one deck while the other one was playing. In number 6 what we were doing is we were utilising both turntables but we were doing a mirror image of the movements on each turntable. In this one, it's very similar to video number six. The difference being is we're going to be using the volume controls as well now. In video number six, what we did, we basically had the two volume controls up, we had the crossfade in the middle, and then if I was going to stop the record on the right-hand side and move it backwards and forwards four times, as in one, two, three, four, like so, four movements, then I would have to mirror image the movements on the left-hand side.

1:32 Incorporating that into the turntable playing on the left hand side

One, two, three, four. If I was going to do it twice here, one, two, I'd do it twice here, one, two. But because the volume controls were both up, you would hear the ooh-wah like so. You'd hear the forward and the backward motion, ooh-wah, likewise with the other side, like so. Now utilising the volume control, what happens is you can cut out the wah, the backward motion, so you'll only hear this. So, incorporating that into the turntable playing on the left hand side. Now then, bear that in mind because what we're going to be doing is I'm going to be doing that with the right hand side and then with the left hand side but while I'm doing that procedure or that movement with the right hand side, the left hand turntable will be moving and that will be our beat. Then, as soon then as I throw the right hand side in, the right hand side will be playing

3:44 One, two, three, four

Doing those movements and using the right hand side as the beat. Now this is almost, we're almost starting to get to the right way and what a lot of people out there would class as real beat juggling. But bearing in mind I am not a good beat juggler. Just take this video as an explanation how it should be done, not as me doing it and how I'm doing it as it should be done because I can't beat juggle to save my life. Right, so here we go. By the way, again, records are exactly the same that I've used all the way through most of these videos. And a bit of swearing. Little idea. As you could see, I'm not so good on the left hand side as the right hand side. But the whole idea was this. All I was doing, a very simple version of what good beat jugglers can do very well. And that is this. Playing the beat, that beat, and just right in while the beat's playing on this side. But if I was doing one, two, four on the right hand side, I've got to do exactly the same on the left hand side. Get it ready? One, two, three, four.

And then chuck it in, okay? Again, this is another video in the art of beat juggling. There's a few more to come but slowly it's going to get slightly more intricate. Please, if there's anyone out there who can beat juggle properly, unlike me, then post some video responses underneath and let's get the word around. Practice and enjoy.
