DJ Tutorial. Double Tap use on the hot cues.

Lesson Intermediate Stage 6: Performance Technique November 2012

Contents of the video

Right guys, this demonstration stroke tutorial is called the double tap. Now if you're in front of someone with a gun and they're going to give you a double tap then you might as well kiss your arse goodbye.

Right, here we go. We're going to use the hot cues. Just have a listen first. Volume down, now have a listen. We can hear a do-dee-do-dee-da-doo, do-dee-do-dee-da-doo. Also, put the volume up. Very simple way of explaining. When you hit a hot cue, you take your finger off, the track will start but it will carry on going from the point at which you started the hot cue. If, on the other hand, you hit cue at exactly the point after you get that tiny segment of sound you want. It will stop, enabling you to start the hot cue again. So that's exactly what I'm doing here, so if we listen, there, I let it play a little bit longer, shorter, now even shorter. So it's two moves, it's one-two, both hands. Right, left and right, left-right, left-right. So, we will, we will rock you.

Give it a go. Practice and enjoy. Thank you.
