Alright and the winner of the Drum Battle is… it's a tie! Why you ask? Well, after futher review of the tape, Q concluded that there are two winning entries! So Ju-e (aka juefgm1) and Rize 1200, congrats fellas you both got a gold record coming your way. Also, honorable mentions go out to Supaphonik, Clearcut, E-Na, and Mase - very nice! I was real happy to see so many people step up the drum challenge, so thank you all!  

Ok so everyone's wondering what the next QSU Battle will be so let me tell you: it's Paradiddles!

…pair a what? Diddles! You don't know about this classic drum technique? It's an 8-note pattern a lot of musicians use and when applied to skratching will make your stabs a lot cleaner and more precise. This is great practice for mixing up your forward and backward cuts and will help you break out of the same old patterns. Be sure to study Q's Paradiddle Lesson in Level 2 and check out the Welcome Video for some more ideas. 

The Rules: Submit a 1 minute video of you flipping paradiddles. Here's some things you'll be judged on: cleanlines, staying on beat, incorporating swing, having ill patterns... all that and more! The winner will get a brand new DJ Qbert Ortofon Needle courtesy of Thud Rumble!
