  Beat juggling - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Beat juggling is the act of manipulating two or more identical samples (e.g.
It could be seen as fingertip sampling, and the turntable and mixer combination could be seen as an instrument from which sounds are made, from the sounds of other instruments (samples).
Beat Juggling has its roots in cutting, in which a small section of a beat is looped using two copies of the same record.

Beat matching means getting two records perfectly in sync with each other, then using the crossfader to switch between them.
Beat matching must be second nature if you are going to get into beat juggling, a main component of many scratch-mixing routines.
You can beat match any two records that are close to the same tempo and have complimentary beats by adjusting the variable pitch controls on each turntable.

To review, beat juggling is the creation of new and different drum patterns using parts of separate drumbeats played on both turntables.
The beat that you will be scratching consists of one sound per beat count, but the resultant beat that you create will have two sounds for the first three of the beat counts — for example, beat 1: kick, snare; beat 2: snare, kick; beat 3: snare, snare; beat 4: snare.
Because three of the beat counts in the bar are played double-time (that is, two drum sounds per beat), each beat count is represented by two rows in the table.

Arthur Lewbel (Economics) is adept at juggling teaching and research, but add up to eight balls - not to mention the odd duckpin, Indian club or flaming torch - and he stands alone on the BC faculty.
Lewbel, one of the nation's most respected econometricians, is, in his spare time, a devoted student of the theory and practice of juggling.
Later on, as an academic, he began to study the science and mechanics of juggling, collecting information on the mathematics and range of body motion involved in the activity, as well as on the value of juggling as an exercise in skill-teaching.

A simplified version of beat juggling (the manipulation of two records simultaneously), drumming is a good technique to master if you want to become proficient at beat juggling.
Battle-break albums are a good source of “drummable” beats because the creators of the those albums often include specific beat combinations that are especially useful for drumming.
However, any hip-hop-style beat (or any drumbeat for that matter) has the potential to be a good drumming candidate.

Unlike normal juggling, in which objects are thrown, spun, or balanced, in contact juggling, as its name implies, objects remain in contact with the body.
One of the segments is a phenomenal contact juggling performance, in which he begins with four balls in each hand, and performs a number of patterns.

Mixing involves matching the beats of two different songs by using a turntable's pitch control so that the tempos are exactly the same, and then smoothly transitioning from one song to the other.
Trick mixing is essentially the same as mixing in that it involves matching the tempo of the beats of two songs, but it also incorporates techniques such as scratching and beat juggling.
These four things are the basic elements of turntablism, and although new techniques and concepts are invented each year, an understanding of these four basic principles is necessary in order to understand the culture and music as a whole.

Luckily, the first mix album put out by the Beat Junkies collective gives the reigns to International Turntablist Federation world-champion (and Dilated Peoples member) DJ Babu with very few moments of stylistic silliness.
He also consistently adds unobtrusive layers of background scratches and beats as he lets Beat Junkies founder J-Rocc chime in every once awhile to praise the laid-back party.
If his style could be described, it would include the fact that he uses a much more soulful and collaborative effort with the original recordings instead of a reliance on lightning deck-blaze aesthetics, which can only be good.
