Hi i signed up to this forum ages back on steves (djsigma) reccomendation.. couldnt seem to get on for ages though, glad the sites fixed now.
Currently I'm in the process of creating an Ebook for university on cross rhythm scratching. The book will link to video accompaniments to help describe patterns through example.
Abstract:
The principal objective of this project is to provide a video, sound, text and TTM notation based tutorial of various cross rhythm scratches, while discussing the underlying methods I have discovered for the formulation of new cross rhythm techniques.
I am of the opinion that cross rhythms have been largely overlooked in scratching, and because of this I would like to encourage further development in this area. The techniques I describe span across various cross rhythm beat lengths and serve to provide a strong indication of the potential benefit of further self-study in this area.
I have a few videos already completed if you'd like to check below:
Chirp OG Flare -

Hendecagon -
In geometry, a hendecagon is an 11 sided polygon. I use this term for this particular eleven beat cross rhythm scratch. The hendecagon is composed of two chirps, an OG flare, and a Crescent flare.

Chirp Boomerang -
The boomerang can be considered a six beat cross rhythm. When we add another two beats to this scratch using a chirp, the total number of beats in the combination is lengthened to eight. The result is a cross rhythm influenced regular time scratch.

Royal Line -
This technique combines two Chirp OG Flares with a Chirp Crescent Flare. The OG Flares together add up to ten beats and imply a five beat cross rhythm continuation. The Chirp Crescent Flare stabilises this implied cross rhythm by adding another six beats to the pattern, making a total of sixteen beats in all. This is another example of a cross rhythm influenced regular time scratch.

will post more up as i finish them.
