Although i'm not a huge scratch dj follower, and i've never seen Mike
perform(though i've heard him), here's my opinion: Mike, and q-bert, and
a-trak and all those guys will most probably come out on top when it comes
to sheer speed and dexterity. Where Koala shines is in originality and
overall interesting material and mixing, rather than in lightning speed
scratching, which tends to get REALLY boring after awhile. Consequently,
i've thoroughly enjoyed every Kid Koala performance i've seen, whereas i've
become bored towards the end of other scratchmasters' shows.
