It all comes from the voice.

Today, we're going teach you
the three basic sounds of beatbox,
2
44249
3005
00:47
which make up the foundation of it.
3
47278
1667
00:48
Now, the "kick"
is the kick drum on the bottom
4
48969
2300
00:51
and it makes the loud bass sound.
5
51293
1607
00:52
It sounds like this:
6
52924
1171
00:54
(Beatboxes bass sound)
7
54119
1166
00:55
Alright? You hear that?
8
55309
1159
00:56
(Beatboxes bass sound)
9
56492
1064
00:57
How do you make that sound?
10
57580
1293
00:58
Well, the way you make that sound
is you take a "p" and you take a "b"
11
58897
3304
01:02
and you mesh those two together
12
62225
1826
01:04
and it's going to give you
what we refer to as the kick drum.
13
64075
3230
01:07
Pb! Pb! Pb!
14
67329
1393
01:08
So, alright, so you try this:
15
68746
1689
01:10
Pb!
16
70459
1247
01:11
Pb!
17
71730
1157
01:13
Excellent!
18
73228
1184
01:14
Now, the next sound
is the almighty snare sound.
19
74436
3190
01:17
And the snare sound
is basically taking a "k" and an "a"
20
77650
4394
01:22
and putting those two sounds together.
21
82068
1833
01:23
And it sounds like this:
22
83925
1373
01:25
Ka! Ka! Ka!
23
85715
1734
01:27
Alright? So just try that, really easy.
24
87952
1924
01:30
Ka! Ka! Ka!
25
90354
1903
01:32
Now, the last sound
is one of my favorite sounds.
26
92281
2941
01:35
It's the hi-hat.
27
95246
1389
01:36
The hi-hat's my favorite sound,
28
96659
1485
01:38
because it's always
on the tip of your tongue.
29
98168
2161
01:40
You basically take a "t" and an "s"
30
100353
2794
01:43
and twist those two together,
31
103171
1689
01:44
and it's going to sound like this:
32
104884
1765
01:46
Ts Ts, Ts, Ts.
33
106673
1370
01:48
It's great, right?
34
108694
1159
01:49
So, you put all those together
35
109877
1436
01:51
and you can make some really
amazing, wonderful music
36
111337
2489
01:53
that you can do anywhere.
37
113850
1224
01:55
We can make beats in the car, right?
38
115098
1849
01:56
So we can just drive
through the city, making a beat.
39
116971
2493
01:59
And it sounds a little
something like this.
40
119488
2206
02:01
Let's speak to them.
41
121718

42
123410
2000
02:16
(Beatboxing ends)
43
136132
1201
02:17
Alright, so that's how you can
actually speak to each other.
44
137357
2833
02:20
Now, those are really complex
beat patterns, right?
45
140214
2596
02:22
So, we'll do a few beat patterns with you
46
142834
2189
02:25
and you repeat after me so you can begin
to learn these sounds, alright?

02:52
So we can take all of those
different rhythms and sounds,
58
172722
2753
02:55
and jam with each other
by listening to each other, right?
59
175499
2717
02:58
So right now we're just rolling around,
we're going to drop a phat beat,
60
