You definitely need to see a live concert! React to "How Great Thou Art." Adam sings in that & has a small solo section. He does have a great voice. They are all multi talented! Also, I know we are no where near Christmas, but Adam arranged their version of "Do You Hear What I Hear." It is truly the best version I've ever heard. His unique beat boxing on it is unbelievable!
Yep everyone else gets a break, while Adam keeps on working! The heart and soul of this group 😊 Pentatonix and Voice Play have magnificent singers, but what sets Home Free above all others is Adam Rupp 😊
Enjoy your reactions & your appreciation of Adam's great talent. So glad you checked out a more recent solo from Adam. This shows him using a looper. He keeps honing his craft & adding new sounds. He is Home Free's secret weapon. Adam does this solo at every live concert.
Adam and hIs older brother Chris started Home Free in 2000 when Adam was 19 or 20 and he's been there ever since. I've recently learned that he has held the group together when others wanted to throw in the towel. Adam is the man.
Their crew (lighting and sound) are just as fantastic as they are. Chris (Adam's brother) says Adam has never been comfortable singing lead because he isn't vocally trained like the others BUT he is so talented and has such a naturally beautiful voice and he is getting more at ease with with singing minor solos by adding some harmony to his solos. The man is phenomenally talented and unbelievably humble. Tim said in one interview that Adam is the magic of Home Free. Great reaction!!!!
Adam does this type of drum solo during the full HF concert...while the guys are back stage.....there is a video where they actually forgot about him on stage where he had to stall for time... :)
I do wish that Adam would record some of this, mix it and release it. I would buy it! But he hasn't really expressed an interest in doing it so it is only through these videos or attending a concert that it can be seen. Trust me, it is incredible live. A Home Free show is a party. I believe that every year or so, he creates a new "set" and practices it in his little recording office in his home. Then when they get ready to go on tour, he creates the light show with the lighting guys. There may be a click track as all the guys use one during concerts. But Adam is very hands on with everything he does. He really is the heart of the group.
Excellent!! I hadn't heard that particular one! During their Christmas show, Adam used the looper to create "The Carol of the Bells"!! 😳🔥 In one of his old sets he did Michael Jackson, dancing (including the moonwalk) and remixed "Billie Jean"! Lol The boy's got moves!! 😁👀 That's where the studded jacket came from that he put on in this show.
All of their shows are like a 3D experience. You get to "feel" Adam and Tim in each song rumble all through your body. And, that very last part, it's hard to tell but his jacket has mirrors sewed on the shoulders and back to reflect those awesome lights. 😉
I've had the privilege of watching and hearing this twice, live. Believe you me he is fantastic and leaves you wondering when does he have time to breathe. He has fantastic energy and endurance. He does this for every show so that it gives the rest of the group a break. He is after all "our freak of nature." But he is the glue of the HomeFree guys. I'm sure other groups would love to steal him away. Glad you liked him. Great reaction 🥰✌
I've said it once I've said it a million times.. This man is an alien he is from another planet.. He is absolutely outstanding.. I don't even think there's a right word for him.. He is a Freak of Nature he deserves that title..🏡🆓🏡🍟
Adam is a freak of nature. I swear if Hollywood needs sounds for a new movie like Star Wars remake he could supply all the sounds they need. He sounds like R2D2. He could do a dinosaur, cars, whatever they need. He’s amazing!
A cappella music and beat boxing where nowhere on my radar before I discovered Home Free. I am completely obsessed with their music and especially Adam's beat boxing/vocal percussion. I find myself listening specifically for his performances when I hear their music. I got to see them live for the first time in October and the show was all I'd imagined it would be and more. Adam's solo was jaw dropping. Creative, electrifying and exciting. The only way he wouldn't get a standing O for his solos is if he performed them in a cematary. I'm thrilled for a reactor to acknowledge his skills. Ironically, he's so good at what he does, most people just blow by his contributions to the music because they forget it's him doing it and not actual instruments. The solos really highlight what he can do. He does a drum solo at every Home Free concert. Thanks for an awesome reaction.
i see them every time they're within 300 miles of me, i love all of them but i always eagerly await his "drum solos". and yes, it's so much better when you experience them live
You are right bro, I wish really wish Home Free would release one professionally recorded. But there's still one from a cellphone you should check out, Guilty Pleasures.
Please find a Guilty Pleasures that isn't the "hilariously derailed" version where you miss the whole punchline. While it's hilarious to watch Tim and Austin completely lose the plot, it's better if you've seen one done right first.
This was such an awesome reaction! And that’s what I love about you! You know music and you thoroughly enjoyed this and made me smile just as big as you were! They makes everything they do look so easy. But you know it isn’t and really get it and see the true talent!
I absolutely adore you!!! That's why I am giving you this disclaimer, a warning if you will. No one, and I mean, NOT ONE SINGLE PERSON, is prepared for this live! Or, anything they do live! Saw them last month in Atlanta, and umm, I got the vapors, and I'm still recovering!!! Phe-FREAKIN-nominal!!!
This is the halftime show ;) Last time they where in Norway, the rest of the guys lost track of time, and forgot to go back on, on time. So poor Adam had to improvise! Was so fun! We got "Mary got a little lamb" because of a little kid they all fell in love with! :D
Yep - Adam is a beast & damn he's good!!! Not so sure that what you seek exists (in the public realm anyway). HF has promoted themselves this way, by sharing and allowing/encouraging to share on social media, so most everything available is by "handheld" of some sort. Very surprised of the quality actually (or what you do get to hear). Guess if ya hear it via "share", should most definitely make ya wanna see a "LIVE" show any by merch. Sound qualities are affected by so much, esp the venues. One thing is for sure -- LIVE performances, you feel what yer hearing!!!! Be Safe
I was thinking back about how I grew to love Home Free And how it started. They were on a Show called “The Sing Off” season 4. It was a great place to really see their talent and get to know them, plus hear their great music. There is a clip of all their performances on the sing off called “Home Free - Sing off - Season 4 all performances. I know it’s hard to do the sing off performances one at a time but this clip has all their performances. It’s a little long but worth it.
I get the pleasure of seeing them live Wednesday night in Ft Meyers, over on the west coast of Florida....that 2. 1/2 hour drive from Miami is going to be exciting
That was cool! His talent (and years of development) is off the chart and very entertaining! Thanks for your reaction! Check,out “Listen to the Music,” “So Long Dixie” (an original), “Ain’t Goin’ Down ‘Til the Sun Comes Up” and their latest “Delta Dawn” just to name a few with some pretty good drum parts.
Thank you so much!! I have a few of these on my list, I'll add the others. I did Brithers in Arms if you want to see: ru-vid.com/group/PLYrkTp-j9yal9TybrDgHIHochUwtWVzxz
I had the joy of seeing Eddie Van Halen solo live several times. Watching Adam feels just like when Eddie did his solos during VH concerts. He's a virtuoso like evh was on guitar. I've only seen Adam live 2x but hoping for more. Amazing
Oh wow wow, wow! The first time I've seen the this part of Adam's performance with the looper! Outstanding! Great reaction, loved your enthusiasm and the play by play descriptions of how Adam was synchronizing his sounds, added even more enjoyment to the video. Thank you so much!
Listen to the Music has some of Adam's best work, he is amazing in it! I can't find where you have done a reaction to it, so if you haven't heard it, you should!
Well, good morning Jeremy....looking forward to this. I haven't heard this one, so should give some surprises. Love your voice, by the way. It is silky smooth in contrast to most metal guitarists. Now, on with the show. 😊
Yes, their live shows are incredible, and Adam does a solo every concert! I agree that the cellphone recordings don't do it justice, especially with Adam's incredible range (B0-G6 I believe). His solo stays pretty much the same, but he will switch it up every once in a while and add new bits, or old bits like the Michael Jackson stuff (he even dances). There is no studio recording of his solo work as far as I know, the only thing that would come close is when they have done livestreams of their concerts, as the sound would be recorded by their own sound guys.
In all the live performances I have seen they have done some version of this. It usually starts with him explaining the looper, and all the guys will chime in for a part, and then he goes into his solo stuff. I don't know that Home Free has ever put out an official recording of this, but if you go to a live show you're almost guaranteed to see it. I can tell from the background this was from a Christmas concert. The thing that got me is hearing Adam solo, is how low he can go, which makes sense to do all of those percussive sounds, I think I just took for granted before how low he was going to produce those sounds.
Adam has quite a voice range. The didgeridoo is pretty low and some of his other sounds are high. I thought he was a tenor but now I think that like several of his bandmates, he can't be categorized so easily.
@muSiK (by Jeremy H.) I just realized you haven't reacted to ring of fire yet, it's amazing and also includes avi Kaplan the original bass from pentatonix
@@pudge5614 oh trust me…it’s been on my radar. I didn’t expect this channel to take off like it did. I’ve got quite the list of videos to check out, and you better believe I’ve got my eye on that one. LOVE AVI! I will def do this song, but it may be another 2 weeks or so. Thank you so much for being here and your support! It really means the world!
I saw them in Montréal and the theater up there its standing only. No seats which I enjoy. When he yelled drop the base and did it felt like the floor dropped out from under us and then came back. It was amazing. I love his Billy Jean solo. This is old but threw the sound system ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-EanKWLUaDpg.html now and again you can do a online concert the one at the Ryman was amazing.
Going through your HF playlist again and know what you mean about cell phone footage (although I'll take what I can get of the boys) which is why I'm ordering a new camera because they're coming to the Indy State Fair (I already have my tickets) and I want some good video if possible especially of Adam. If I get some decent video with it maybe I'll send you some. BTW you should see some of the back stage video with Rob trying to break Adam's concentration during this.
So amazing. I saw them live several months ago and those bass notes rattled the floor. The concert I was at was a Christmas one and when he used the looper he did Carol of the Bells. Here's a link to a video ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-YhxrE8Qbr7E.html Unbelievable.
I guess Adam's drum solo is a time for the others to take a little break; grab another drink, hit the head, take a breather. There's a video of one time that went not exactly right. Home Free Leaving Adam Out to Dry On Stage is less than 40 seconds long, recorded by someone backstage and starts blurry. And it very funny. But it's always nice to see their lovely backstage manager (or whatever her title is, I keep forgetting) Jenika Foust, Tim's better half.
Don’t get me wrong…. I absolutely love home free and I think Adam absolutely has a gift from god……. But his initial loop was from a looper/beat boxer named Saro….. Adam is good, but Saro killed that loop…. Go search Saro vs MB14 beatbox. Keep them coming, love your reactions and passion. PS Amendment……. I see you reacted to Saro Vs MB14 about a month ago…. I don’t think you caught it…. Saro’s first loop…. Or at least you never let on. Again… love what you do, your reactions make these enjoyable to watch.
I don’t think I caught that they’re the same. Did these way too far apart to realize that. But, I’m not hating….as a musician….we borrow riffs and parts from all sorts of inspirations. So, I’m not surprised.
I think the "clash" I felt at the beginning had to do with the instrumental accompaniment because I'm used to hearing their Acapella expertise and not orchestral music. I think Rob sounds like a completely different vocalist here than when he sings country 🥰
I can’t find the link on my phone e right now, but he has a Christmas 2022 solo titled Adam Rupp’s Trans Siberian Orchestra. The only way you would get a professional recording would be to go to a streamed show. They have one from March of 2023 at the Ryman.
Tonight, about 2 hours after you fall asleep and are dreaming about pilgrims walking in Tibet, you will develop a twitch in your right cheek followed closely by the left cheek twitching in a syncopated rythm. Finally both cheeks with cramp into a sadistic grimace that will need the application of warm compresses to relieve the pain. It is a common event when you view an Adam Rupp "Drum Solo" video with no smile breaks. Congratulation, you are unmistakably a die hard Home Fry.
Why drag along an entire truck full of drum kits & etc. when you have an Adam Rupp? If you haven't seen "Mayday Live" you really need to - it's quite different from the studio video. Even though the live videos are usually on fan cams, they're even better than the studio ones. Adam's breath & muscle control is amazing - there's a short video on y/t where he talks about how to do no-monicas - it involved lifting your soft palate among other things!
Hi Jeremy. Great reaction as usual, but it’s really hard to see what Adam is doing since the screen is so small (using an iPad), and I do understand why it’s small. Is he actually recording different parts separately and then playing them back simultaneously? I think it’s called looping. Thanks.
Hi Beverly! Sorry for the quality…cell phone videos aren’t the best. Especially when it’s small. Yes, he’s got a piece of gear that records what you put into it for 4 measures (a typical beat basically) and then it repeats the line you fed it. Some looper pedals can record many different “tracks” or lines, and layer them on top of each other, and will play it back until you stop it. It’s an amazing tool…but you’ve got to have amazing timing. If you don’t, your loop will sound off. Ren does it in one of the videos with Chinchilla, and you can hear that one of his notes is too slow. It even throws him off a little. But you really have to know what to look for.
This isn't a professional recording of Adam but a short clip showing how he lays down his beat and mixes it. It's only a little over a min. so not so great for a reaction. I just thought you might be interested ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-HAvyfkVsyLk.html
New sub here, check out there covers of Listen to the Music by The Doobie Bros and their cover og Ain't Goin' Down til the Sun comes up by Garth Brooks, they will blow your mind especially Rupps "nomonica"! I still cant figure out how he does it.
this is another somewhat older drum solo but it is different from the 2015 one. it is a phone recording though. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-gAQ2W7XaDcI.html
Well, yes and no. I wouldn’t say superior, because most people can train their ears. Once you train your ears, then you train your mouth on how to replicate the sound. But you HAVE to know the sounds first. So, I think if most people really applied themselves and put in the practice that it really takes, you’d be surprised how many could do a good job. And then of course, some folks ARE born with it, and simply need to hone it.
