Home Free: Adam Rupp Drum Solo [SPM ST15] (Reaction) 

This was seven years ago. He’s only getting better every day.

Adam actually learned how to play the drums to become a better vocal percussionist. He majored in trumpet, though, so he already has good breath control.

Love Adam Rupp & his insane talent. He is the best out there in my opinion. He simulates the sounds of a drum perfectly. Many drummers have commented on how good he is. He sounds so realistic. His breath control must be crazy. I heard he makes the sounds both while inhaling & exhaling. This was a few years ago & hard to believe but he is even better now. Adam is the glue that holds Home Free together. He is their secret weapon which other a cappella groups can't match.

This one is eight years old. He has a new version now where he uses a looper live to create a new set each night. There have been a couple different shows uploaded to RU-vid in the past couple of months.

"9 to 5" beatboxing breakdown, live, I think it was in October 2015. They all beat box! They are just incredible! Thank you guys!

At a concert a couple of days ago in Greeneville, TN, he had an eleven minute “drum” solo of so many different sounds. It was amazing. You need to see them live.

this performance by Adam was fire....🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

Adam is just the best !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Adam actually learned how to play drums so he could represent what he was doing correctly.

The Home Fries love their Adam Rupp!! He is THE BEST!!

Butts Remix, End of the Road, When a Man Loves a Woman, Unchained Medley. All great covers by them. Just pick one it's always AMAZING

The group has given him 2 nicknames...Freak of Nature and Spitter!!!

Hey guys, you've got to check this one out, Home Free - 9 to 5 + Beatboxing Breakdown, October 27, 2015. This shows the whole group beatboxing. They are all multi talented. It's insane what these guys can do. It doesn't seem to matter what genre they've got it covered. They could sing the back of a bottle of cyanide and make you want to drink it. lol!

Someone pointed out that his vocal range is as wide and crazy as Tim's, because his sounds encompass such deep tones and such clear highs.

Like everyone has said, he has only gotten better over the years and to hear him live is even more mind blowing.

What an outstanding set of lungs! Outstanding breath control! Outstanding creativity! Outstanding stage presence! But the best part of all: Adam is a member of the most outstanding a cappella band ever: Long live HOME FREE! ❤❤❤❤❤ btw: I enjoyed your reaction, Nani Brothers

There are several Drum solos by him. And they are each different and they show his growth as a vocal percussionist

I know I'm spamming you a bit now 🤣, but we stunned him once, in Prague in 2018, when we replied back on the "3"-thing almost perfectly. There's a few of his here in Europe that travel to see them when they come to this side of the pond and the guys "know" us. We've never seen him so surprised. (Except perhaps in Oslo 2020 when the guys left him hanging on stage after his solo ended 🤣).

And, he does a solo at each concert..it’s so bad‼️. I loved it…he was like 10’ in front of me & BLEW ME AWAY 😳🥰😵‍💫‼️

Thank you for this reaction to Adam's drum solo. However this is very old, about 8 years old. Adam is so much more evolved as a percussionist now, Give a listen to one of the fan videos posted from their current tour or even their early 2020 tour, pre-pandemic.

Want to hear more of Adam? they came out on Facebook.Aint going down tii the sun comes up 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

This is an old video. He's even better now. Awesome. It's amazing that he can beat box longer than the others can sing. Bionic lungs.

Your minds after watching Adam’s beatbox solo: 🤯He’s been referred to as “alien”, “non-human”, among other compliments in the past! Like many others have posted, this is from 2015. He’s way better than back then! Some of Home Free’s songs that have a upbeat tempo make me wonder how he finds time to breathe! Lol Loved your reactions!

He is the best best boxer. I was at a concert where Adam did Billie Jean the beat boxing, vocals and even moonwalk across the stage.

You gotta check out some of their live videos like…”story time with Tim” and “guilty pleasures” as well as live performances and each of the episodes from the show “Sing Off” season 4 (2013).

He has a degree in music performance focusing on Trumpet. So that's how he can double tongue, triple tongue, and circular breathe.

If you want to see how far he's taken this over the last 7 years, look on wbish3 RU-vid channel and watch one of her videos of Adam's drum solo from this month's concerts. He's using a looper now and the results are amazing.

Adam is a great “drummer”! Lol! He’s insanely good with his beatboxing. I just wanna know one thing.... HOW does he do it without coughing??? 😂

Adam started as a trumpet player, then became a beat-boxer/vocal percussionist (his preferred term because he creates multiple effects not just the beat), then finally he learned how to play the drums. He learned the drums after this was recorded and after becoming a two time beatboxing national champ. If you want to see Adam after he learns the drums, you need to watch his Michael Jackson inspired drum solos. They are mostly recorded during one of their European tours.

Loved that you saw this one. It’s my favorite. He uses a looper now which is cool but this is so cool and so good. The rest of Home Free calls Adam a “freak of nature” which is true. He might be an alien…hahaha. I’m sure his use of a looper now is to save his voice. When I see this I just realize that you don’t need instruments when you have Adam. Great reaction boys! Try In the Blood, Heaven, What We Ain’t Got. There are so many good ones. 😃🥰

His friends call him a freak of nature!!

He can play real drums also, has a bachelor's degree in music, his main instrument is trumpet, but also can play drums, keyboard and bass guitar.

Adam actually plays the drums. He majored in music. Playing the drums helped him perfect his beatboxing skills.

Adam Rupp is so insanely Talented.. His beatboxing is beyond this Universe..Way too go Adam...🏡🆓🏡🍟 Adam actually took drum lessons to improve on his beatboxing that is what's so cool and amazing about this man..

He is the best. Great reaction

He has won #1 in the country many times

Oh, you need to checkout out one from last year, guys. This is so old and all the guys have evolved so much since, and Adam has just gone from a freak to an alien freak. This was nothing contained to wear he does these days. Cool that you reacted to this first, though, so you can see the difference when you check out the newer. 😁🥰💃🙏

I've never seen any beatboxer use his hands like Rupp. I have to think that he IS a drummer who can also beatbox. 😍🤩

Adams the best.he won championships 💯🔥🔥🔥

He has a new one out it is insane!

His Billy Jean solo in GA is my favorite. He dances sings and beatboxes all at once. No breathing necessary.

Another one that'd be great to check out is Kevin Olusola's cover of Down. He's Pentatonix's beat boxer, and it will blow your mind. Trust me you've never seen anything like it. ;)

He always gets a standing O. Each time. You need see them. They're live streaming a concert. Check their website or patreon.

Love Home Free….Adam is crazy talented. Another performer who is an amazing singer is Marcelito Pomoy. If you don’t know who he is watch him sing The Prayer on the Wishbus. You won’t believe what you are hearing. That’s all I will say….don’t want to give it away. You will be blown away. Watch soon. Please and thanks! 🔥🔥🔥🔥

Even college Adams instrument of choice was the trumpet!!

This BLEW ME AWAY when I first saw this video. 😊😊😊😊😊

Adam Rupp did teach himself to be proficient in Drumming so he could get the moves correct he is not a trained singer AND yet again he taught himself to sing better he is a Tenor. In older clips live shows Guilty pleasures He taught himself Korean. There is nothing ANY of these guys can't do but Adam Rupp is special in his capacity to learn new things all the time. World Class beatboxer yes but just plane World class.

AND he and his brother Chris actually founded the group too!

Next? Try "9 -5 beatboxing breakdown". You just scratched the surface of the talent these gentlemen have.

How about reacting to their newest one-Unchained Melody? It's great!

❤Adam

Great reaction. I’m glad that you finally reacted to Adam. There are a few drum solos but this is one of the best ones.

Great reaction guys! But, if you want to see what Adam does now check out youtube channel wbish3 (Adam Rupp solo from 2/17/22). Sound quality is the best. Thanks!

They all have amazing talent. But, Tim has a new CD that is just him layered over himself. it shows off his range and talent for singing like nothing else can. I stongly recommend you go and listen to it.

Thank you for reacting to this!!! ❤🔥🔥

Please do MY CHURCH will love thanks

Beast ❤

Some one mentioned Story Time with Tim. There are several of those, done at their live shows with the crowd's enthusiastic approval. Check those out, starting with (my faves) Watch Me (Nae Nae) and Natemare. And yes, that's spelled right. The guy's name is Nate aka Potato.

I like youre reaction!!! Adam isent an Alien he is a freak of nature!!! If you whanna hear and see a Alien you should react to Dimash Qudaibergen! He is called Alien for many reasons. He Sings in over 7 oktaves and in 14 Languages playes 7 instruments that we know of and are doctoring in music!!! He started music school at 5 years old and told the teatcher that the piano was out of tune!!! He is 28 years young know and comes from Kazakhstan! When he was 22 in 2017 he was invited to compete in a Chines contest called "Singer" against well known and older Chinese artist contestents! No one knew him then. After episode 1 he was know al over China and outher countrys and got the nick name "imported little brother"!!! From episode 4 he was a mega seleberti in China!!! His first song was SOS in french his secound Opera 2 in Russian third in english and forth in Chinese (and he learnt Chinese in less then 1 week)!!! From the moment he got on stage people was saying he looked kinda like "Terry Lin" a well know Chines artist that was called a aline before Dimash was! They kinda have the same base in voice to! After the first line of singing they was so stuned that they dident know how he could sound like that!!! After half the song they just shook there head in dissbelife and just woundering HOW!? It isent possoble to sing like that!!!! Also this song is about 1/3 of what he can do!!! Well thats the start of it...hihi this rabbit hole is huge and takes you to places you never have been in. His music videos is awsome and like movies!. If you dont belive me check with al his fans that Dimash calles "Dears" becouse we are like a dera familey member to him! Also when he was little boy he draw him self on a big stage with al elecronic ecuitment and instruments needed with a lott of fans!!! He has many many fans a round the world. Also he is as humble, loving, fun and recpectfull as a human as he is as good! He alswayes thanks everyone around him after every consert or music video or anything els he does! Every time he getts a reward of sorts he alwayes thanks his Dears!!! What artist of tuday does that!! Well besides Home Free. I whish Dimash and Home Free would do a song togheter!!! I think thats the onley category of music he hasent done jet!!! Also to have Adam to learn sounding like a Dombra or a Kobyz!!!!! Here are some links for you.. Episode 1 : 'SOS D'un Terrien En Detresse' (A Soul's Plea For Help) In French. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-cCwiZdFz63w.html Episode 2 :'Opera 2' in Russian! The best moment in this show was just after Dimash started thanking everyone and saw his father there. He didn’t know he was there. Just after they got out of that room Dimash turns to his father and asks if he did good! When Dimash was gonna go in to the other contestants he again turned to his father and asked him if he done good! That’s the kind of man he is humble, loving and respectful. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-hPjEUoPg-ag.html Episode 3 : 'The Show Must Go On' In English You have never heard it like this! ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-2P8QywsRRzQ.html Episode 4 : 'Late Autumn' In Mandarin!!! He learned this song in 1 week in mandarin to thank the warm welcome from the Chinese people. Gloria Wu's channel has back-story on what the song is about. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-E_KJsN3g7eA.html Whising you a great weekend from Sweden

He is amazing! Home Free is amazing! Check out their fun ones...Butts Medley and Champagne Taste on a Beer Budget. (These are some of their older ones but hilarious!)

It's all laid out beforehand because it cuts down on issues. If you pay attention, the lights are coordinated with the timing of the arrangement.

There are several drum solo videos on RU-vid. You just have to look for them. He beatboxes while breathing and out. He does play drums as well as a out 10 or 12 other instruments. He is amazing. He taught himself about 20 years ago when he a d his brother de idiot to start an a capella group. Here is another drum solo. 🥁 ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-lGE_t6la1z0.html

Adam is a 3time world champion beatbox.

I always pictured his parents asking "Why the hell did we spend all that money on drums if you were just going to use your mouth?"

His nickname is freak of nature.

Lol! Peace, Love!

He's got more

Adam has a new one recorded this year he has improved since he did this one you just watched is from April of 2015.

Live version of "9 to 5", they all beatbox. It's great

ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-u5c4Ci0gOxI.html Here's Adam's solo I videoed Saturday 2/19/22 at their latest show. They are now calling his solo a beatbox/drum solo. In this one he uses looping and more light show effects. It's awesome to see in person. I think it's been a few years since but Adam has been Beatbox World Champion twice! He's also a big gamer. If you watch there Quarantine video you will see his collection in the background.

Not sure if someone commented already that Adam has won the World Championship in beatboxing twice. He is amazing!

Thanks for this...this is an older video...you should check one from this year...he uses a looper and you actually get to hear his beautiful voice too! Look for a video by wbish3...she has many from current shows and hers have the best sound and clarity! Adam does this routine at every show....I have seen it live and it's even more amazing!

👍👍👍

Adam can actually play real drums he learned how so he could make his beatboxer drums sound so real they blow you away.

How do you get that many 1 in a billion musicians in one group? Adam has defined a new border to the possibilities of homo sapiens.

"Butts Remix" of course. They have a short version of Queen's "Bohemian Rhapsody" I LOVE. Maybe throw that in with a reaction to one of their longer songs. They really kept spirits up during quarantine by cranking out a TON of videos they shot and recorded separately and sent off to their team for editing, but their "Quarantine" song really captured the mood of the time hilariously.

I believe he learner to play drums so he could be more authentic... I just wonder how he can go that long without breathing!! He just finished the first part... he's just getting started!! If you enjoyed this, you'll really like 9to5 Breakdown... incredible. Another great drum solo is at Tifton GA 3-18...three years later and he's added to his repertoire.

Adam is a 2 time world 🌎 beatboxer champion!!

Yeah😄

There is a psrtv2 of Adam doing his xoice sounds

Oh man, I was waiting for you guys to react to this one!! So much fun!! Ty.

He can play the drums he also plays the trumpet. This is what happens when you dedicate your life to perfection. And he breathes through his ears! ;-)

Thank you ^_^

He learned to play drums to make himself a better beatboxer.

NEW SUB. YES, HE PLAYS DRUMS, HE ALSO PLAYS TRUMPET, KEYBOARD, BASS GUITAR AND LOOPER. YOU WERE MISINFORMED, THEY ACTUALLY WON THE SING-OFF IN 2013 YHE YEAR AFTER PENTATONIX. YOU CAN SEE ALL OF THEIR PERFORMANCES ON RU-vid. THE FIRST EPISODE WILL ANSWER A LOT OF YOU QUESTIONS. HOW THEY GOT TOGETHER ETC, ADAM NOW HAS RECENT CONCERT SOLOS [USING HIS LOOPER ETC.] IF YOU CHECK OUT A CONCERT OF THEIRS OF MAN OF CONSTANT SORROW [GREEN LIGHTING] BIG SURPRISE TO IT, THEY ADD TO IT IN THE MIDDLE AND AUSTIN DOES A HARMONICA DUET WITH ADAM.
