And remember, that was 9 yrs ago!!! Imagine how great he is *now*! 😳🤯 He also beatboxes their entire concert and does his solo partway through! The man's not human! People have asked him how long it took to learn his craft. He always answers, "I'm still learning!" 😉👍 Believe it or not, his drumming is even more realistic and precise now. He truly is amazing.
I wish I knew who said this originally, but: "People are always saying Adam Rupp's beatboxing is super amazing. But apparently it's considered pretty average on his home planet." (This also explains your question about breathing, btw. We're pretty sure his kind has gills.)
Yeah that’s what I can’t understand….how does he breathe??? I guess he inhales and exhales while doing those sounds but how??? Adam is a marvel. Super talented and he does a solo at every show!!!! My goodness!
You might want to check his newer drum solo where he uses a looper station to layer some of the sounds. What more can I say he really sounds that good. I think he gets better every year. He and homefree never stop amazing me of all the things vocally all of them can do.
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.
Austin Brown will be going live on all platforms on Sunday Feb 18 at 6.30 pm central time to explain why he left Home free, just thought I would let you know.
And that was back in 2015, he's only gotten better, cleaner and expanded his repertoire a bit!!! Adam is one of a small group that can beatbox on exhale... and inhale. LOL, the things he can do with his mouth (Austin [along the way]) Be Safe
Breath Control is really hard, but key. As a former professional sax player, you take very quick, short but deep breaths. It’s tough. I also had to learn what is called “circular breathing” where you breathe in through your nose while exhaling through your mouth at the same time. That took me years of practice. Yes, Adam is just “sick” on his performances. Great reaction from a loyal Subscriber. 🎷
The incomparable Adam Rupp--beatboxer and vocal percussionist extraordinaire!! Home Free's secret weapon❣️🎼🥰🎶❤️ I don't know that anyone has ever actually publicized Adam's range, but I sincerely believe his is the widest vocal range of all the Home Free fellas 💕 And if you want to get a good dose of our amazing HF beatboxer singing, check out "Guilty Pleasures Hilariously Derailed". It's a longer video but SO worth it!! #HomeFree
Beat boxers have a technique called "ingressive phonation", which basically means making sounds while breathing in instead of out. It has two main uses: making deeper bass sounds than the regular voice can do, and getting air into the lungs without stopping the flow of sound. You can see a particularly clear example from Layne Stein in VoicePlay's cover of Enemy (at 1:58), but a lot of beat boxers do it, and _presumably_ that's how Adam was breathing during the long no-break sections here, though I'm not sure which of the sounds he was making were done that way.
I don't know how many times I've watched this performance by Adam, but every time, though I KNOW what's coming - every beat and every sound - I am STILL so impressed I just smile and shake my head. Thanks for your reaction to it! Keep em coming! #HomeFree #AdamRupp
This is my fave because it's the first recorded (I think it is!) and without a looper. I keep sayin' he should make a dance album!! I'm so glad you reacted to this 😊
9 years ago and he just keeps getting better. Nowadays he uses a looper to beatbox, sing and harmonize with himself and it's mesmerising. If you ever get the chance to see Home Free live, go!
