Beatbox is the original instrument.
-
It all comes from the voice,
-
and today, we're going teach you
-
the three basic sounds of beatbox,
-
which make up the foundation of it.
-
Now, the kick is the kick drum on the bottom
-
and it makes the loud bass sound.
-
It sounds like this.
-
Alright, you hear that?
-
How do you make that sound?
-
Well, the way you make that sound is
-
you take a "p" and you take a "b"
-
and you mesh those two togehter
-
and it's going to give you
-
what we refer to as the kick drum.
-
Pb Pb Pb
-
So, alright, so you try this:
-
Pb
-
Pb
-
Excellent!
-
Now, the next sound is the all-mighty snare sound.
-
And the snare sound is basically
-
taking a "k" and an "a"
-
and putting those two sounds together.
-
And it sounds like this:
-
Ka
-
Ka
-
Ka
-
Alright, so just try that, really easy.
-
Ka Ka Ka
-
Now, the last sound is one of my favorite sounds.
-
It's the hi-hat.
-
The hi-hat's my favorite sound
-
because it's always at the tip of your tongue.
-
You basically take a "t" and an "s"
-
and twist those two together
-
and it's going to sound like this:
-
Ts Ts Ts
-
It's great, right?
-
Alright so, you put all those together
-
and you can mix some really amazing, wonderful music
-
that you can do anywhere.
-
You can do it in the car.
-
We can make beats in the car, right?
-
So, we can just drive though the city,
-
making a beat,
-
and it sounds something like this.
-
Let's speak to them.
-
Alright, so that's how you can actually
-
speak to each other.
-
Now, those are really complex beat and patterns, right?
-
So, we're going to do a few beat and patterns with you
-
and you can repeat after me
-
so you can begin to learn these sounds, right?
-
So, check this out:
-
Pb Ts Ka
-
Pa Ka
-
Ts Ka Ts Ka Pb
-
Pb Ka Ka Pb Ts
-
Ts Ts Ka Pb
-
So, we can take all of those
-
different rhythms and sounds,
-
and we can jam with each other
-
by listening to each other, right?
-
So, right now we're just rolling around,
-
we're going to drop a phat beat,
-
maybe see if we can find some friends, alright?
-
Check this out!
