Creating a Basic Beatbox Beat
Beatboxer Andrew Gutterson demonstrates how to create a basic beatbox beat.
Transcripts
Andrew Gutterson: Hey, my name is Andrew Gutterson from Beatboxer Entertainment. Today, I am going to teach you how to beatbox. So far I have taught you a group of different noises starting with bass drum such as this, or the Throat Bass or the Techno bass drum which is. Then you have the closed hi-hat, you have the open hi-hat, you have the Inward Snare, you have the Outward Snare, you have the Kickdrum and you have the Chewy Scratch, you have the Vocal Scratch.
Now what I am going to do is I am going to teach you how to do a beat or I am going to do a beat combining all of the different noises and then I am going to teach you what you can later on when you become very acquainted with noises and these beatbox sounds.
So here I go. As you can see, certain noises go together really well. You can take a bass beat and a Kickdrum; you can take a hi-hat and a scratching. You can take a bunch of different sounds and put them together. It's your choice on how you want to do it, but from what I have noticed, I really like the way the Kickdrums go together or the Snares go together and just take it high and figure out what you like to do and what's comfortable for you.
Every single beatboxer has their own way of doing things. Every single beatboxer sounds differently. So not everyone is going to sound the same, not every beat is going to sound the same. It's up to you and your own creativity. So go practice beatboxing and enjoy.

i know how to breath while beatboxing if you know how to do the clap sound(its like a tut,tut,tut only you suck the air through the side of the mouth)you can do the clap sound while breathing air through your nose at the same time!if you can't do it,practice

that was amazing it really helps.. im gettin problems only on the throat bass.. if u could make it more easier it would b great + one more thin.. is there any warm b4 u beatbox????
Awesome!!! by danzel1000 at 01/17/09 01:04PM Flag
That was absolutely awesome!!! I have at least two months since i saw these videos from you. I train every day so i keep improving and to reach your level. These videos really helped me so much to learn how to beatbox. The only thing i have difficult to learn, is the chewy scratch. can't do it right, but as you said, it takes a long time to master it so i'll keep practising and practising every day, until i get it done to where yours is, or even better!!! Thank you very much for these videos.
Awesome!!! by danzel1000 at 01/17/09 12:57PM Flag

ive been beating boxing for about 10 years now and i noticed one thing you didnt tell people, which is probally the most important thing. which is how to breathe while beatboxing
Cool by Braden at 07/16/08 09:01PM Flag
Nice, but I think it requires a lot of training to master it. :)
