Its hard to choose when everyone is getting really good these days
heliums gbb wildcard 2023 (2nd round) and probably azel-demuth
helium round 2 wildcard or hiss - rainbow
in 6:43 you probably mean tag team beatbox. A good video to analyze in that context is Jairo's wildcard for GBB 2023. Would love to see your reaction on it :)
alem plays the drums really well so no wonder he's good with rhythms
Well that makes sense
He also plays handpan which is also sick and completely rythm based
vouch for d-low kickback battles
Or, if you want to see some amazing live beatboxing with a focus on variety and textures, try D-Low: Sound Sketch (Alton). He has a broader variety of sounds, paired with an obsession for accuracy. Not to mention that he's the beatbox GOAT!

dont worry about rewinding, most of the people watching this are already interested in beatboxing and have probably watched these videos 10 times already
True
Well said lol.Esh🔥👍🔥
Alem is essentially the last of his generation of beatboxer as he entered competition fairly young and resembles his predecessors more than those his age and younger and keeps the "basics" (meaning drum kit sounds) as completely core with less bass/bass drops though he is noticeably more musical than most his predecessors but less so than the body of as he dubs them "new school" beatboxers
Its weird when we call them old school but in truth they are actually still kinda young just kinda show how rapidly the scene is improving
D-Low: Sound Sketch (Alton) is a masterclass in a much broader variety of sounds doing some metric modulation. It helps that D-Low is pretty much the beatbox GOAT!
yes we need the goat!
I agree with him seeing Dlow next, but I would rather him react to his kickback battle compilation
Similar to how it is in the rap scene, "biting" is very frowned upon in the beatboxing world and originality is extremely appreciated. While there are the basic kicks, snares and hi-hats, there is also an incredibly large and continuously expanding pool of popular "meta sounds" (basses, different snares, special sounds etc).
These are usually at some point invented by someone, then learned and spread by others. The unique combinations and applications of hundreds and hundreds of sounds and patterns makes up ones individual style which - like in every other field that involves creativity - develops over time.
I've been beatboxing for 13 years and consequently have witnessed the very evolution of the beatboxing scene and its inhabitants. It is absolutely amazing how discoveries of new sounds and techniques quickly influence the entire scene and transform, expand and push the boundaries of beatbox and even music itself.
It is an absolute joy to watch your appreciation of our art form!
3:20 Beatboxers always refer to the drum, hi hat and snare as the basics (everyone should know how to do it) from then you can learn by yourself different types of bass sounds, either using your vocal cords or your lips. And basically the other sounds you learn depend on the style you go for.
Spot on. Inn modern times I'd also say spit snare and liproll have become pretty much standard sounds to learn too. Not that everyone can do them or needs them, but those 2 sounds are very desirable to bearboxers of all levels because of their musical timbre, whilst still being fundamentals I.e kick and snare. Wish I could liproll😭
@@wood-lee1832 lipsroll are actually not that hard, vocal stuff such as throat/chest bass, vibration makes me struggle much more
@@nagi4th160 alot of people find them difficult but it has become a standard sound to learn in the intermediate beatbox community. I've been beatboximg over a decade still can't liproll, reeps one has only recently learnt it too 😀
@@nagi4th160 vibration is one of my favourite sounds, not used by many though.
Fun fact, Alem is also a longtime handpan player!
alem is a drummer and hes also of the most technical beatboxers ever
You can't roll like this, let him hear it.
His mind will melt for sure. And bass electro
I always recommend this to people first experiencing beatboxing
I dont recommend it, it lacks analysis for percussion and rythm, idk just me
The kickback battles are really good for rhythmic composition. For example the winner, Dlow, used polyrythms a lot throughout the competition. which made the application of polyrythms in beat boxing more mainstream.
Loving your expertise and insight! A lot of beatboxers have an really good intuitive understanding of rhythm but not a lot are trained or understand the terminology. Keep it up!
I second the dlow kickback battle compilation
Actually if you want to hear a great Tag-Team(2 people beatboxing), I recommend watching Middle School, they are the most recent tag team champs and thus bring an insane level of beatbox to the scene
You can check out their routines like Headbang, You're M.S., No Time or Combat Rituals (I personally recommend Combat Rituals)
2017 mad twinz kinda went hard too ngl
I think he should watch "Uniteam vs Kotcha Beatbox Tag Team Semi Final" because Uniteam consists Alem and Alexinho which are both good in rhythms.
@@skrrtskrrt9288 true they would make a great reaction aswell
Alem is a legend and yet, you're still on the 1% of the beatboxing awesomness! There are artists that have been and are killing it in the industry that you should definitely react. Remix, Dlow, Codfish, Zekka, Mr. Androide, Jollux, Napom, Colaps, FootboxG and many many more, these are some of my core good ones!
There’s teams and groups of beatboxers that perform together, I’m not sure if by “do the exact same routine” you mean do the same sounds at the same time, then no, they usually take on different parts of a song.
On tag teams that's usually the case but there's a few groups that do double up certain beats to get a fuller effect, Sarukani for example does this: out of the 4 people during some drops drum parts are not exactly doubled up but close to it with usually a third person on bass duty (Rusy or Koeji) and another one on special effects (So-So or Kaji)
Beatbox game I think
3:40, there is. if you ever watch beatbox battles, you will probably see what is called a 'counter'. beatboxer A does a really impressive pattern or sound combo during his round, then beatboxer B will just copy it, an "i can do it too" kind of thing.
generally its percussion sounds or 'the basics' that are considered to be the first thing you need to get good at, sometimes, a beatboxer will discover how to do a new technique, then other beatboxers will catch on. a while back, a beatboxer called two-h discovered polyphonic techniques in beatboxing, when he entered gbb (biggest beatbox event), his opponent was a guy called alexinho. two-h's polyphonic was brand new at the time, and it got a good reaction when he revealed it on stage. after his reveal, it was alexinho's round, and he just straight up did it too. probably one of the best examples of a counter in beatboxing as it came as a complete surprise.
the best way to see the 'beatboxing beef' is to watch some gbb battle videos, people having their style used against them is an incredibly cool thing to see in a battle scenario.
i would recommend:
two-h vs alexinho
colaps vs zekka
king inertia vs helium
solid picks
Don't forget codfish vs bataco, that Lazer whistle counter was 🤌👌
im pretty sure berywam is the best introduction to group ensemble beatboxing, but a good duo is d-low and frosty if youre looking for a duo :) (love you getting into beatboxing, found you from anime music breakdowns so this was a pleasent surprise)
Let's not forget rogue wave. Arguably one of the best in my opinion especially when it comes to difficulty and complexity
@@captain_powow Middle School cleared them, so if you were to request a reaction to the best tag team, it would be Middle School
@@rofllmao7657 eh maybe they ARE the best objectively, but I've always preferred rogue wave. There's something about their routines that are just so much more replayable and fun to listen to. At least for me
@@captain_powow well you can say that Rogue Wave is more musical thus more enjoyable to listen, but for this guy in the reaction it seems that Middle school would bring more of a pleasant reaction, since they are extremely technical, clean and have a very nice structure to their beats and obviously those beats are really catchy(btw I advise you to rewatch Middle School gbb compilation to appreciate their routines a little bit more)
I would personally recommend D-low Kickback battle
D-Low - Sound Sketch is an absolute must. Or the SBX Kickback compilation. He is the most varied and talented beatboxer ever IMO.
Kickback compilation all the way
finally a percussions expert reacting to beats
So glad to have another person in the beatbox community! You're in it now lol
Would love to have you check out:
*D-low | Winner's Compilation | SBX KICKBACK BATTLE 2021*
Yes!!! dlow kickback compilation next!
you should check out Napom, he is the best of modern beatbox era. and saro's loopstation performances highly recommended.
I agree, Napom is wild
You seriously amaze me. All of you predictions video after video (I’m watching these from new to old) are spot on. YES. all beatboxers have different general styles and make unique things within them. This is technicality. Snares drums bases the technical of technical with percussion sounds and ALeM is the KING of tech. A world champ in fact. Also the “low froggy sounding bass” is called lip oscillation. And the “helicopter sound “ is a variation of inward drag and snares. Keep up the vids ! Love these.
Love these videos
Alem is actually one of the nicest and most genuine guys ever, he would LOVE to see this reaction to him.
In fact he may make a reaction video of him reacting to your reaction 😂😂
bro i would love for this to happen. How can we contact Alem lol
Hey tony, i love your videos and got to them through your beatbox reactions.
I´ve been beatboxing for about 4 years now ande would love to give you insight in the scene
and answer every possible question u could have over a skype call of some sorts.
Explaining technics, structures of songs or just talk about beatbox is almost as fun as actually doing it.
I love the way u break down things and hope for many more videos.
Much love from germany.
Bro with all the questions you have I just wanna say you have just joined the beatbox community , welcome 🎉
personally, best ensemble would be ya na ha, but they only have 1 song so far. berywam is definitely the most well known. plenty of crazy duos, but my favourite is hiss + alexinho - who cares
Yeah. Berywam is most known, Ya Na Ha is an upcoming favorite for many. Two of the people in that group are more so really good singers who also do beatbox nice, and the other two are really good beatboxers who sing nice. And one of those beatboxers is one of the most technical out there, Helium. It seems like he'll be the resident drum kit of the group lol
1:30 that sound is a chest whistle. It's basically a whistle that comes from the same position as a cough
3:18 there are certain combos that everyone learnes, such as the TkK (kinda like a snare roll) and BdB (kick rolls), inward Peh-K combos (snare doubles), drags (various combinations of inward and outward breath with different mouth filters applied). Some special are also really common, like inward/outward lip rolls and throat bass or inward/outward chest bass
Don;t worry about stopping a lot, its great to hear your insight. The beatboxers are amazing musicians and composers who have learnt from experimentation and from each other. It's really interesting to hear the perspective from someone who understands music theory and can explain and analyse what is going on.
As for the duet or tag team beatboxing videos you asked for, I would recommend watching JAIRO’s wildcard for gbb23. I think it’s undoubtedly one of the best performances when it comes to doubles
Good lord, he's gotten even better, hasn't he? Those double kicks are bonkers!
And for the two persons beatbox together, you can check Gbb 2021 Tag team top 10 drops!
6:46 Ya Na Ha just released their wildcard submission, it is 4 artists creating a track through beatbox and singing. this is what you want
I would say there isn't too much hate around taking techniques that people find and incorporating it into your own. I think thats why we have seen such innovation in beatbox over the last 5 years
Please do a collaboration with The Fairy Voice Mother. She's a vocal coach thats newly addicted to the beatbox scene like you, and she can dissect the sounds and tell you (to the best of her knowledge) how tey are veijg made.
It would be great content!
6:45 Yess it’s called tag team
Yes, there is a language and names for all the sounds. Just like any instrument. Many are borrowed from the sounds they emulate, most special sounds get named by the inventor. Cant speak for the beef as I dont have access to any events 😂🤷🏼♂️. Youre killing it. Love seeing musicians getting into beatbox.
All the beatboxers on this list are very precise and rythmic, with different drum based patterns.
Hiss
Show-go
Colaps
Skiller
Wing
FootboxG
Dlow
Napom
And you need to checkout the beatbox 4-man team called Sarukani
U forgot one codfish
@@shane35188 codfish is more of a composer than a drummer
@@shane35188bruh theres always that one dude that says "also codfish", bruh show them a video of someone pooping and they will say "codfish!"
@@IDontLikeHandIes so what who gives a shit you must have a pretty sad life going through every single comment just to see who mentions codfish
You asked about 2 beatboxers making a routine. Alem has a tag team partner, they are called Uniteam, tou should chem em out. So many drum patterns!
you'll enjoy this too - Rofu 🇯🇵 vs Rogue Wave 🇫🇷 🇨🇴 | GRAND BEATBOX BATTLE 2021: WORLD LEAGUE | Semi Final . its an amazing 2v2 battle
"That's very attractive to listen to." 😂😂
Ensembles:
4 people - Berywam
4 people - Ya Na Ha
2 People - Kotcha
2 People - Rogue Wave
2 people - UniTeam (includes Alem from this video)
The tom thum sbx showcase is, in Alems words, "a masterclass", should check it out sometime.
id recommend checking out dlow 2021 judge showcase or reeps one tokyo showcase, slightly longer videos but worth the watch, two of the best beatboxers in the world for the last 5 years.
I’d recommend watching Wing Showcase 2022 , that man is a beast
Dlow sound sketch is something godly. PLEASE WATCH
Roll like this plz!!
6:35 There's an entire category usually of beatbox groups: Think acapella but usually more oriented towards beatbox with some of the teams incorporating multiple layers of rhythm instead of vocal harmonies, I'm partial to Sarukani because of this more rhythmic focus approach but I'm sure many others will have recommendations as well.
It's amazing in beatboxing. Even the basics can be what an individual artist can focus on to create their own sound. A general usage of not nessesarily a "certain skill set' but a certain noise. Similar to how drumsets can sound different depending on brand or tune. Maybe have a look at some of the GBB beatbox circles from 2018/2019 to see some of this uniqueness!
Sounds like high-hat's, snare and Kick are what most people tend to start with, from there it can grow in; speed (from 4/4 to 16/4) , tone/tune and quality.
The Bass is a tricky one because artists have a full range of quality basses that can take years to hone. With already a deep understanding of certain Bass qualities the throat/mouth can create from things like Mongolian throat singing.
Once this basics line is accomplished, every beatbox artist branches out into their own sounds and creation, using either what others have found or creating a completely new variant that suits the sound intended. symbols, electric noises, alien noises, zippers, whistles and so much more to fill in a create a mix of complexity and consistency.
Things like whistles can be seen in: HEARTZEL | GBB 2021 World League Solo Wildcard.
The element of beatboxing that I think is most profound is the fact that it is all human (excluding loop station and mic eq). The fact that every human is unique mixed with all the sounds one can make creates an experience of freshness and differentiation even if you are just a beginner!
Thanks DrullRollTony from exploring this wonderful rabbithole!
yo, not going to lie, you probably will really like the ice GBB 2023 solo wildcard round 1 , he is crazy, even alem was amazed at his crzy patterns
Damn, these are so impressive.
You should check out Napom's track called "Swing" and maybe Hiss's "Skeleton Dance". Both beatbox songs have great rhythms
ALem is a legend. A true OG.
Alem’s highest achievements are world vice BBX champion 2012 and world BBX champion 2015, tag team world champion 2015 with beatboxer BMG, 2019 GBB tag team champion with beatboxer Alexhino, French solo/tag team champion 2013 tag team with BMG
Yes, there are a bunch of sounds that everyone knows and uses and there are some sounds only the people who invented them use, like the dlow zipper or the 626 effect which stitch invented. And copying is a thing almost evey beatboxer does since it helps them counter other beatboxers when battling them, one time a beatboxer called two h who invented a double voice sound and he only showed it to two people, one of them was Alexinho who learned how to do it only by listening to it and used it against h has in a battle a few weeks later
I feel like DrumRollTony has all the tools to be a dope beatboxer... BTW There is a tagteam called MadTwinz who are twin brothers, and they are super synced up in their routines.
i think its time to start watching some battles, there's definitely some beef going on there lol.
they counter each others beats etc
Alem is insane ❤
You should 100% listen to "If Only" By His, Alexhino, River and Colaps, it's a crew routine and it's literally one of if not the best crew beatbox video in the world right now
yes they have categories like solo, dou, and team battles
You should check out "If Only" by 4 solo beatboxer coming together and composing a beatbox quartet routine same way any musician would compose a music track. It's beautiful!!!
Alem and Alexhino are a tag team that match each others rythms in a few of their sets, Look for any Uni-team video
Definitely listen to D-Low sbx kickback compilation! It is the most high level stuff around no doubt, especially since it was for a battle that he won :D
woah never seen this alem vid,he is so sick! god i love him. And there are tag team categories in the competitions and even 4 man crews now. someone recommended middle school which is definitely legit. alexinho and hiss-who cares is good. and i also thought of the swissbeatbox alem and dlow-its easy, since you have seen both of them beatbox now =D
the alem and dlow one seems pretty freestyle,barely any editing and is kind of silly and fun :P
Hi Tony ❤
alem is a drummer so yeah he have some skills there 💪😂
and yeah for the beatbox community is like the hip hop
you train you go battle and learn from other
All the pro beat boxers and most beat boxers practice the basics and fundamentals of kick bass , high hat clicks etc different snares . And as far as copying some will take a routine and spin it in their own image . New sounds are coming out all the time and other beatboxers will learn these new sounds and try to incorporate them . But there are plenty of different styles , techniques etc . A good example is ICE he I a new beatboxed to the GBB scene and new to most . I would recommend watching his 1st and 2nd GBB 2023 wildcard videos . Hope that helps in some way! And much love to the reactions! Looking forward to the next one.
More pls !!!
I knew you'd like Alem because he's a drummer too. You should watch his Werewolf Championship Showcase.
I'll preface by mentioning I'm a relatively new beatboxer, so I don't know as much as many others, but at 1:30, it sounds like a very soft whistle technique. I'm not sure which whistle, but another beatboxer who uses that whistle a lot is Zekka (so some call it the Zekka whistle).
3:42 there are definitely those who pick (what feels like) unoriginal styles, but there's not major beef I'm aware of for those using similar styles. If youre in a beatbox battle, you'll definitely be called out if you're doing some "same old" thing or trying to backpack off someone else's style, but other than that theres only minor amounts of poking fun at each other for not doing something new (which the community very highly values "new")
Yes, there are indeed beatboxing teams, and when they go unison with crazy-technical parts, it's just mind-blowing.
It's easy to think of beatboxing as kind of a quirky thing... but when you see two or more doing a piece together, or you see a couple of beatboxers trading sequences back and forth, and each can do the other's sequences _exactly_ like they do, that's when you realize it's a very serious musical instrument like any other.
The number of times I've watched someone like D-Low react to other beatboxers and go, "Oh my god, how did he do that!? I could never do that! Here, lemme try..." and then he just freaking nails it... xD
alem is a world beatbox champion and a vice champ back then against skiller
Yes there are tag teams. Check out the mad twinz. They are known as being the best and most in sync tag team there is. Also as far as beatboxers having signature sounds you should check out pash. He is one of the mad twinz. He has a lot of power and an array of signature or “special sounds.” Personally his my favorite beatboxer.
let's goooo you did it
did you see your shoutout in the start? LOL
@@DrumRollTonyReacts yessir appreciate it, made my day👊
6:30 Maybe 'Pwad and Helium - Atmospheric drum and base' Not sure if you mean a duo or just 2 leople using the exact same notes/technique.
I dont see anyone reacting to the video I mentioned besides the beatboxing folks.
So, it is a hidden gem.
React to waali hard control! highly recommend it and thanks for awesome input to this field,
Both Heliums Gbb 23 Wildcards are worth watching.. he gets also really technical with different patterns
So there are basics that every beatboxer practices, like "Boots and Cats". Then every Beatboxer builds upon this with their own styles. Also yes there are people who have very similar sounds and use them similarly as well, a good example would be Audical and Inertia.
Definitely need to check out Elisii as well! His combos are insane!!!
The sound list for beatbox is ever growing, and the contest to find new original sounds has actually created a culture where a lot of new beatboxers dont learn the basic fundamental sounds anymore.. at least not to this kind of level.
Its a shame really...
The basic fundamental is boots and cats.
B-t-k-t
Then people alter the kicks and snares to create new textures over the fundamental rythm sounds
Then you have melodic sounds and bass sounds. Some people do routines that are basically all bass tones with very little melody or rythm.
Alem is one of the best.. a true OG in a beatbox community!
yes there's a tag team beatbox I recommend watching "Mad Twinz"
Out of all of your questions, there is a phenomenal track out there..
Named (IF ONLY)
Don’t you dare to let it sneak far of your ears.
yep dude they have standard notations like btk tk and pf psh
Watch some of the videos of D-Low, he is kinda the GOAT now. Good in technicality like Alem and Helium but top in musicality aswell. Has a huge variety of basses and has a lot of unique sounds, also his beats are very well structured. I highly recommend you to watch some battles, because that's the only way to feel the whole vibe of beatboxing, D-Low is a god at battling, he can copy any beatboxer by just hearing them for a minute.
I can answer one of your questions concerning "standard repertoire" of sounds - short answer, the TL;DR, there isn't one.
There are dozens of different ways to make one sound, and even the best beatboxers in the world can't do every single one. Some come pretty close but even those rare few, on the whole, pick the same sounds over and over because it fits their own unique style. Some sounds, which some people call "basic", some pros call "impossible". Even the same techniques sound different depending on who is making them, because everyone has a slightly different larynx, mouth, tongue, nose, etc etc. Some sounds are unique, or a signature, to the individual beatboxer, usually because they invented them or made the sounds popular. There's an entire rabbit-hole to fall down here, so make the most of your time in Wonderland.
That is great info. Thank you!
@@DrumRollTonyReacts I'll link you one of my favourite performances - ruclips.net/video/fiHRlckFaOs/видео.html
It's a bit less organic because it's live looping, but it's an example of the sheer variety that exists in this sphere. Just the first track if you're not keen on doing the whole thing, it's about 5 mins long.
Well you're mostly right but I think almost every beatboxer can do BTK Kick Hi-hat and K snare (inward or outward). I think that's the base every beatboxer shares at the beginning but after that as you said styles and sounds vary a lot especially at the highest level.
@@enmanuel1950 Oh for sure, if you can say “boots ‘n’ cats” you’ve got those three covered. My point was more generalised, that a range of techniques that every beatboxer uses, doesn’t exist. I wouldn’t call three sounds a “range” exactly, but I’ll concede you also have a point.
Big recommend: The beatboxer Trung Bao, and his wildcard Venom.
it's probably time for you to watch Berywam. Be ready to be blown away by their talent
To answer your question about if a style is too close is there beef. The answer at a baseline is no but there is a bit of yes in there. Originality in your style is greatly valued so each beatboxer tends to have their own flair. However when you first start you will be a mix and mash of your favorites and that is accepted. At same time though many pros are similar to each other but what separates them is how they place their sounds and flow with them.
The, yes, part of that comes with their being a minority that really pushes originality, like a lot, and will put down beatboxer who aren’t ‘original’ enough. Also their is a hand sign bestboxers will do on stage for biting style. I’m not sure how to describe it in text.
One more thing is that sometimes in a battle a beatboxer will joke that their opponent isn’t original but no real beef between them like battle rappers.
the froggy noise is some form of lip oscillations but the terms I know (from 12 years of bbxing) are kicks, snares, hi-hats, throat bass, chest bass, vocal bass, vibration bass, inward bass, TONNNNNS of unique sounds like the BMG snare you hear often, its also referred to as a spit snare, a lot of names are given as a beatboxers name followed by the type of noise, the BMG snare was developed by a guy named BMG and named by the community to honor him. you've got Babelli bass which is again named after an older school legend in the community. I strongly suggest going through some of Kindos beatbox content ( ruclips.net/video/amTexZPJXts/видео.html )
voilaaa c'est la france que j'aime ça 🇫🇷🇫🇷
I think tkk technique is very common in beatboxing community like if u cant think of something to impress your friend just spam tks and go very fast
Ok so generally im not aware of any beatbox beef and as far as i have seen in the last year or so, every time a beatboxer invents a new sound that lots of people really like they do a tutorial on it. some of them i heard sell theyre technices. but you can learn most of the sounds from tutorials. im not a beatboxer my self but i learnd to do throat base and a bit of chest as well as inward base. its sometimes hard to get to know what a sound is called but when you know theres probably a tutoral for it on youtube.
3:14 exactly !
3:20 YES!!!! We do
Oh yes, definitely on the sounds and patterns everyone learns.
Everybody learns the basic kick, hi-hat, and k-snare. You can learn it too! Start off saying (rhythmically), "Boots 'n cats 'n boots 'n cats" and gradually remove the vocalization and you'll be doing a decent, if basic, closed-hi-hat 8th-note groove. It's not too hard to progress from there to an open sizzle groove by extending the sibilants, though breath control is harder for that.
Pretty much everybody also learns the 'pft' snare, which sounds crisper and more like a country snare, to the k-snare's pop/electronic sound, and/or the spit snare, which is more rock sounding.
Of course, you have to learn to make enough of those same sounds _inward_ and get them to sound exactly the same so you can string together a continuous groove and not have to stop to breathe all the time. For me (very much a beginner) the k-snare is easiest to do inward, so I end up doing "Boots'n (outward) - ca (inward) - ts (outward/no lungs)"
Everyone needs some kind of bass... the most common ones that are the easiest to learn because basically everybody does them sometimes growing up and in normal life, are fart bass and tongue bass (the classic pbbbbbbbbt sound for fart bass, and machine-gun sound for tongue base, sped up until it gains a tone rather than being discrete clicks). Lip rolls are much harder, because you've probably never done that with your anatomy before, but are very impressive. Those are the super deep bass notes you hear a lot. Once mastered, they also produce the cleanest tones out of the non-vocal bass options, to the point that someone like Gene Shinozaki can sound like he's doing polyphonic singing by doing such a smooth lip-roll it sounds like voice, and then harmonizing with it with vocals.
There are a few types of vocal bass as well... inward bass being the most impressive of those, which D-Low is a grandmaster of... though obviously not everybody uses that. Alem doesn't, for example, and he's one of the very best. I don't think he lip-rolls either.
From that point, you kind of start to specialize. There are basic patterns that are anatomically favorable for going fast. If you master those, come up with new ones, string them together for insane sequences, you're what's called a "technical" beatboxer. Alem is near the peak of that style.
Others are more musical and melodic, and focus on making songs rather than just beats/drum solo style stuff, like Gene Shinozaki.
Still others absolutely master the basics plus a couple of bass options, and perfect the sorts of grooves that get people jumping and dancing like mad. King Inertia is probably the very best at this.
As you go up the sort of "beatboxer tier list" into like, the lower-end of competitive beatboxers, you get a couple of types. Some absolutely master their category like no others, like Alem, Alexino, King Inertia, Gene... and others start to combine a high but less extreme skill level in two or more categories.
And then there's D-Low, who's a master of all three. He can just about keep up with the most technical fast beatboxers, has tons of musicality with a good voice and very good pitch, has gobs of groove with one of the strongest collections of bass sounds anywhere... _and_ he's a great battler who manages to project unconcern and confidence without seeming condescending about it, _and_ he's endlessly creative, always coming up with new songs and mastering new techniques, _and_ he works hard, _and_ he's good at the business side and has become so well-respected that he's often a judge... There aren't many on D-Low's level, if any. He has it all. He's even humble, to boot. He's one of those artists who you look at and feel like it's just not fair, heh.
