can you imagine this voice after he wake up? Would be like a thunder
+Amauri Jr. Omg you gave me a gave me a goood dose of laugh with this comment, hahah
Amauri Jr. bob wills
Amauri Jr. it already is thunder
So hard I'm surprised he lived to tell the tale! ;-)
Or when he’s sick
Subwoofer just inhaled my cat
lol
LMFAOOOO
Not again
How the Fuck is this not top comment. Holy shit, my wife and I just died reading that.
😁😁😁
This guy realllllly hit puberty
he beat the fuck out of it
He ran over it with a truck ;)
I'm almost positive he hit puberty at least 3 times..
in the womb
Robert Uhlman Yes, several times.
I met JD on a few occasions and heard him perform several times, his voice really was that deep. He could SING those notes, not just hit them. His voice was the most amazing I have ever heard. Others have since hit lower notes, but the vocal quality just isn't there, the closest I've ever heard to his quality would have to be Tim Storms. Even in JD's last performances before his death he still had an amazing voice. He will always be the greatest in my eyes (ears)
Yes....A note on here at G#0 is 1 key under A#0. 1 note lower than the piano. Plus in the 70s when he toured with Elvis Presley Elvis stated many times that JD could sing up to 4 keys lower than the piano..
Paul Downing could go down past the first note in bass clef!
NOT on that killer Bosendorfer concert model. There are seven "out the bottom" keys designed for bass supporting sympathetic resonance. You should hear the lowest one played. It sounds like you could almost count the string cycles, if you were looking at them. Down into large pipe organ ranges.
@@MrJdsenior isnt the lowest key on a bosendorfer more or less not audible? its so low that its more of a feeling than a note, you can only hear the overtones.
@@Draeneiwolf It's way down there, that is for sure, getting into large organ pipe frequencies, but not even close to the bottom of them (about another octave, I think, for a 64' pipe). You pose an interesting question, what we hear, vs. what we feel, etc from very low notes, or frequencies.
I used to play around with signal generators when building speaker cabinets to try to quantify what was going on over frequency ranges with changes in volume, stiffness, baffling (yes, sometimes it was ;-) ), port lengths, (ports are needed with some drivers to raise the low end cabinet resonance, but never great, IMHO), stuffing materials/ amounts, etc. Unless you have a well made speaker and cabinet, down in those frequencies you don't get much output, as it requires a large area to couple very well to the air to generate the large, long pressure waves that are those frequencies.
As you say, a good bit of what you get as actual sound about 30 hz down is harmonics (some horrific sounding ones) and mechanical noise from the cabinet walls, cone distorting, etc.
I currently have a VERY good Velodyne F1500 subwoofer in my audio system. It is servo fed back around an accelerometer on the cone to give accurate cone positioning. The free air resonance of the cone is something like 4 hz, it has a monster magnet (25+ lbs), a goodly amount of driving power, and the mechanicals, meaning cabinet, speaker basket, etc. are exceedingly well and stiffly designed. It gets so low that placement is critical in the room, it tends to create standing waves that create big ugly sounding peaks in the room "exciting it" on every axis. I've found pointing it diagonally well away from walls seems to work best, but the problem is inescapable, really, just "improvable".
It will produce 106db at 20hz with less than 1% distortion, overall, more or less, and reproduces double basse, pipe organ pedal, and contra bassoon sounds that actually sound like those instruments, rather than just 'thump', like many 'good" subwoofers I've heard.
The problem, I suspect, if I were to try to test how far down I could hear it, is that I would somehow have to isolate my body from the environment so that I don't interpret "feel it" as "hear it". A couple of times I've heard recordings where VERY low frequency (sub audible) tones were introduced by, probably, things like blowers in AC units or organ blowers slightly out of balance transmitting through the floor and into a not well mechanically isolated microphone (hence all the spring mounts you sometimes see).
You don't really hear anything, but after a while it starts to affect you, almost to the point of discomfort, and I would describe it as unease or pressure...but those are both just terms like soaring and crystalline that commonly are seen describing sound systems, they don't really describe anything. ;-/ The only reason I knew what was happening is when I tried to figure out what was going on I could see a LOT of cone movement at frequencies you could almost count...WAY below anything you could possibly hear, easily at or under 10 hz. So there is no doubt in my mind that at SOME point, hear gives way to feel. I suspect measuring exactly where that point is might be next to impossible, but a range could likely be quantified, with the right set up.
So to answer you question, from personal experience. I don't know, but it would not surprise me a bit if those frequencies are very close or within the ranges where that transition occurs. I guess I could have just said that...don't know...but hopefully reading all that gives some insight into how you might go about determining the answer, which I suspect is somewhat different for different people, and maybe even different sources and environments. Could be fully of crap, though. Wouldn't be the first time. PS When my daughter was little she named it the Cyberwolf. The name has stuck. One time one of the chandelier bulbs went 'high order" where the filament shorts somewhere, and they get very bright and are not long for this world. I walked over and cranked the sub up, for grins (this things will rattle plates down in the display cases, rattle windows and walls, etc. at that level...I certainly don't listen to it there) and it popped the filament. Any time a bulb existed this plane of existence in that manner, the kids would say "Crank it up, Dad!". Stupid stereo tricks, I guess.
I wonder how bass singers sound when they wake up. Lol
Missy Wiley Actually not much different than in their mid day :D
Missy Wiley it usually lowers my speaking voice to the 1st octave
I'm a bass singer and I do not recommend anyone hear my voice in the mornings :D Especially if you're a smoker like me, it gets worse. But that's not the worst, have you ever heart a bass singer when he gets cold? Now that's a situation u guys should run for your lives :=)
@@kovassb7050 shiiitt
Omg what a beautiful deepest voice I ever heard in my life J.D Summer was a greatest bass singer rip bro
My mom tells of when I was just a little boy of 8 or 9 trying to sing bass with JD and my voice hadn't even changed yet. What a hoot that must have sounded like. Seriously JD and George Younce were my mentors for many years. I can't wait to sing bass with them in Heaven!!!!
J.D. Sumner, was my father's most favorite musician. His ability is just crazy. His voice, if magnified, I believe would cause an earthquake. It is so awesome that he used his gift, to praise God.
+Luca Pearson You first, fucking weeb.
I think he morphed into a didgeridoo for a second there.
Rest in Peace John Daniel Sumner.He was such a Legend!I think he can sing awesomer than tim storms!
Wow, his voice is so low he sounds like movie special effects. The Enterprise just ran into a force field.
JD was certainly a unique one of a kind that is for sure! I am still in awe of him no matter how many times I hear these songs and low notes!
JD was blessed and had a gift from GOD and sounds good!!!
His voice is great for ASMR
Ya, I'm in a straight up coma after listening to this.
Literally who tf likes asmr
Casy Hubbard me
It's true. JD holds the record for the lowest note ever. He had a blast showing off too! I have trouble listening to him for very long because my brain starts to shake or something. Ha! Whew the tail end of this video almost rattles my head off!! ;-D
Oh my!!! Subwoofer almost exploded!
He was the greatest Bass singer ever, in my opinion. God truly gifted him with such abilities.
I saw him in concert in SC a dozen years ago. He registered 4 keys below the piano,
IT TICKLES MY EARS.
I'm wearing my awesome headphones and this is just amazing. JD is just the best bass singer ever. Period. :)
Lol headphones. Your not gonna get these lows on headphones. He's in the 0th octave. You need a good subwoofer to hear these lows.
Logitech g430 plus I tested on my 12" sub. I can hear both, but of course I can hear more on the sub, but my headset can produce the sound good enough. I always do the sub for these videos :)
dalew101 no, he barely goes into the zero octave here. only a few of these notes are. and no, headphones can play this stuff, earbuds cannot. also, any note produced by a human will be audible on most sound producing devices, due to the way humans produce the notes.
i have my ear pods and all i can here is kebtnrmisjsntnr
+theoretical physicist Very well put lol.
The motorbike's singing again
6:05-6:11 actually sounded like some kind of low rumbling engine through my AirPods. This man was a legend
Requesting JD Summers dubstep
Sumners*
that would be fucking stupid
the man sings everything with natural voice. when he drops to a low note, there is absolutely no break from natural voice into vocal fry. Plus, if you hear him talk, its nearly an octave lower than any other people who claim to "sing" the same notes.
that's actually quite scary
I had the chance to see him in a tribute concert to Elvis in Memphis in 1987 and I took a picture of him just as he walked off the stage and he looked up straigh at me , good memory. :-)
JD had a stage presence that few others ever achieve. He could probably have made it as a stand up comedian. Ever hear the deadpan sales pitch he gives to sell records?
It's amazing. He keeps going down, down, down. And well before he's through dropping down there, you're certain his voice is going to pull it's punch and he'll give away the fact that he's frying it all. But it never happens---because J.D. Sumner is the only bass I think I've ever heard who could legitimately hit those notes in chest voice. At times in this compilation, he sounds like he's up against even his limits---and his voice takes on the timbre mine takes when I'm hitting my lowest.
That is just it, nobody does that style anymore..When I record I love doing the JD slide endings..I pride my self on keeping JD's style alive!..I wish I had the chance to see him live before he died..I didn't become a fan till after his death...I simply can't imagine what hearing him live would of sounded like..A lot of times basses do low stuff on albums then don't do it in concert but JD, from all the live recordings I have heard made a habit out out of shaking the floor! Great bass singer!!!
Saw Jd several times myself. They were always great concerts.
6:19
"He's breaking the speakerphone"
Elvis said that.
Jajajajjajajajajjaja
@@patrickmuhlberger1033 that's probably why it's in quotation marks
I heard “He’s breaking the speakers up”
I think what's amazing Adam is at the end of Rainbow of Love, i sing in a BarberShop Quartet and we all hear the bass singer often "slide" that last octave, but JD, no way, he's going 2 octaves and does it flawlessly, he makes that bottom end of that particular slide sound so natural. Thanks for all the bass videos as I'm a bass singer myself in a quartet, BTW: you sound great yourself, keep up the great work.
He can drive away a grown male lion with this notes! :-)) Gives me goosebumbs all over!
My headphones r tearing up .He sounds amazing with over ear head phones.
love an miss ya JD ! we all know how much Elvis loved you too....you are the best !
Man......I wish this guy and Peter Steele would have done a duet while they were still alive.
jd never met me but through his voice i learned to love gospel music and jesus himself.thankyou and thank god for your talent and heartfelt songs.
Surely the lowest bass singer ever so glad to have known him
Roger Allen The lowest is Tim Storms :)
Kharesz1 really? someone else who beleives that vocal fry bullshit. tim storms is not the lowest ever. by no means.
Kharesz1 Tim Storms is a lie
BigRedCatFTW Yep. Storms is a light bass ---- basso cantante---- or bass baritone and his voice is within the bell curve for functional singing range (male voice).
+theoretical physicist Yeah, when I read the Guinness record claiming 0.189hz (5.3 seconds per sinusoidal oscillation) I knew something was amiss. Besides being absolutely ridiculous from any respectable point of view, it's not sound anymore at that point. Sumner held the record and STILL has it in my book.
Our Elvis was lucky to have him, and offcourse JD was lucky to ! Rest in peace both of you. TCB,
The best of the best of the very best,how could anyone in the right musical mind compare JD with ANY other bass ever. He was incomparable, ask the best out there now, Joe Brown, Harold Gilley,Jeff Pearles,Kennemer,Storms et al will all testify to the fact that JD had it ALL,... in spades.
Scared for my subwoofer. What a guy.
my headphones are literally rattling :)
a blessing from God...what God can do no man can do
Amen; give *GOD* the glory!
JD.Voz um trator fenomenal Brasil
Gotta agree with you.
He never tried for a lowest note or the end of his range
he just showed how much he wanted to and at the end of the low side that he showed, it was done with a lot of power!!!
his voice... is making my headphones.. shake..
I've seen JD live, and yes, he really was that low. At times he had to hold back because it was a small church, and if he went full blast, the roof would have fallen in.
Basso Profundos are a different style all together than this type of singing. They can sing with more power but can't sing lower. If they could hit such notes and Vladimir Miller as well Ivan Rebroff can come close you will see that even their lowest notes get softer. Natural process of getting lower and lower...Much love and respect for the profundos for sure..Great singers!!!!
Bless JD soul
That is true. I have it! I have notes lower than that and the song that opens this video is lower than that. Way Down was the double C the song that opened this video was C#1 and JD regularly sang 3-4 notes lower than the piano during the Elvis years!
his voice is bass drops
I actually use this everytime I test my subs in my car or my bands p.a.! haha
one word...AMAZAZING
He sounds like he could sing Dubstep!
jesus fucking christ, his voice is like the Brown Noise. I literally almost shit myself while wearing headphones.
I talked to: J. D. Sumner, London Paris, Tim Riley, George Younce, John Hall, Ken Turner, Richard Sterban, Rick Strickland, & other uber-basses; heard many more in concert; have pre-digital-magic records of: Arnold Hyles, Seals Low Note Hilton, Big Chief Wetherington, Jim Waits, A. D. Soward & the Great Bill Liles. J. D. was UNIQUE! His speaking voice was the lowest ever. From ~ 1950-death, none challenged his billing: “World’s Lowest”. Not just LOW, he could sing smooth & soft or with POWER.
Tim actually broke the record in 2002 which was held by Dan Britton since the lat 80s and Tim's record was broke then he reclaimed his title last year at an astonishing 0.79hz. roughly the same frequency of the Ocean. J.D. however was in a league all by himself. Those guys may have gone lower but JD was better. JD's lowest note was around a D0.4 keys lower than the keyboard but its anyone guess what it was on his absolute best day.
That would actually make a good instructional video!! I wish I knew how to do those techniques but that is something I have always struggled with!
I know people who have seen JD in person and he was unlike an bass singer out there. A lot of basses won't use fry in concert because of a control issue therefor you won't hear low notes you hear on recordings but JD could sing a natural C#0 any time of the week and did so in most concerts. Listen to the clip I have of his lowest note and you will hear amazing control with a 27 second one breath slide. That is natural ability!
2:20 I saw a performance of this song live!
Hello fellow home fry !
6:05 low down!
I saw a show at an outdoor theater at Opryland many years age. It rained so hard that they could not power up the mikes out of fear of electrocution. The only group that came on stage to console the few hundred fans that sat in the rain waiting for the show to go on was the Master’s Five. They sang two or three songs; I was on the front row close enough to hear J. D. sing without amplification. Though not as strong a voice as Big John Hall, he was very good and as low as usual. None like him!
J.D. TALKED LOWER THAN IM STORMS COULD EVER SING....
Lol tim storms talks lower than jd...
Deathstroke nope. ever heard a recording of JD talking? hes much lower than tim talking.
J. D.'s bass is very deep. But Tim's bass is lower ;)
Wake yeah, but its all vocal fry.
Tim is all vocal fry and all of it is off pitch especially the low notes
@lowluvver
I couldn't of put it any better! Well said and very accurate. A lot of those basses would also tell you that JD inspired them and was an influence on their respective careers. To me, JD stood alone and in memory he still stands alone as the truest lowest of the low bass singers out there.
This is insane!! Love it!
Most of them have been out of print for a long time..These came from my personal collection that I have had for a long time! Its too bad that no one is bothering to try and re-release this great old music!
I was just imagining being awaked up in mid of the night with such a low voice...lol
Those guys that went in the world records had some electronic help .sometimes they got out of sync .j.D. Made it to B-flat below double low -C nobody has ever come close. JD even talked low.those other basses were tenors lol
I never saw J.D.wear scuba gear.
He got down to a G0, not just Bb0
@@hankkirby5386 E0*
Welp, I need a new pair of headphones....
I'm impressed cause I've never heard this in SASCE COMPETITION
Tim Storm break the world record that JD already broke years ago.If you are a real fan of JD,you`ll know that he holds the world record for the lowest bass singer.JD`s lowest note F#5 was only repeated by Tim and that`s why he holds the new world record.Secondly,JD is no longer with us,so he can`t hold the world record. Just listen to Tim`s interview then you`ll understand.He said that no one will break he`s record....only because JD is not there to hold the record with him.I know that JD had a unique voice and that`s why he will be the greatest bass singer of all times.Tim is good but...JD will always be the best,end of story!!!!!!
@ChangsUncle
That is what I have always said to people that says he frys those low notes. If he did they wouldn't sound like real notes and they most certainly do. JD was awesome wasn't he?
This is amazing!
This is how God would sound!
The best bass singer ever.
my daddy could sing bass like this, i can’t wait to hear his voice again!
The human subwoofer. Good grief.
I saw jd a year before he died and he shook everything in the arena
Just listen to his speaking voice -- I have NEVER heard anyone talk as low as he could! One thing he did do, though is he put his hands around the mic, in order to "focus"his voice to make it louder in the low range. He really was something!
the lowest note sounded like soda burp
I can hit that note after guzzling a litre o cola.
HIS VOICE IS SOOOOOOOO FREAAKING DEEEEEEEEPPPPPPPP LOOOOOWWWWWWWW
What a talent!
Great voice on JD
@Overfloable
It amazes me too! No bass singer could sing that song quite like JD did.
Such a great legend
He loved God, yes
J.D. sumner + sulfur hexafloride = the world's population collectively shitting their pants
Had to come by and see if my COVID voice could match JD. Nope, he's still got a couple notes on me!
He definetely has a lowest B-C flat notes of bass
J.D. is the lowest bass singer in the Gospel music. I want to sing that low note.
This guy didn’t hit puberty
He beat the crap out of it
... puberty hit JD Sumner
MY SPEAKERS ARE DIEING
Mine done blew.
World champion
sponge70 - I agree as I, too, am atheist but share the love of the beauty of this "old timey" music anytime. Don't have to believe in the words to appreciate the sound just as I have a French cassette tape (ageing myself now) that I don't understand a word of but do love the music. Keep listening.
Rest in peace old Subwoofer... xD
J D , you were the lowest and best singer. Can anyone please tell me how to get the low?
Rainbow of Love @1:50 really amazes me!
@thecoolestdad
I think it is Steve and the song is called You'll Never Walk Alone.
He´s like a male-lion dude! .-)
This guys low notes are beyond belief. I'm betting he worked his BUTT off to be able to do that...along with some likely really weird vocal fold geometries and sizings. Not sure how you tell a fry from a chest note but...OK...I guess I'll buy it...as it does sound different from the fry notes I've heard. And you need a REALLY good sub to even "hear" (actually feel) this stuff...it even pushes my F1500 Velodyne servo sub, which is designed specifically to get WAYYY down there (4 hz cone resonance, MONSTER magnets, really solid basket and box construction, servo feedback wrapped from an accelerometer on the cone back through the amp, etc) at very low overall distortion, and sold for a little short of 2K new. Best sub I've ever heard, anyway. But with my magneplanars it's hard to set the volume pot on it low enough to make them "play nicely" together. Thought of adding a fine tuning pot, or going to an exponential (may already be, haven't measured it) to help. The remote volume control quit, it was easy to tweak with that.
The greatest! Thanks Adam! man, we should do a duet sometime:)
@GooglFascists The rattle you hear is just fry. The male voice has three registers; modal, falsetto and fry. Fry is also called creaky voice.
