Adam brings what's needed to Home Free's songs to make them extra good but never overshadows just to show off. Same with Tim and his bass abilities. They all do a darn good job of keeping egos in check and putting the music first. We fans are grateful for that.
Adam usually does a solo in most, if not every, live concert. He studied trumpet in college, and it seems those skills came in handy as he trained himself as a beatboxer. I never tire of watching these videos of his solos -- they are so completely amazing. Thank you for shining another spotlight on a Home Free treasure.
Even though this is newer than the one that is most highly requested, it is still fairly old. He now has a looping station that he uses. What you just watched is what Adam does during every show. He gets the spotlight while the other guys go off stage.
Enjoy your reactions & your appreciation of Adam's great 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.
He is absolutely amazing. Seems like he can make an percussive sound you want - drum, cymbal, waves, wind, jet plane, harmonica, freakin' castanets. Can't get enough.
This is the first time I've seen this particular performance. If you really want to hear him in all his glory, check out his solo for the 2022 Christmas concerts. It's on RUclips as Adam Rupp's Trans-Siberian Orchestra.
He got his degree in trumpet, which explains his breathing. He also does live looping himself to a solo EDM piece. In the concerts there is a Adam drum solo part so he actually show of, it's absolutely wild to hear live
Home Free often introduces him as the "pulse and heartbeat" of the band (or as a "freak of nature"). He truly is amazing. I found a short video on y/t where he said how to do "no-monica". I get hypnotized watching his hands & his jaw and throat muscles. BTW, he plays trumpet (and has a degree in it, I understand) as well as piano, drums & a bunch of other instruments. He does about a 10 min. drum solo in every concert.
As ElizabethRoss-uj8rl mentioned, Adam does a "drum solo" during every concert (usually between 8-12 minutes long). That he does that plus provides the heartbeat of the group for their 1.5 hour long shows.... he's definitely a very capable beatboxer. There are plenty of Adam Rupp drum solo videos taken by fans at various HF concerts dating back to 2015 or thereabouts. Glad you reacted to this! Adam is truly a freak of nature and we love him for being so!
Wow! This was one of the best Fan Cam versions of Adam. He did a version of this at the concert I went to. I love how HF gives him the room to shine at each concert. 😻
He’s amazing, we saw them in LONDON this year he was brilliant as they all were, they are so natural on stage, they have fun. On a different note I don’t wish to offend any home fries. I just want to mention AVI has a new song out called healing thank you for the reaction and thank you for letting my hijack a little line 💜💜
Adam does a several minute beatbox solo in every show Home Free does. They know they have a talent that needs to be showed off. If no one has told you Adam was a Trumpet major in college.
Loved your reaction. Thank you for the experience. Now you’ll really want to see a more recent EDM-style performance. One of the best is "Adam Rupp Solo" on the LtKernelPanic channel, 12/17/2021. Of his Christmas solos with “Hark How the Bells,” a really good video is ““Drum/ Beatbox Solo (new) Adam Rupp/ Home Free- 12-3-22” on the wbish3 channel. The sound is much better than in the one titled “Rupp’s Trans-Siberian Orchestra.”
as far as i am aware every concert tour he has a variation of this solo he does. by the time i saw him in concert he had introduced a looper into their concerts and not only shows off his abilities but also what the looper machine can do.
when he points to his feet it's to show the kick drum which turns into a double kick drum his movements are accurate and his High hats are incredible I have a drummer friend that just saw him live last year and he still is talking about how Adam has it down even the accents all drummers use like rim clicks or the different ways you hit the high hat. He say's His mind was Blown because it took him yrs of playing to get those things down so they didn't sound out of place or over done. Adam isn't completely human he's something More. Glad you got to see even a portion of what he does.
Actually, Adam does get to show off during HF concerts. He does a 5-7 minute solo that is outstanding, often bringing the crowd to their feet with a standing ovation.
Interesting you mentioned circular breathing and trumpet players in the same sentence. It’s reported that Adam major instrument in his collegiate music education was in fact trumpet. There’s a video somewhere in their library where he picks up his trumpet and plays. Nice reaction.
All the guys are sooo talented but in my opinion Adam's talent is PHENOMENAL!!! He not only has a beautiful voice (although he doesn't like to sing lead) and beat boxes but he taught the other guys several instrumental sounds to fill their songs on stage. He plays several instruments and instinctively seems to know what sounds and music is needed in a song. Check out his arrangement of Do You Hear What I Hear. It is absolutely INCREDIBLE!!!! Also check out HF's version of How Great Thou Art where you actually get to hear Adam do a small solo that will send chills through you. Hearing that song is like listening to a heavenly chorus.
And there's a great short video called Leaving Adam out to dry on stage that shows what can go wrong with that. The laughing blonde lady is Jenika Marion, Tim's wife. Two other great short videos from the guys are Cooking with Adam and Home Free - Fat Bottom Girls. Just 24 to 34 seconds of fun.
When Adam does his looper station solo, his own song live, it's just super amazing too. Adam gets plenty of chances to show off his beatboxing with Home Free, all his drum fills, his solo moments in many songs, his solo show, and all his special effects. Take a listen to their "Listen to the Music" and "Ain't Going Down (Till the Sun Comes Up)"
He does a solo performance at every Home Free concert (as well as beatboxing for the whole concert) and he's got even better since this performance which is several years old. Check out something more recent!
Adam has a beatboxing performance of about 10 minutes in every show. Pro drummers give him big kudos; appreciative of drumming realistically for the songs
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!! #AdamRupp #BestBeatboxer
He is the very best. When he joins in and sings with everyone it fills out the harmonies and leads to stunning songs that are favorites of most Fries. We have a request going trying to talk him into giving us a lead just once.
There is a video on RUclips that is HF singing “The Christmas Song”(chestnuts roasting on an open fire) in concert, Chance lead, and Adam does a trumpet solo. They do it in an old school style. It’s fantastic!
I believe Adam is the best vocal percussionist out there. He shines in every HF song but shows out in his solos at each live concert. I have a short video of him at a Tim Foust & Friends show where he's beat boxing and playing base guitar! Crazy talent.
Yes and thank you Lori for finding a better video than the older one that's been going around for a while. The sound is so much better and closer to what he really sounds like live.
Love it!!! Adam is a freak of nature. He is a trumpeter and does the circular breathing….I still don’t know how he breathes. He was pointing to his feet as he’s doing the bass drums as though he’s hitting the bass drum pedals. He is amazingly talented and he shows some of it in Life Is a Highway as well as other songs. 😍😄😃
Keeping in mind that this was early to mid 20tens... not long after the SingOff; the intent was to show/give sample of what he's capable of. In HF performances, Adam does a "block" (typically during "break") as "his" show; now-a-days it's much more involved. Many vids here on yt that shows what Adam does ... and damn he's an absolute "Freak of Nature". Check 'em sometime! Be Safe
Adam is so awesome. I heard he learned how to play the drums before he became a beatboxer. He is a champion beatboxer and has won many awards. He also has a beautiful tenor voice. You have to love him! Love your reaction! ♥
Awesome! We love what he does but can you imagine having a kid running around the neighborhood making all these weird noises. I’ll bet the neighbors thought they was definitely something wrong with this child.😂 little did they know that he was a genius.
Don't you just love these reviews where the reviewer fills almost the entire screen with their own likeness and puts the featured artist in a small p-i-p? Kinda says something about the reviewer's ego and motivation, I think.
D-low, Colaps, Napom, River, Alem, Alexinho, Skiller, Roxorloops, Dharni, Gene Shinozaki, Keny Urban, Codfish, all of them are Legend in Beatbox Community Adam Rupp is just an average beatboxer.
Adam is talented enough to win a world championship beatboxing competition, but he actually has never been in one. This is a common misconception in the youtube comments. No doubt he's a beast/alien/freak of nature and imo there's no one better at what he does. Just fyi ~ 💖🍟
Definitely good enough, for sure!! I believe that misconception got started quite a while back because, during one of their international a capella conventions with elite people attending, he was (at least) two years *voted best by his peers* (other beatboxers)👍💓 Don't know about anyone else, but you won't hear me arguing with them on that point!! 😁🤗

He is also an accomplished Jazz Drummer.
And Adam is the ethereal voice in many of Home Free's Angelic songs.

In Home Free's cover of "Listen To The Music" Adam really shows off more of his variety of sounds. It's awesome. Enjoy your reactions.

I´ve seen a some pro dj´s react to him one of them just looked in the camera and said -- well there goes my job 🤣🤣🤣

Oh, yes. I was at one of those Christmas concerts. Almost fell out of my chair when I realized what song he was preforming. No spoilers here.
I hadn't seen this one before. Definitely an older video. Adam is the heartbeat of HF, and is an ALIEN 👽!

I love his harmonica sounds. Reminds me of the Deep South blues.
His vocal range is incredible! It has to be for him to drop the bass like that and still make those high pitches.
Wow! This was one of the best Fan Cam versions of Adam. He did a version of this at the concert I went to. I love how HF gives him the room to shine at each concert. 😻

😍 Adam is phenomenal 🤯 Great reaction.🔥🔥🤠❤️
I saw HF live a month ago. Adam's solo was absolutely magical in everyway!! I haven't seen this video
We were at a Home Free concert in September in Utrecht and Adam’s solo was amazing. The roof came off
Like I always say, beatboxer extraordinaire! He is the best! ❤

Nick, I think you are starting to realize why we are such devoted fans to Home Free. they are all so incredibly talented

Never ceases to amaze me with the talent he has. Wish I could do that.
Ok this is now the third different "Drum Solo" from Adam I have herd. This man is insane.
Love This ❤
Adam has a solo in every live performance. The others use it as a short break while he's performing.
And there's a great short video called Leaving Adam out to dry on stage that shows what can go wrong with that. The laughing blonde lady is Jenika Marion, Tim's wife. Two other great short videos from the guys are Cooking with Adam and Home Free - Fat Bottom Girls. Just 24 to 34 seconds of fun.

I have had the great pleasure of seeing HF 5 times, and Adam never fails to bring the house down with his solo.
Adam is a world class beatboxer.
Adam has a beatboxing performance of about 10 minutes in every show. Pro drummers give him big kudos; appreciative of drumming realistically for the songs
He can't be fully human..... 😂❤
A skill developed through hours, days, years of concentration and practice. So impressive!
Man, he is amazing. You need to see him in concert. Unbelievable!
Master of the nomonica too!
He is also hitting the high hats too
He does it every show

#AdamRupp #BestBeatboxer
Adam is such a phenomenal beatboxer! It’s incredible being in the first row and feeling those bass tones. He and Tim’s bass can rattle some bones! Lol
He does that every concert with Home Free
He is the very best. When he joins in and sings with everyone it fills out the harmonies and leads to stunning songs that are favorites of most Fries. We have a request going trying to talk him into giving us a lead just once.
Yes very incredible!! He plays the trumpet and would love to hear him play it someday!! 💝💞
He has played it in previous Christmas concerts. 👍🤯🎺🥁
There is a video on RUclips that is HF singing “The Christmas Song”(chestnuts roasting on an open fire) in concert, Chance lead, and Adam does a trumpet solo. They do it in an old school style. It’s fantastic!
Wow, not the video I was expecting, this one is a lot better! Thanks Nick.
I believe Adam is the best vocal percussionist out there. He shines in every HF song but shows out in his solos at each live concert. I have a short video of him at a Tim Foust & Friends show where he's beat boxing and playing base guitar! Crazy talent.
Kevin Olusola (Pentatonix) beatboxes and plays the cello. 🙂
Yes and thank you Lori for finding a better video than the older one that's been going around for a while. The sound is so much better and closer to what he really sounds like live.
You need to check out his drum solo from 2015.
Thanks. Haven't seen/ heard this 1. Crazy good.
Thanks for listening
Love it!!! Adam is a freak of nature. He is a trumpeter and does the circular breathing….I still don’t know how he breathes.

Adam shows off more ofhis variety of sounds
Someone said Adam is an old school beatboxer.
Almost seems 'other worldly'...tremendous talent.
Actually, I believe Adam IS a trumpet player.
Adam is the reason Home Free is the best A Capella group in the world. All of the A Capella groups have fantastic singers, but only Home Free has Adam
l think him and michael winslow should do this as a battle it'd be epic
I've been hoping for the same
He majored in trumpet in school.
Adam is so awesome. I heard he learned how to play the drums before he became a beatboxer. He is a champion beatboxer and has won many awards. He also has a beautiful tenor voice. You have to love him! Love your reaction! ♥
Awesome! We love what he does but can you imagine having a kid running around the neighborhood making all these weird noises. I’ll bet the neighbors thought they was definitely something wrong with this child.😂 little did they know that he was a genius.
Can you say how old the video is that you reacted to? Thank you!! 🤔🤔🤔🤔
I think Tim once said Adam could hit a lower note than him.!
Hi nick I just loved you ❤
Adam is actually rated as the #1 best Beatboxer of all time & now you can see why can't you? 😉
Reeps One - Tokyo live 😎 please react to the beatbox legend
According to Tim , Adam has the lowest note of the band !!
Adam is a world champion beat boxer
