beatbox tutorial - Inward Snare (Ben McLain from Sonos)

[kiddeddx]

hey when u do it for da first time can we get it or does it take a lot of practice or a lil practice

[bennymclain]

@kiddeddx It's definitely a muscle, so in the beginning it may be slightly weak, but the more you develop and practice it the stronger, louder, and cleaner it will be.

How do you get the larynx to move? I can do light 'k' and it works..but I'd love to learn to pull this off. it would make for a trick not everyone I know can just go into.

@SamUeLFall I would hop in front of a mirror so you can see when you're doing it and when not. Think of trying to lower the back of your tongue.

@bennymclain *same guy, different name*

turns out, I've actually been doing it..at least mostly right. haha. Just didn't know because I hyperfocused on the details in what you were saying =] thank you though so much. GO SONOS. So stoked for the record!!!

What would you suggest for a beginner to start off with? I've never tried beat boxing before but watching you makes me want to give it a shot =D

[bennymclain]

@nicolecoffee2004 I would try using an outward k. Very easy to do and still clean.

Umm... This was AWESOME. No wonder why ur junk is so tight. U apply actual anatomical knowledge to the science of it. Not just "Suck some air in ya and make this here sound and stuff." Great friggin job. BTW SONOS is the ISH.

:D Awesome video!

Possibly teach us the outward snare afterwards? :( that's probably the one that's the hardest for me and I believe it completes the 'beat-box' feel for a person to do the outward snare right.

>< The tutorials on youtube are just. . . so different when it comes to the outward snare. I'd love it if you could teach it a bit :)

Wow, even with that great explanation, I don't think I get it... maybe I need a mirror.
