tuba beatboxing (Sousaphone really)

[fabmannatje]

youngblood brassband dude?

[Nigrescence]

For those wondering how it's done, you can do it by essentially humming while you play the instrument normally. That's how you can get two tones out of the instrument at the same time.

For those discussing the clarity of sound, I'm afraid to say that the technique itself does not lend to a clear tone very easily, especially in performance.

I can do this, but since I prefer beautiful, clear tones, I do not really like the technique.

[thedundy69]

dude how does he do that?

[sneakybeaver13V2]

@thedundy69 very easy. Blow air and hum at the same time... after that just put the buzz in. I've found this is the easiest way to teach people. I found out how to do it back in the 7th grade and have been teaching people how to do it ever since

[dogzy1000]

(o) (o) * drops ipod *.

[Vermilicious]

That's quite a performance

[mellowmooose]

[angelm123456987]

[allrealhiphop5150kid]

@angelm123456987 The fuck are you talking bout.? IT was a compliment.! NO one said anything bout him having a bad tone.!

[xxzhoutaixx]

@angelm123456987 what are you talking about... we aren't talking about a trumpet you want a fat sound on sousa...

[albear972]

[trombonepenguin]

@mrbones102 The internet is stupid. Anyone who is claiming knowledge over that must be of medocre knowledge and you obvouisly know better. Just sayin'. The dude on this video is amazing. I have a grad degree in low brass performance. I know what I'm talking about. just sayin.

[TheMicksChannel]

How in the world??

[JoeyWillNihalTrio]

that dude in the back is called a DRUMMER. and his last name is Mcintosh. i not L

[mikedaguy]

The dude in the back is SOOO high.

[stevenrmclaren]

Challenge Accepted...

[NDguy191]

his last name has 5 straight consonants. I find that odd.

[beerbu]

@NDguy191

Counting consonants must be one of your strengths.

[AlanEppie]

I can watch this forever.

[NDguy191]

Is that Seth Macfarlane behind him?

[2stroQ]

kinda like dubstep

[mrbones102]

"Trust me, I know what I'm talking about."  Anybody claiming certain knowledge over the internet must be retarded. Just sayin'

[IzlanderAlik]

"The Warrior Comes Out To Play," anybody???

[yellowtuwtle]

I attempted to play this on my sousaphone at marching band practice, its not the multi phonics that are hard, its the "crabscratches" that are. I honestly have no idea what he is doing on those parts :P

[ciaraduckie1994]

[natedog2004]

[TheAmazingEuph]

Even Jeff Handel was impressed.

[yourminer1997]

I play the tuba and i wish i could do that!!

[dlkravigs]

This reminds me of an album called "Frantic Squirrel" that came out almost 20 years ago by a French Tuba player named Francois Thullier. Beat-boxing on Tuba is just amazing!!

[tlqtint]

That poor poor mouthpiece ..lol good show!!

[Flenzenman]

Is the the tuba player from the YOUNGBLOODBRASSBAND?

I recognize it from a YBB song!

[btwtubas11]

[Theonlypokko]

I remember this, I played Star Wars with them 2 years ago. :D Was so epic seeing this live.

[sk8dood98]

@Theonlypokko do u know his name???

[Theonlypokko]

@sk8dood98 Not off the top of my head, but I searched it on Wikipedia and on their website, and it said his name is Paul Carlson.

[sk8dood98]

@Theonlypokko thanks

[Trombonechess]

@sk8dood98 his name is nat mcintosh and is the former tuba player for youngblood brass band where he does a lot of this stuff but in full band context.

[Olavo87]

[92DaKnight]

34 band hoes suck at playing their instruments

[trombonetubabassoon]

Multiphonics do not = Beat Boxing. Duh.

[tromdude]

@trombonetubabassoon he's creating a rhythm with his tongue, meaning he is actually beat boxing

[trombonetubabassoon]

@tromdude Qualifies but...Multiphonics. I've been a musician quite a while. Trust me, I know what I'm talking about.

[tromdude]

@trombonetubabassoon he's still beat boxing and doing multiphonics. I've been a musician quite a while too. Trust me, I know what I'm talking about as well.

[trombonetubabassoon]

@tromdude Ahh dude your name is cool! Maybe he's Multiboxing XD

[783r1]

[girltubaplayer77]

[Tubaking93]

[somedaysoon95]

@supersuperguy111 This chick does... but he's basically ruined it for me.

[123ROCKSRUS]

Talk about getting into your music

[TSDFurReal]

Am I the only one thinking him and Greg Pitello should do some call and response?

[toastinater55]

@pebblefrog196 flutes can kiss my brass

[ZoeySkosmo]

Lol I actually saw him a few years ago doing this. He did way better then

[pebblefrog196]

Where's the beatbox part? Nah, he's more of a "tuba DJ" lol. Flute players can actually beatbox.

[bryandar000]

@pebblefrog196 u saw that off of icarly didnt u?

[pebblefrog196]

@bryandar000 No, I saw it on youtube...

[bryandar000]

@pebblefrog196 im talkin about the flute beatbox cuz they did that on icarly =p

[pebblefrog196]

@bryandar000 What's icarly? Sorry, I just think it's funny that people watch that anymore...

[bryandar000]

@pebblefrog196 lol i dont watch it anymore,but i do remember that one episode,go figure =P

[heavymetalwarrior725]

@supersuperguy111 ya symphonic band (top band) in my skewl

[GottaPlayTrumpet]

32 disgruntled sousa players. ha!

[OFortuna3]

Sorry to burst your bubbles guys but this really isnt hard to play. If you just pull the measures apart one by one it becomes quite easy.

[beaglemanzzz]

@OFortuna3

That's not the point.

[coolguyhino92]

@OFortuna3 then post your own version and show us.  prick

[Broons2112Bane]

@OFortuna3 If I pull your girlfriend's clothes apart she becomes really easy.

[fett2k]

@OFortuna3 lol easy talking. i bet you can't post a video of you doing the same. "pics or gtfo!"

[fett2k]

@OFortuna3 *"vids or gtfo!" lol

[socc3rfanatic1]

Awww imagine all spit in that thing... like the niagra falls

[Cramitsucko]

I wish I could like this one million times. I had no idea this shit was possible, my mind is blown.

[Cramitsucko]

My jaw literally dropped just now. So so so so sick.

Police acedemy: The musical

[trmbn97buckley]

This guys should be worshiped by all brass players. My lips would be gone if I did this! This takes a enormous amount of skill, probably improvised the whole thing too! He should have no dislikes!

[P3ERSON]

THIS MAN INS BEAST.

[Doppity]

Ladies and gentlemen.... my hero.

[jrock0789]

[Schwamy56]

Oh God, This song would be awesome even without the beatboxing.

[bige809]

FUCK YA!!!!!!!!!

i am a sousaphone and tuba player :D beat box too. not this good but this gave me some inspiration!!

[FelixFalora]

i do my real account is 619619fan

[Luisrubio16]

I bet he gets pussy!

[beaglemanzzz]

Sousaphones sound like shit.

[jwmorgan1880]

@beaglemanzzz well fuck you to!!

[beaglemanzzz]

@jwmorgan1880

I'm assuming you play tuba, so do I. From one tuba player to another I am saying no sousaphonme can get as good of a tone quality as a concert tuba or contra.

[TQYULEEERN]

@beaglemanzzz I couldn't have said it any better. Sousaphones seem to (in my opinion/experience playing tuba) have that marching band "blasty sound" that comes from playing loud with a disregard to tone quality.

[beaglemanzzz]

@TQYULEEERN

Yes, exactly what I think.

[bloodvein3]

@beaglemanzzz well duh, but they both have their own benefits cause i play tuba in marching band and have marched with both sousaphones and contras. i like them both, but sousaphone is meant to be easier. contras are for the players who like a challenge. my high school has contras instead of sousaphones but contras just seem right for our school and not sousaphones, they just do. but i love playing a sousaphone whenever i can :D

[beaglemanzzz]

@bloodvein3

Sousaphones are fun just to screw around on. There aren't very many tubas you can wear. :P

[bloodvein3]

@beaglemanzzz true that tuba brother

[VortShammy]

@bloodvein3 lol contras aren't for players who like a challenge. They just work better in terms of visuals and such. That's why drum corps use em. Not for the challenge but simply because they're flashier when it comes down to doing any type of visual because you can't do much with something around your body.

[bloodvein3]

@VortShammy well, you beat me there xD i love playing both of them though, so yea...

[xthejordx]

@VortShammy Drum Corps use contras because they were originally bugles. Sousaphones are not bugles. Flashy is just a bonus.

[ericoschmitt]

omg thats insane

[PoopHouseProductions]

31 people fell into his bell

[roserafakb]

[BuddhaMaster84]
