That's not Burman Porter. That guy can't hit a low note worth a flip. It was Aaron McCune that used to sing with Palmetto State Quartet. The guy you mistakenly call Mr. Porter is actually Larry Strickland. I know so because I have the CD's. :)
@JoshNC77 Do you have the Thank God for a Song CD? That's the CD both the Burman Porter clips here are from. It's definitely Burman Porter on the cover. Larry Strickland came into the lineup later (when he became the manager of PSQ, I believe). As for Aaron, he sang on the Sweet Land of Rest and When it pours, God reigns CDs. Go to amazon.com and type in "Palmetto State Quartet Thank God for a song" and you'll see it's clearly Burman Porter on the cover.
@bigal20992 G0!!!!????? Do you mean the first G off the bottom of the piano or is it the last G on the piano? If it's off the piano it's G0, but the last one on the piano is G1. I'm just wondering because going to G1 in full voice is very rare. But G0 is almost unheard of. I'm not disbelieving in what you say, but I'm just making sure of which note you're talking about because of how rare it is to hit either of those notes without vocal fry. And yes, JD hit a G0, and it doesn't seem to be fry.
@bigal20992 Actually, that would be G1. G0 is below C0. G0 is 3 full steps below C0. I'm sure there is very few people on this whole planet that can hit that, non fry. I can get to a "real E1 or D1 if it's a good day in my "real", not fry, voice.
@bigal20992 JD SUMNER NEVER EVER HIT A GO HIS LOWEST EVER RECORDED WAS A DOUDLE LOW C AND IF YOU ARE SAYING THAT YOU CAN HIT A G OFF THE PIANO I HAVE TO GET SOME MONEY BECAUSE I DONT BELIEVE IT AND ALSO IF ITS OFF THE PIANO HOW WOULD YOU KNOW WHAT KEY... JUST SAYING I WOULD LOVE TO HEAR IT IF YOU CAN...
@matchcamp I know. Notice the video is called "Bass singers AND Low Notes". My first vid had several people who aren't basses but they sang in the lower bass range. The average bass singer usually bottoms out around E2 or F2 (though some Baritones like Garth Brooks can get this low), so that's where I set the ceiling for low notes in my videos. A lot of the guys you hear in this video are either lower than average basses or Basso Profundi (I know Tim Riley is considered to be this).
Since I probably won't do another bass video for a while, I've decided to post links to some "bonus" clips. These, I either didn't find until later or I wasn't able to get permission to use them in this video:
Another great video my friend! Its nice to hear Tim Duncan hitting a low one, He doesn't seem to go there very often but I know from his days with Phil Cross and the poet voices that he can get down there. Thanks for this interesting and enjoyable post!!
@thebassmanadam Glad you enjoyed it! Also, since I'm not gonna be making another bass video for a while, I'm gonna post some links to other low notes I wasn't able to include in this video (for a variety of reasons). Be sure to keep an eye out for them (they'll be in some comments I post for this video)!
Awesome Video, At 8:15 Tim is in full voice, that is why he is struggling to stay on the double low E, he is back and forth between the E and the F. Still freakish though.
@biglhot75 Yeah if you listen to the tail end of the clip, you can hear a good amount of tone from Tim. I believe it's mixed voice, as it still sounds a bit throaty. Still too much tone to be vocal fry tho.

@GamingDrummer89 Burman is the one sitting at the lowest point on the staircase on the cover picture of that CD.

My grandma walked in while I was at one of the Aaron McCune parts, and she said, "Who's that handsome devil?"

i just found out the other day when i had my voice lessons that my lowest note in full voice is a G0.....is that JD's lowest note as well?
