Woo ending credits! Need feedback on that, many thanks in advance. I need to know if it comes across as intrusive or not - not gonna lie, I have been trying to work out how to have some form of credits just in case someone decides to nick my work, but I didn't want something at the beginning 'cos that'd get annoying very fast, and didn't want a watermark because they look very invasive. I think this is a nice balance.

ANYWAY.

Today, the bongo sound that doesn't sound anything like an actual bongo. I'll do a tutorial for a more realistic bongo sound at some point. This sound is probably best known as being used by Roxorloops, and for some beatboxers it's an absolute staple sound. I had fun filming this tutorial because I hadn't done the sound in a fair while - it was fun experimenting with some beats.

How to make the sound:

1 - Learn the inward K
2 - Learn the 808 kick
3 - Do them together
4 - Add a short hum to the end

Described as "[one] of the finest exponents of the hip-hop discipline" by YouTube's music blog, Fat Tony's tutorial series is THE definitive guide to learning how to beatbox. As featured on Humanbeatbox.com and BeatboxAustralia.net.

  • If you were to ask me why i wanted to watch a beatboxing video i would hav to say it was for the commercials. Cause who doesnt fucking love commercials...

  • @casanova379 Well, it earns me money which means I make more tutorials. You don't have to watch 'em.

  • @FatTonyBBX I cant hum as fast as you o-e.My hum is 2 secs late after I do inward and 808 kick got any tips? ;o

  • @fl1pb0x Practice to get it closer and tighter :)

  • the techno swallow seems to me is pushing air out from my throat, how do I pull air in and push air out at the same time?

  • @fl1pb0x Somebody best described the inward snare as being more of a "snap" than a full on inward snare. See if that description helps at all.

  • @FatTonyBBX How much money have you exactly made up to now? o.O

  • i can get the bongo drum if i do with simple k snare and throath kick?

  • guys you dont really inhale air when you do you the sound its like a rim shot outward but inward

  • thanks i can almost do it

  • this is hard.but mouth and throat can't do this.

    but I can't stop trying because I'm in love with beatbox.

  • this sounds more like a marimba or whatever its called

  • @FatTonyBBX fattony

    can i change the inward k to the outward k

    because if we can't breath when doing inward k

    the meaing of inward k actually lost

    so can i use outward k instead of inward k?

    the most important point is ,inward k and 808 kick is really hard to combine -_-

    thx

  • @FatTonybbx
