Cool. Now, what specific drums do you hear? This is called the hi-hat. Now, what about this one?

Yep, that's the kick, or bass drum. What about this one?

Yep, that's the snare drum. Nice job if you got it. Here they are, all together.

There's just one thing. This is no ordinary drum kit. Oh, did someone say it was a DJ

hitting electronic drum pads? Good thinking, but it's not that either. And it's not a keyboard

with drum sounds. Nope, in fact, nobody is hitting or pressing anything. Instead, these very cool

drum sounds are being made by this guy. Oh, hello, with their mouth. Whoa. That's right.

Oh, M G. How are you doing that? Like a singer, my voice is my instrument, but instead of singing,

I'm using my vocal range in a variety of different ways to emulate different sounds. Like a drum kit.

We call that beatboxing. Beatboxing. Beatboxing. Beatboxing. Beatboxing is an innovative art form

that uses the mouth, throat, and nose to create sounds for musical expression. Building your own

personal range of sounds, then combining those sounds to craft the musical piece, maybe even a

full performance, is entirely dependent upon your own creativity and growing skill set. If you can

conceive it, you can beat it. And the best part is you already have everything you need to get

started, smarty pants. You, but where does a beginning beatboxer start? Well, the simple answer is

just try making sounds with your mouth. When you like the way something sounds, repeat what you did

and practice it until you can make that sound the same way every time. MIRROR, BAMMIRROR, BAMMIRROR,
