Now let's take a look at some other snare sounds. When you master any of the following snare drum sounds you will instantly elevate your beatboxing, but they can take some practice. The first one is 'The Inward K Snare' - a must-have sound in your beatbox toolkit. This is an inward sound, meaning you breathe in while making it. Keep practicing and you will get it.

This snare drum sound is called the 'Rimshot' Snare. The Rimshot sound is made using a regular snare drum but instead of hitting the centre of the drum, the drumstick is struck against the rim of the drum to make the sound.

This snare drum sound is called the 'PF Snare. The PF snare sound is made using a regular snare drum when the drumstick strikes centre of the drum.

This snare drum sound is called the '808 Snare'. The Roland TR-808 is the most influential electronic drum machine for beatbox culture. You could programme complete beats with the 808. The early beatboxers would imitate the sounds of the 808, just by using their mouths and this is literally how beatboxing was born. Let's learn one of the original beatbox snare sounds - the '808 Snare'.

It's time to learn your first 2 basic rhythms!!!

Let's learn another one. This is part 1 to learning the B K BK rhythm. Give it a go!

This is part 2 to learning the B K BK rhythm. Let's take it up a level!

Now try the B K B BK rhythm. We're stepping it up a level again... Let's go!

Time for a rhythm exercise. Trying out different beats and rhythmic exercises will help develop your individual sounds, your overall beatbox sound, help you to beatbox faster rhythms and develop your sense of timing.

Learn this simple breathing technique. Many new beatboxers don't understand when to breathe in while beatboxing. Well, with many beatbox sounds, you can breathe in OR out when you make them. Here you will learn to breathe in and out while making the bass drum and hi hat sounds.

Learn this simple breathing technique and then practice using it in all of your rhythms. Here we will practice taking a breath in through the nose or mouth in-between making sounds.

It's time to look back over what you've learned so far. Use the Bass Drum, Hi Hat and Snare Drum sounds to practice the rhythms you have learned. Practice the breathing techniques too. Explore each sound. Try applying more or less pressure when making each sound. Try changing the shape of your mouth when making each sound.

Now let's add some bass to your beats. Humming while beatboxing is the simplest way to add bass. There are many other ways like using Throat Bass or Liprolls but 'Humming Bass' is the place to start.

Fills add intricacy and texture to your beats. They can make your beats sound more interesting and groovy. Here we will learn 3 of my favourite basic beatbox fills.

Now let's spice up your beats by adding fills to them. We will practice putting each of the fills we've learned into simple rhythms.

You've learned how to make the bass drum, hi hat, snare drum, humming bass and some fills. Now let's try putting ALL of them together. You've got this!

Awesome work! That's the essentials module completed!
