The 3 Fundamental Sounds5:31
This is the beginning of any beatboxers journey - the 3 fundamental sounds! These are the 'Kick' or 'Bass' drum, the 'Hi-Hat' and the 'Snare' drum. With these 3 sounds you can beatbox the rhythm of almost any style of music. Let's go!
Practice 3 Beat Patterns3:07
In this lesson we will practice 3 different beat patterns to help you develop your beatbox skills. Remember to start 'slowly' and speed up the beats as you get better.
The Rim-Shot Snare2:23
The Rim-Shot is an awesome snare sound. A short, sharp and crisp sound.
The Inward Snare2:08
The Inward Snare. An impressive snare sound that you make while breathing inwards.
The Classic '808' Snare1:55
The 'Roland TR-808' is an electronic drum machine developed in 1980. The classic 808 Snare Sound you will learn here is the snare sound made by this drum machine. The Roland TR-808 Drum Machine was a huge inspiration to beatboxers at the time and still is today! This is quite an easy one to learn. Enjoy!

Breathing In & Out While Making The Fundamental Sounds2:07
Good breathing technique is very important when beatboxing. In this lesson I will show you how you breathe in and out while making the 'Kick', 'Hi-Hat' and 'PF' Snare. This will be very helpful as you progress on your beatboxing journey.
