And Now, Vince's Uncle Roberto On How To Beatbox



1) Learn how to make the classic kick drum {b}, hi-hat {t} and classic snare drum {p} or {pf}.

2) Combine the three sounds into an 8-beat such as this: { b t pf t / b t pf t } or {b t pf t / b b pf t }

3) Concentrate on getting the timing right. If you make a mistake, keep going, do not stop or pause.

4) Start off slowly and build up speed once you can do the 8-beat without losing timing.

When you start getting really good, start the t sound b sound and the pft sound; they are the simplest beat boxing techniques!

And speaking of getting really good, I once parallel parked my Mercedes GL stretch limousine right on Flatbush Avenue in the rain. Now you tell me I didn't deserve that $50 tip that day!
