3 basic sounds of beatboxing

1. Bass kick

Pronounce the word “BOOM” with emphasis on the letter “B” and try to remove the “oooo” sound of the letters “OO” and pronounce the letter “M” as a silent letter.

2. Hi-hats

Pronounce the word “Tssss” or a shorter “Tss”, also the word “Tsk” could also be used as a Hi-Hat percussion sound effect in beatboxing.

3. Snare Drums

Pronounce the word “pfft” with more emphasis on “p”. Also the snare sound effect could also be replaced with the inward “K” where you try to block the air between the two sides of your mouth then suddenly release it going inside.
