Awesome Beatbox

Forgive the “shot with a potato” quality video, but this clip is all about the audio anyhow. Listen as Zac and his daughter show off their talents with a brief beatbox improv. We’re sure that someday she’ll show her dad who’s boss. (Thanks Carlos-David!)

A brilliant live-to-tape performance from musician THePETEBOX, who works his vocal chords and electronic loop boxes like a true Maestro. Buy this track and several others in the series here.

If you enjoyed the earlier performance we posted from beatboxer Dave Crowe, crank your speakers up to 11 and check out this awesome 10 minute show from the Swedish entertainer. Things go seriously off the hook around 2:30.

An epic beatbox performance by artist Tom Thum captured during TEDxSydney this past May. The man makes noises we had no idea humans could create. We wouldn’t want to have to clean the spit off of his microphone.

Japanese beatboxer Hikakin hits the big time, joining Aerosmith on stage for a rendition of Walk This Way, and a performance from dancer Marquese “Nonstop” Scott – though they should have aimed the camera at his feet more.

Crooner/beatboxer Mike Tompkins covers Justin Timberlake, Timbo’s beats and JT’s backing band using just his and rapper George Watsky’s voices. They should’ve called it Denim & Plaid though.

Watch the pancake-rapping, grammar-correcting, crowd-feeding rapper play Beatbox + iPhone + Guitar + Fast Rap = Win using Everyday Looper. Come for the gimmick, but stay for his lyrics.

Japanese beatboxer Hikakin has gotten his hands on an RC-50 Loop Station, and with its help, cranks out a mad vocalization of the music from the SNES classic Donkey Kong Country.

Musician THePETEBOX previously wowed us with some amazing covers, but this time its an original track that we’re digging – another live performance with an infectious beat and moving lyrics.

THePETEBOX covers MGMT’s Kids in one take using only his voice, a guitar, a loop pedal and a couple of effects. This is the first single from his upcoming debut album. Watch his Pixies cover here.

Henry Edmonds, you’ve doomed us all. Boots & Cats is not something that one can like or hate. It just burrows into your mind, never to be forgotten. Dance clubs will never be the same.

If Billboard had a separate chart for YouTube pop stars, Mike Tompkins would be one of the mainstays on it. His beatbox skills, production and – let’s face it – charm are on par with his singing.

While dubstep might not be everyone’s favorite musical genre, you have to hand it to beatboxer David Crowe for his vocal talents, as he pulls off this incredible live performance.

World-famous beatboxer Darren Foreman aka BeardyMan wowed the Montreal Comedy Festival crowd with his impromptu mix of beatbox, stand-up comedy, reggae, country and classical music.

While Annie Wu might not yet be at the level of Nathan “Flutebox” Lee or Greg Patillo, we can say with certainty that we couldn’t beatbox and play the flute at the same time when we were 15 years-old.

How many times have you had a lyric in your head, but only wished that you had the appropriate backing beat? We only wish this guy offered his free beatboxing services all the time.

The classic lobby gun fight sequence from The Matrix gets its sounds effects replaced by a single dude, making noises with his mouth. A little silly, but Matt Mulholland gets an ‘A’ for effort.

Throw down the jams with Billaboop’s CamBox, a creative app for iOS devices. Each recorded sound is stored in a box, which can then be remixed, played with the touch screen and saved as a video.

Playing the flute is difficult enough, but beatboxing and playing the flute at the same time should be left to the pros, like Nathan “Flutebox” Lee, who’s adept at both disciplines. Bonus track here.

Beatboxer extraordinaire Hikakin is back with some new sounds. This time he does his best impression of a Skype call. The Police Academy sound effect guy would be so proud.

While you might have heard beatbox artist Hikakin’s awesome Super Mario Bros. theme, we bet you didn’t hear his rendition of Harder Better Faster Stronger. His Kanye ain’t bad either.

If cats can have keyboards, why can’t dogs can have their own music acts? Take, for instance, this canine who can beatbox. Sorta. With the help of its master. We think he’s singing in Russian.
