"How to Practice
the
Bass Drum Kick
Articulation

(Beatbox Style with a Flute)
by Greg Pattillo

step one

make this sound 10, 000 times

things to consider

-Back pressure of air
against the lips
-Back of tongue down
-Diaphragmatic
air support

-Use "Thick Lips"
(Back pressure against
the back part of the
lips. The part that
is always wet)
-Open throat
-Open jaw, closed lips:
as much space as
possible in the mouth

Look how much
I use and open my
Throat, Shoulders
and Chest!

finally seek a relaxed resonance and find an easy controlled consistency

Here are some additional rhythms to practice

-examples-

now lets try and make a tighter, higher sounding noise with the lips

I call this sound "P". It is just a "B" sound, but with lots of tension and no space in the mouth.

-example- B-P

over time the B will get lower, and the P will get higher.....

now lets add flute to the bass drum kick "B"s...

But, at first, do not make
a normal flute sound!
Just make a bass
drum kick articulation
with the flute
on your face.

Try it fingering
different notes!
Try to get an airy
flute sound:
It is called an
Aeolian Tone

Don't tongue these flute notes, just start them with diaphragmatic air (like an "H" articulation)

-examples-

Don't forget to get crazy and start rocking out...
