Adam does a 10+ minute session in every concert. At Christmas it was based on “Carol of the Bells”. “Listen to the Music” is both one of my favorite songs, and one of my favorite Home Free covers. They’ve added it to their current concert set list. And to mix it up they have a breakdown where all five guys do vocal percussion. They are obviously singers, not beatboxer’s, but it’s a fun way for them to present something different.

When you watch older ones you see his vocal drums routine

Terrific to have a knowledgeable practitioner react to this. Thanks. This is a new genre for most HomeFree fans. And some overstate Adam's rank in the beatbox world. It's out of love, and they don't have the context. But I always give musicians props for experimenting and getting out of their comfort zone. And Adam is an excellent example of that. I applaud him for bringing this style of beatboxing to a usually conservative, country music audience. On their current setlist, this is past the halfway point in their 90 minute concert. He's already done their "Man of Constant Sorrow / Folsom Prison Blues" mash up and "Ain't Going Down ('Til the Sun Comes Up). Do you know what a typical year of live events is for a professional beatboxer? HomeFree did around 70 gigs in 2023, with Adam providing the percussion for 15 or so songs, plus a solo like this. For more info on Adam, i suggest the Modern Drummer piece online from 7 Nov 2019. It's a brief summary of his experience and approach, in his own words. Again, thanks.

I thought I'd show my cousin something cool with some Home Free and find out they originate from 20 miles where she lives and she saw them a few times on cruises...she has sat here in the hospital with me watching beatboxing videos the entire time LOL This one surprised me...

Haven't seen this clip of Adam before - you should react to his older clips where he just sits on a stool and beatboxes!!!

That's our Adam!

Nice reaction! Adam is really good in what he does as being the drum set for an a cappella band. Also his top notch solos introduce beatboxing to an entire new audience: elderly ladies! He has said he has no time or interest in competing, but obviously follows what is happening in the bb world. Usually before starting the looping part he says it’s Oras by SARO, but these are not always included in these fan recorded videos. Looking forward to more of Adam’s solos and HF.

I don't consider Adam a beat boxer...although, he most certainly can do beat boxing...but he shines as the vocal percussionist with the driving drums replacing real drums in the HF songs. He adds beatboxer style effects and such...but really....it is his percussion that shines.....

Adam is phenomenal. Just saw them and him live last week. He’s amazing!!!

The beatboxers/sound effects guys working in the a cappella world have brought beatboxing to an entirely new audience. This sixty-something lady would have never encountered beatboxing were it not for Home Free and Voiceplay. And so it gives me an entirely new appreciation for YOUR abilities in that regard.

I am a BIG Home Free fan, thanks so much for reacting to Adam’s solo, I like the one where he is wearing a red plaid shirt the best :) check it out sometime! So sorry Austin Brown will be leaving the group soon. Hope they find someone to take his place. They will have big boots to fill. I love Home Free 😊. Great reaction 🎉

I think a very good explanation for this brilliant beatboxing: Adam Rupp is inhuman. 😉 He is a drum alien in Angelguise. You just have to because he is so unbelievably good(and handsome too😊😍)!! Like he swallowed a drum kit. And then vocally he can also make so many more (instrument) sounds which is not normal

I saw them live a week and a half ago and Adam sounds better live than on recordings,

Adam is a 2 time world champion beatboxer

He is actually performing a cover of 1 of ☆Saro's☆ loops from GBB 2017 semi-final against MB14, &, tho I don't deny Adam's skills when applied to Home Free, he's NO SARO. Saro is a world beat box champ for multiple GBB's & has performed on stages all over the world, honing his craft everytime he steps to the mic & MKII. If you want to hear this song w/elegance, precision, & clarity performed by the man that actually invented this beat, watch MB14 vs. Saro, GBB 2017!!

What impresses me is that he does one of these solos in the middle of every show in addition toproviding the vocal percussion for the rest of the show.

Love this guy. Being there is amazing. Crowd goes nuts.

Finally, a quality beatboxer who understands the techniques reacting to one of Adam's performances! It's outstanding hearing someone else show the same quality abilities. (the typical beatboxer to review one of these videos sounds like beginner when they try to imitate him.) Nice, entertaining and informative reaction.

#AdamRupp 💪🔥🔥

Could you imagine doing this for a whole concert though? For 2 hrs I think it is.

Yes they do use a loop station and are up front about it.

Did you upload an unedited version by mistake? Was a long section searching NME and then a part where you say you’ll edit it out and explain superchat requests.

❤❤❤❤

That makes sense - I was wondering why he yells “Soro” at the beginning of his solo.

Take a listen to this one from Adam. Home Free: Drum Solo [SPM ST15]. I think you'll appreciate it for sure. Have a great day!

😎

I much prefer his 2015 drum solo, not sure about this newer stuff

IMHO, Adam Rupp is the best beatboxer - he's truly incomparable. There are other live videos of his 'drum solos'. For an extended version of his 'no-monica' watch their video "Working for a Living". BTW, he plays piano, drums, trumpet & whatever else he chooses to pick up. Great reaction to a great artist!

Mike B?

there is a videp he talks about how he does the harmonica sound { kzfaq.info/get/bejne/m8VhfdFi3NqnpKc.html )

So he just copies a Saro routine with an objectively worse remix ? And did he at least credit Saro ?
