Here is a transcript of the video, enjoy! : "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...
