Beatboxers of the Century

This video is kind of old but I figured I'd put it up anyways for a few reasons. One is that even though it's old some people might not have heard it still. Another reason is that I still think it's pretty sick that this guy can beatbox and play flute at the same time. His super mario remix I think should be put on any new super mario games that come out, that's how sick this guy is. He also does a remix of the Inspector Gadget theme song and the Flight of the Bumblebee. I think it is pretty crazy that the guy can do this. Also if you like this video then you are guarenteed to love the other beatboxer, Rahzel. Rhazel beatboxes and sings, rather than playing an instrument and beat boxing. Both these two very gifted beatboxers have many videos on youtube that I urge you to check out. I've been told by my brother of why he thinks Rhazel is able to beatbox and sing at the same time, and I agree with my brother's theory. My brother said you have two sets of vocal chord, one high and one low, which makes sense. My brother said some people can train themselves to use both their sets of vocal chords seperately and can train themselves how to use them very well. So by using these two sets of vocal chords seperately, Rhazel is allowed to sing and beatbox at the same time. I can't post the Rhazel video up because he says one bad word but i still urge you to check out the song "if your mother only knew" by Rhazel; however i can post the greg patillo video of him beatboxing and playing the flute at the same time:

Nice post. I had not seen this before. Thanks. People who have this level of creativity inspire me. Even if it is with something so odd.
Nice job. You never cease to amaze me.

That was so cool. How does he do that?!?! I wish I was that coordinated and talented. I didn't realize that you were such a music aficionado. Your posts are very interesting. Thanks for teaching me so much.
