****I’ve written up a little word document resource of the Five Main Families of beatbox vocal basses, I’ve made entries and descriptions along with links for examples of each for about~23 different vocal basses in beatboxing, about 4-5 videos’ worth on information. Posted it on beatbox Reddit if you want to give it a look!

Hey all, finally found the time and the right explanation to be able to provide you guys this! Let me know if this helped, didn’t help, what I could explain better on, and I’d be happy to help give Troubleshooting or possibly a re-upload.
3 basic steps for how I produce this sound:
1 same tongue position and motion for Reeps Ones’ Wobble lip bass
2 seal your lips so they can’t oscillate with that tongue motion
3 force that same exact air that the wobble bass tongue positioning uses BACKWARDS towards your uvula in the back of your oral cavity (if done right with your lips complete sealed off, this will result in a kind of “squelching” sound if done weakly, and a “swallowing” sound if done strongly. This swallowing sound is caused by the air pocket you’re forcing down your throat which causes your uvula and soft pallet to oscillate. This is the kenôzen swallow bass.
4 hollow your throat to make the bass deeper.
4.5 add some jaw pop liprolls between each bass hit to create those “chugging rolling” beats that kenôzen has popularized, you can hum on top of these two sounds too since neither use aspirated lung-originated air pull, only air pressure thanks to the tongue, lip, and uvula
I guess you could also call this sound a “uvula swallow bass”. I prefer pig bass or swallow bass personally lol - เพลง
this is the best tutorial I’ve seen, I got it immediately thank you sooo muchhh
Haha don’t give me so much credit! But thank you🙏 make sure to share this! Subscribe for more!
Btw shoutout to ARA beatbox and Trial beatbox for having tutorials on this sound before me!! Hopefully between the three of our tutorials, you guys’ll be able to get this sound. Please check out their channels and tutorials and show them some love🙏🙏🙏
Thanks
great tutorial man, now whats left is to start grinding and perfecting the sound, big up!!!!
I’m glad to know it helped you! Thank you for the support and kind words🙏🔥any other sounds you’ve been wanting to learn?
thank you so much, i just thought i was not made for this sound until now :)
Thanks For the tutorial it helps a lot!
No problem my friend! Make sure you share this tutorial!
OMG I GOT IT THANK YOU SO MUCH THIS WAS SO HELPFUL :DDDDDD
I just realized I've been doing this for years
SAME LOL
Thanks a lot bro❣️I'll share the video 💯❣️
You’re very welcome, Much appreciated🙏
Alkmi in 2020: im not good at explaining alkmi in 2024: creator of the vocal bass skullers explaining shit hours a day
Danke, parce, Very grateful to have fellow VBS’ like you guys, wouldn’t be anywhere without your shared insights and knowledge ❤️🙏🔥😅
Nice!
Omgggg amazing
I know how to do the swallow bass when this video taught me now
nice tutorial.
Broooo thxxx
Happy to help! Let me know if you have any further questions or trouble
Yeah man
got it after you said toungue movement in the beginning. like!
Excellent! Glad I could be of help
This is a pretty good explanation on how to make the sound I think. The only difference for me is that I actually don't need to move my tongue at all to do it, but it does add more power if I pop my cheeks. The thing that I was saying on the other video about not being able to mix both sounds, I meant it pace-wise. Like I can do the first 1 or 2 times and then I just completly lose the flow and start slowing down or messing up the order of the sounds ahah. I guess I really just need more practice till I get confortable with both sounds. Great video anyways!
Thank you🙏🙏 I would say as far as tips for comboing the jaw pop liproll with the swallow bass, you wanna kinda get in the mindset of the jaw pop being focused mostly on ONE SIDE of your mouth and JUST with your lips and jaw being engaged, whereas the swallow bass only demands the engagement of your tongue/air in your mouth, forcing the air in the MIDDLE of your mouth. When you break down the combo into thinking about those two different, separate parts of the oral cavity being used, it becomes less confusing or less overwhelming of a mental and muscular task to perform before that muscle memory sets in
And one more thing, I don’t actually my tongue as much as i explained in this tutorial, either I use air pressure in my cheeks and just near the back muscles in my tongue to do this sound, but the reason I explained it this way was because I was trying to think of the best and most accessible way for folks who don’t know this sound to get the hang of the motion and the feel of what forcing that air pocket against your soft pallet and uvula really is like. The tongue motion of reeps ones’ wobble bass is the best way I could think of to help people visualize what kind of tongue engagement and what direction of pressure is needed to be able to learn how to produce this sound. Once you get better and more confident and stronger with the sound, it will gradually no longer require as exaggerated of a tongue motion as I explained in this video. As you get more experience making this sound with more efficiency and less movement of the muscles, the area that you are using to force the air pocket across your uvula gets smaller and smaller until you get to the point where you can just “inflate” your closed mouth with air and just make the swallow bass happen with minimal tongue and cheek movement. I would say at that point where you’ve perfected the sound to its most efficient, the jaw is really the only thing moving in a major way to make this sound. You just have to be careful teaching it to people that way, because if they don’t get the right tongue position, closing your jaws with that trapped air in your closed-lips mouth could “squelch” the air into another, unwanted part of your oral cavity, like behind your lips or the inside of your upper cheeks
@@alkmibeats2133 samee i can't use it in the beat flow
Driimii Jann Barrera trust me, learning it and then utilizing it creatively are two separate things!
@@alkmibeats2133 I can already combo it with the lip kicks but now I was trying to do the kenozen sound without any breaks and I just can't. For example in his tag team gbb wildcard of this year there is a point when kenozen does that sound without stopping and I have no idea how to do it, do you?
is it like sqeezing the air from the side and top of ur mouth, while the mouth is close.
If alot of air comes through my throat It makes me feel I will puke lol
It’s not exactly going down your throat but rather “back” and “across” your soft pallet and uvula
You legend
Not at all!! I just wanted to help Spread some learning and knowledge in our community! Much love
Alkmi Beats quick question how do you hum and do the bass at the same time
Alkmi Beats I got it thanks 🙏
DucksHaveIQ You have to make sure when you’re adding your voice, it’s being projected through your nose, not your mouth, since your mouth is closed. You have to be able to hum clearly through your nose with your mouth closed
I can do the sound but i cant do my voice at the same time like you did at the end

How to do it triplet like sinx or kenozen
I’ve been doing this since my childhood and I didn’t even know lol
Same
same
Is the bass inward or outward
Thanks for the tutorial
See the thing is it’s technically inwards but it’s also un-aspirated (so it doesn’t use the lungs’ breath, like inward liproll, inward bass, inward clickroll, inward k snare, inward drag, etc) it involves using your tongue and mouth muscles to force that pocket of air past your soft pallet and uvula, so the air is going “in” but it’s not because of pull from your lungs, it’s because of pressure from the oral muscles, therefore making it “injective” but unaspirated, like the basic liproll and the click for example
Hopefully that makes sense
I can't do that😂
Please help me I can't humm while doing the bass heeelp

I know, I know how
Is it me or do i get a sore throat from this sound??
For me, this should never happen, its vibration occurs near the uvula and the soft pallet, not down in the larynx or throat
With the thumbnail, I thought you were Gene 😂
Well I’m honored, huge fan of his and a fellow Japanese-American 😂🙏
i cant do the kick over it i can only do it outwards
For me, it’s actually harder to do the outward lip kick than the jaw pop kick, try keeping your jaws open slightly after doing a jaw pop to get into the position to do the swallow bass
if i try to do it with the inward kick i come out with a basic liproll
@@ayoobjorn you may need to work more on your jaw pop inward kick then, in that case, you may just not be used to any other sound coming from that position other than the liproll itself
thank you for the advice but i cant do it fast now that i am doing it with a inward kick cuz if i try to i come up again with a liproll
@@ayoobjorn you may need to work on the jaw pop liproll/inward kick separately to get very comfortable distinguishing it from a basic liproll/any kind of liproll in that case before attempting to do beats with the swallow bass with it. For instance, I can perfectly “separate” my liproll from my inward kick, so I can do any kind of liproll variant with my inward lip kick like Napom really showed all of us, do any liproll on its own without the kick, AND do the inward kick on its own without it being part of any of my liproll variants, you’ll need to be able to distinguish it from liprolls at least to the point where you don’t confuse the two when attempting to do one. Then once you’ve achieved that level with the jaw pop, then you can start trying to add the swallow bass/kenôzen bass
It is inward or outward?
I hate to give you a complicated answer, so I’ll try to give a simple one. It’s outward. I call this outward because, even though the sound is formed by forcing a pocket of air past the soft pallet and uvula DOWN your throat, it does not use any inward air or lung pull at all. So that’s why I classify it as an outward injective sound, or in other words, and outward sound that is caused by the pulling /pushing in of air independent of the lungs (caused by pressure from the tongue in this case) hopefully that made sense. I explain this at :40 but I may not have been as clear, I now realize, I apologize! “Aspirated” is the same as meaning “inward” as in a sound which requires the lungs pulling in air to make it work.
@@alkmibeats2133 thx man now I understand, it's pretty simple to make this sound I already learned it.
Strafe hell yeah!! Glad to hear!
I see you on Reddit.
Man!
That’s me!
Thx gene!!
I’m not gene but I definitely am Japanese-american, so thank you for not assuming I’m Chinese like most Americans!
Alkmi Beats lol I think he was joking with calling you gene
MSGBBX yeah Ik, getting the whole “all Asians are the same person/look alike/are all Jackie Chan/know each other” is a very very old, tired, and honestly, a comedically lazy trope that all Asian Americans are used to hearing. Like from birth. Cuz we’re not “white-looking”/“american-looking” enough to be considered our own individual people, or not enough to be assumed to be “born/from here” like what is automatically assumed for white Americans. So I decided to combat really stale and intellectually lazy af japonophobic “humor” with sincerity instead of irony. And also gene is one of the most unique and talented international-level beatboxers our country has produced in this era so I don’t even mind the comparison. Just a little used to/tired of seeing the racism. But hey, ‘Murica, right? I mean just look at our president
Alkmi Beats I’m Greek lol my dad calls all Asians chinese. Anyways thanks for the tutorial my friend has been trying to learn this for 3 weeks now and can’t and I got in in 5 mins I can flex lol.
MSGBBX as someone who is not Greek but appreciates Greek culture and my name is of Greek origin, that makes me sad that your dad is one of those folks. Miseducation or under education is often the common denominator for bigotry or willingness to homogenize a diverse group of people into one category. I hope he keeps an open mind and still is willing to learn new things about people and cultures no matter his age!
you like kinda look like gene shinozaki Lol
No speak english😔
I apologize, which language do you speak as your native tongue?
@@alkmibeats2133 Do not worry! my language is Spanish
@@zbne5783 puedo hablar español tambien, pero no soy un hablador nativo. Todavia puedo explicartelo si necesitas mas instruccion para este sonido🙏🔥
