Watch until the end to see me attempt a B0 in chest-fry 👀Tim Storms, the KING of chest-fry, and the world record holder for lowest note ever produced by a human voice, does an awe-inspiring display of bass vocals here -- world-class vocal control in his bass register, and the cleanest chest-fry you'll ever hear. If you haven't seen this, prepare for Pit Viper moments throughout, and get ready to have your mind blown. Analysis starts a few minutes -- many important announcements at the start! 😁
Tim storms definitely underrated, being he is the record holder for lowest note at 0.189 hz or around there, and when he sings especially in zambia, he is soft spoken, but the sound sounds like an earthquake
Tik storms has mentioned that his vocal folds are roughly twice the length of the average person, which probably translates to his false folds as well, which is how fry and chest fry is produced healthily. I imagine that the much longer false folds contribute greatly to his ability to create such strong low chest fry, kinda like building a guitar that's twice the size of standard, on top of his absolutely incredible ear for low frequencies. There are several examples of him singing 0 octave notes live and he still stays in tune, which is by far the most impressive thing to me. Imagine live tuning an octobass, or a subcontrabasson, virtually impossible for most musicians to do by ear, I wonder if his brain is so used to hearing these subterranean frequencies that his hearing has extended beyond the 20 hz norm.
I'm not any Tim storms, but it makes me wonder about myself because I am able to project lower 1st octave notes with lots of power in a cathedral and it is heard over the choir
I have severe hearing damage but, yet, I can hit and sustain subharmonics down to Eb0. To do this accurately, I must set things up to where I am feeling the notes and not actually hearing them.
@@towerofresonance4877, I never gave it much thought until I heard about the size Tim's vocal folds. My lowest projected chest note in a choir has been a G1 and my speaking voice averages 73Hz (considerably deeper than Tim). I've had people ask - after hearing me speak - if I went through puberty 3 times. Unlike Tim, I am not soft-spoken; I actually get accused of yelling, when I am speaking normally.
Love, love, love to see Elizabeth comment on your R&A!! You both have taught me so much about vocal techniques and arrangements, I wish I'd had you as my vocal coach as a kid (but you probably weren't born yet, lol)! 😉
Thank you for getting me hooked on The Charismatic Voice channel. I checked her out after you mentioned her in one of your videos. I love her analysis and enthusiasm.
So. Cool. This was my first time hearing Tim Storms, and I am utterly floored by his precision and control! Great analysis, as usual. I appreciate the explanation of chest fry, and the attention to the difference between a voice used to blending as opposed to singing exposed, and between studio and live singing where those amazing subterranean notes are concerned. I knew tuning was part of the production process and everyone uses it, but I didn't know it can actually be harder to sing in tune in a studio setting; makes sense now that it's been explained. (Very nice go at the B0, too. Always like hearing you sing along.)
I would love to see you react to a few of those Southern Gospel basses, since that's a genre that flies under the radar of most reactors. I know there's a few videos out there that feature a collection of clips from these guys, so perhaps you could do it from a "genre survey" kind of approach. Some to note: you mentioned J.D. Sumner, but there's also Tim Riley, Tim Duncan, Mike Holcomb, Ken Turner, and not as low but way more melodic, George Younce, Gene McDonald and Big John Hall.
I'm so happy that you covered this! I heard this when it came out a year or so ago and I have been waiting and waiting for one of the reactions people to cover it! I'm really happy it was you so I can get your base perspective!!!
This was an amazing, fantastic analysis as always Peter.👏🏼👏🏼 It's always great to hear the technical side of the bass section, compared to Elizabeth's channel (which her channel is another favorite too). Can't wait to hear the newest Bass Gang song! 💚💚💚
Definitely well beyond my limited musical experience. Glad I had the headphones on . To hear this and you. Yes he's very controlled, not my musical style, but it's good as people mentioned before that you are bringing this style some exposure. You show you suprise and enjoyment at his skill and point it out so well especially with this being up your alley.
I have never seen such an informative reaction video of this masterpiece. Especially when someone really KNOWS a lot about chest-fry, and has experience with it. Although Tim Storms is really just a lower, but not that resonant bass, (the lowest NATURAL note ever recorded I think belongs to J. D. Sumner, and if I'm not mistaken, the lowest basso profundo in recorded history was Mikhail Zlatopolsky), he really is a beast and can fool basically anyone with his perfect chest-fry. So thank you. Great analysis. And also: I can't wait for the next Bass Gang project. It's unfortunate that we have to, until May.
I would love to see a video analysis of a Glenn Miller performance, going in-depth on his technique that allows him to have so loud and steady low notes.
if you havent already, you should check out Tim Foust's do-wop album. In terms of low notes its not all that impressive, I mean he's Tim Foust, he still goes really low, but it really shows off his high range in a way that I've never heard before. My personal favorites are Duke of Earl, In the Still of the Night, and Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow/Stay. The Lion Sleeps Tonight is a nice nostalgia trip for me as well, but the whole album is just fantastic, and I think you should at least listen to the whole album even if you don't analyze it on the channel.
I'd love to see you having an interview with Tim Storms! Love your reactions. I was a bass in our church choir and often sang into the baritone range as well. Now I'm an at home disabled person nearly 80 years old under family care. Music is a big deal in pin management though! 🤗
It's always such a joy to watch your videos and hear your insight, especially as someone who enjoys the technicalities of singing...but doesn't know the ins and outs. This was interesting to listen to, even though my opinion about world records and the validity of it is up in the air. I would love to see your reaction to a group called "Forestella" if you haven't seen them yet. They have a bass singer I enjoy, and I'd love to hear your analysis on how well their harmonies and voices are. Thanks again for another great video!
😲😲😲😲 I have never actually heard Tim before and holy mind blown. Wow, that's some amazing control. And even tho he's such a super low bass, this song just makes it sound like he's so much lower with that higher background. DAMMNNNNNN, dude has got some serious range, here I was anticipating him singing in the basement the whole song then BAM higher ground, holy cow! That low to high rift really did sound like Geoff's low to high. (The voice itself not the rift) I also must say, I know I say all the time about how I really love your reaction analysis but every week I appreciate more and more just how u explain things and how u do it a way that's not show boat-y or condescending like hey I know more than. I so appreciate that, I've learned so much about the differences in voice techniques and much more by listening to you and have even tried some of the techniques. I also totally love when u do some of the singing or techniques to demonstrate them. Thank you, thank you.
I grew up on Southern Gospel music, idolizing bass singers as a kid. I have seen many of the legendary basses live, including 3 who have held the Guiness record for lowest voice. While Tim was singing in Branson, I got to see him several times, and was always impressed..he is incredibly talented. The couple of times I got to speak with him in person, his speaking voice was truly remarkable...I've never heard anything like it.
Well done on the demonstration of your own chest fry! I bet you're even more comfortable with it by now given that this video is from 8 months ago. Thanks for another awesome, entertaining, and informative video, man.
Chest fry is such a cool technique. I like using it better than subharmonics, even if subharmonics are a good deal stronger. It lets someone like me who struggles singing below a c2 in chest to hit notes like that E1 and actually sound nice. You know... as long as it's mic'd haha
This was so much fun. I was wondering when you would get to this video since we chatted about it on Instagram. I have a suggestion for you. Get yourself some over the counter store brand flexifetidine or Allegra. Since you have recently moved into a new place; you may have allergies to stuff your not aware of. I found after many years I am allergic to almost everything except dogs and cats LOL. Along with asthma and chronic bronchitis I had to give up my dream of a mezzo - soprano opera singer. Just couldn't figure out why I stayed sick. Sinus infection, bronchitis, pneumonia almost every year. Now I take Allegra, store brand, and most of my illness has resolved. Unless I actually catch a real cold. Good luck and take care of your dream and yourself 💖
1. Long time follower, so enjoy your analysis. 2. The repeated mentions “debate in the bass community“ on who has the lowest voice thing - the answer is simple, like Mr Storms, anyone who thinks their voice is deeper, go & have it officially measured. Put their money where their mouth is, literally & figuratively haha. I don’t care personally, but it is intriguing, like most world records. If they could record lowest chest voice too would be interesting. I’m guess only Basso Profundo’s need apply. I’ve never been below an E1, so to see so many hit the 0’s would be a treat 😊
He went slightly low on the B0 but it's nearly imperceivably by ear. But it's more of a testament to the tuning being all natural by him. Anyone who can chest-fry this low needs to check their pitch accuracy and ability to hold a pitch this clean for this long. Day-to-day, my lowest chest-fry is a C#1 (some days I can get down to G0), been doing it for 30 years, and my accuracy and pitch control doesn't even begin to compare to this. Honestly, I don't believe anyone can chest-fry like Tim Storms.
Ahahaha, and right after I comment on having seen physical movements to achieve certain vocal effects, here you’re discussing how some of that can be unnecessary or is something that training focuses on reducing. 😂 Once again, a neat educational video!
Hey Pete! Obviously late to this but happy to have found your channel nonetheless. A lot of artists aren’t able to give someone else their flowers without sprinkling back-handed compliments throughout. Really appreciated your break-down and analysis of this great performance. NOW - how do I get one of these hoodies?! I’d happily pay extra for having to make one since they’re not on the site anymore. 😭 Please, thanks again!
It is said the lower ones voice is the better they are at Vocal Control, so when I hair a bass being able to sing beautiful vocal rifts and some basses being able to sing in a Tenor's range, I'm not all that surprised.
Glad I found your channel. I have a deep voice. I've been told I fake it. I obviously don't but now I know the language to describe it. It's just natural for me to go into the "chest fry" as you describe it. The good thing is I have power behind it. Meaning I can call you through a din filled intersection from 100 yards away and you'll hear me. The bad thing is my voice carries when I don't want to be overheard. I've gotten in so much trouble in my life because of that.
This is a great reaction and analysis!! Awesome to see a bass singer reacting to him and also your breakdown of this song is informational. Thank you for that. That Guinness book of world record note G-7, in my view, I guess it is possible to reach that low of an octave but with a ton of practice probably. Think of it in terms of frequencies. A4 is 440 Hz, right? So A5 is twice 880Hz. But A3 is 220Hz Now, to go from A3 to A4 one has to cover 220Hz vocally but from A4 to A5 it is twice the frequency interval. So going down further, 110Hz is A2, 55Hz is A1. I bet you can see the pattern. The number of frequencies that are to be covered for going down octaves gets halved with each octave. So going down a certain number of frequencies the second time is not the same as going down the first time. So to reach -7th octave (that for me is still incomprehensible) maybe, he saw it as going down frequencies and not going down octaves. Now I’m saying this assuming that with practice one can go down or up a certain range of frequencies with the same amount of difficulty, otherwise it isn’t possible at all. And also I don’t know for how long he held that note for some tech to understand and register the frequency and also how he could understand if that low note was a G. It’s just too much isn’t it for normal people to ponder upon these extreme masterful feats?
G−7 = 0,189 Hz = 5,291 s for one period. in air with 20°C it is a wavelength of 1814.815m (5,291s *343m/s). it is more likely that they recorded the afterwave of an earthquake than that he did that note.
Peter would you please do a Tim Foust video sometime since he is the king of the technique that I don’t hear a lot about there’s not many if any videos on youtube and would love to watch a video where you dive into this technique the tim Foust special “growl note”
Question, is it normal if you can hear more notes when you hear low- or high notes? I could hear more notes when I was 15 until 38 years. Another odd thing was that I could hear ultrahigh notes. My range was almost the same as dolphins. Some ultrahigh notes even resonated that it sound even louder until it was very uncomfortable! Now I get older (54 years) it gladly fades away.The reason I love classical music from LP. I still hear that there are some high frequenties are filtered out op the first CDs.
Elizabeth is one of the best . As Julia Nilon is . And surely you , go ahead like that and thank you Peter for teach me and let me improve my musical knowledges .
U would have loved listening to my father sing - he was a Basso Bass - he could sing 1 full octave below the lowest key on a piano without standing close to the mike - while alive - he sang with the Goodtimes Charly Barbershop Quartet - in the 70s and 80s -
“He possesses a vocal range of 10 octaves (G/G#−5 to G/G#5). He has extended his lower range to G−7 (0.189 Hz) while breaking his own record for the widest vocal range for a male singer.” [cite: Wikipedia] Scientists have proven he can sing below human hearing. I wonder what wildlife would be disturbed by his lower notes. - BG
You are a fantastic bass voice. I'm jealous. I've heard Tim's speaking voice before, and I think your natural chest voice may actually be a tiny bit lower than this. That said, for some reason, his B0 sounds more like a real pitch than yours. I can definitely hear the pitch with yours when listening carefully, but it kinda gets into that "The Grudge" or "clicky" sound, where it's hard to hear pitch. Does that make sense? Why do you think that is? Definitely subscribing, as you're the first "real" bass I've seen that does reactions. I'm also subscribed to Eric Holloway(who's another true bass), but he doesn't do reactions.
There are plenty of omg🤯🔥reaction channels, and I would hate to hear you say “C’mon now Y’all didn’t warn me about the dissonance!” You’re filling a niche, for bass enthusiasts who need a little elucidation if not education. Thanks for what you do.
Bobby explained to me how y'alls vocal chords don't just explode (sadly I forgot 🙃), but I still can't comprehend HOW. Like... isn't there a point where it would? 😂
Peter, I'd love to see you cover bass singers from other genre's, like southern gospel - contemporary christian music... Some of the best bass singers on the planet come out of southern gospel quartet singing...
Commenting in this video 2 years afeter but I hope some bass singer can answer a question I have. Peter talked about chest fry and vocal fry in this video and I know that everyone actually have this register in the voice, but can Tenors have some quality in this registers as well? I mean, I'm probably a tenor but I like bass singing, even though I know I'd never reach and E1 (actually not even a D2 in a normal situation) I wanna know if it's possible to have this same thickness in chest fry and vocal fry like bass singers have, because I've already tried to do this and sounds very ugly. Is it just a training matter or it's actually a phisical limit for tenors because of the not thick vocal folds we have?
Great to hear from another bass singer those comments which I already could tell about those -7 claims 😉😉 BTW His lowest note was Eb1 on this song with that three note line Eb1 E1 F#1. And that Low E1 he is holding the chords are changing but he holds E for those two chords. It is E7 with a natural 9 at first then E7 b9 ... I have a suspicion about this recording . I think he is lip syncing on his own recording. Because Voice dynamics do not change even when he moves his head and sometimes his mouth movements does not match. I am so fed up with all these hype trying to be created with those stupid numbers I promise you that will burn my Jazz Diploma as soon as someone sings all the notes on the piano to prove their claims live... Even I can Chest Fry notes as a Baritone guy who used to have a 4 octave voice before I have damaged my falsetto. Now 3.5 Octaves. Claiming a negative octave is ridiculous because it is supernatural and against science of sound. Theoretically Lowest a sound can go and accepted as sound probably is 1 hz and that is C-4 which is 1.021974864455459 Hz so claiming lower than that is not even possible with digital equipment 🤣🤣
Im not sure Tim is chest frying his E1. There's maybe a blind spot about mentioning "controled fry" . If he's not, that explains a lot about how smoothly softy, he slides up and down with that control. I have to consider he has longer vocal cords, more difficult to pitch but very flexible. I don't know overall. I enjoyed this analysis very much!
I think you can't get so much bass from chest fry even if you use a lot of eq. And additionally the lower you go with your chest fry, the more cracky it sounds and the less bass frequencies it consists of. But here you can't hear any cracks, just pure, smooth chest notes. And there's a video where he sings to a B-1 and there's still a lot of low frequencies there and nearly no cracking sound. My conclusion is that even if he uses a chest fry at some point it starts much lower than most people think. I would guess it's somewhere in 0 octave or even lower. His chest voice goes very low.
Had to watch that video of his because Avi had a fanboy moment during a PTX tour when Tim showed up. Obviously, just by reputation alone, it's impressive. But to make Avi freak out like that? Yeah, that's something to keep an eye on right there.
Hey! How would one go about learning bass techniques? Would any average singing coach know where to begin? Or should I seek out a bass singer coach specifically?
@@belinda9696 I don't have to talk to anybody...Guinness can give the record to Tim,to Tom or to your grandma...I don't care... But if you think any human can go 7-8 octaves below the piano WITH HIS VOICE/VOCAL CORDS you're an idiot! You're welcome!
I honestly don't know how people move their jaws while singing, like when you mentioned that people move their jaws when doing Rifts and Runs, there are also some who move their jaws when singing Vibrato. I know the head movement while singing Vibrato is most likely when their Vibratos are heavy or weighty, but as a person who never had vocal training, but have just been singing for about 14 years of my life, since I was 4 years old, I've never had to move my jaw to try to do Vocal runs and rifts or to sing certain phrases and even when I try to move my jaw to imitate others who moves their jaw, it just feels weird and off.
No one can hear his lowest note. They had to confirm it with an instrument that can sense vibrations that low. Its not crap. If it is instrument confirmed I don't think you can argue with that.
Great rebranding, Peter, and fantastic video! Keep up the great work!
Thanks so much! I’m honored to have you keeping up with my channel :]
You are great Elizabeth . And Peter is on the right way !
@The Charismatic Voice I would love to see and hear your take on this kind of stuff as well!
Elizabeth.. did you see Peters 6 Octave scale run on his channel? damn impressive?
Collab! Colab!
Peter, Tim Foust, Geoff, and Eluzabeth!🥴
I dont think Elizabeth coukd stand it..lol

I'm almost there right behind you buddy. You're superhuman!
Peter have you this video of Tim going low low? th-cam.com/video/8jCPl7Rcmm0/w-d-xo.html
Hey Peter, I’m interested to what your lowest Chest fry/lowest note is.
And he also has a 10-octave voice range too.
Is he using only chest fry in this song? I thought he used chest fry, inhale singing and growl.
Tim storms definitely underrated, being he is the record holder for lowest note at 0.189 hz or around there, and when he sings especially in zambia, he is soft spoken, but the sound sounds like an earthquake

Schön dich wiederzusehen!
First bass reaction that made so much sense to me, your technical analysis just nailed the reaction for me! Kudos👍👍
I once heard him sing him live at church with just a piano and his quartet and he was amazing! And boy did he eat the mic! Lol!
It's always such a joy to watch your videos and hear your insight, especially as someone who enjoys the technicalities of singing...but doesn't know the ins and outs. This was interesting to listen to, even though my opinion about world records and the validity of it is up in the air.

I have never actually heard Tim before and holy mind blown. Wow, that's some amazing control. And even tho he's such a super low bass, this song just makes it sound like he's so much lower with that higher background.
DAMMNNNNNN, dude has got some serious range, here I was anticipating him singing in the basement the whole song then BAM higher ground, holy cow! That low to high rift really did sound like Geoff's low to high. (The voice itself not the rift)
I also must say, I know I say all the time about how I really love your reaction analysis but every week I appreciate more and more just how u explain things and how u do it a way that's not show boat-y or condescending like hey I know more than.

Great analysis. Keep up the good work.
Thanks for the Shout out to gospel basses...that's where I got my experience because when I was young that was the best route to go as a bass.
Have you heard Ken Turner sing Lonesome Road. He was a contemporary of JD Sommer and actually sang with him.
The one Mr Turner is best known for is "Rainbow of Love."
Thanks for the education about bass singing and your analysis.
1. Long time follower, so enjoy your analysis.

Day-to-day, my lowest chest-fry is a C#1 (some days I can get down to G0), been doing it for 30 years, and my accuracy and pitch control doesn't even begin to compare to this. Honestly, I don't believe anyone can chest-fry like Tim Storms.
Some people have talented strohbass.
@@bradycall1889, Tim is a strange mixture of chest, shrohbass, and fry. He flows through each part of his range/technique with incredible accuracy.
Ahahaha, and right after I comment on having seen physical movements to achieve certain vocal effects, here you’re discussing how some of that can be unnecessary or is something that training focuses on reducing. 😂 Once again, a neat educational video!
Hey Pete! Obviously late to this but happy to have found your channel nonetheless. A lot of artists aren’t able to give someone else their flowers without sprinkling back-handed compliments throughout. Really appreciated your break-down and analysis of this great performance. NOW - how do I get one of these hoodies?! I’d happily pay extra for having to make one since they’re not on the site anymore. 😭 Please, thanks again!
the record also states he has a 10 octave range, and the g-7 was recorded on professional equipment, so it's not really up for dispute
Great video! You hit that B0 but Tim just nails it and it sounds amazing. He may be part Sasquatch.
I remember Paul downings. Back on the day. I’m old lol. Paul talked naturally in c2
Peter you should check out his live version i think you'll be surprised at his live power
I love you Peter❤️
What do you think of Wolf Winters? I love when he sings "The Sound of Silence".
I was hoping you would sing with him, you too got a great bass voice.
Now for you to cover this Peter!
It is said the lower ones voice is the better they are at Vocal Control, so when I hair a bass being able to sing beautiful vocal rifts and some basses being able to sing in a Tenor's range, I'm not all that surprised.
I thought I'd need a Bassophilie shirt of my own but... Bass Gang merch kiiiinda fulfills that for me lol
Glad I found your channel. I have a deep voice. I've been told I fake it. I obviously don't but now I know the language to describe it. It's just natural for me to go into the "chest fry" as you describe it. The good thing is I have power behind it. Meaning I can call you through a din filled intersection from 100 yards away and you'll hear me. The bad thing is my voice carries when I don't want to be overheard. I've gotten in so much trouble in my life because of that.
This is a great reaction and analysis!!
Awesome to see a bass singer reacting to him and also your breakdown of this song is informational. Thank you for that.
That Guinness book of world record note G-7, in my view, I guess it is possible to reach that low of an octave but with a ton of practice probably.
Think of it in terms of frequencies.
A4 is 440 Hz, right? So A5 is twice 880Hz. But A3 is 220Hz
Now, to go from A3 to A4 one has to cover 220Hz vocally but from A4 to A5 it is twice the frequency interval.
So going down further, 110Hz is A2, 55Hz is A1. I bet you can see the pattern. The number of frequencies that are to be covered for going down octaves gets halved with each octave. So going down a certain number of frequencies the second time is not the same as going down the first time. So to reach -7th octave (that for me is still incomprehensible) maybe, he saw it as going down frequencies and not going down octaves. Now I’m saying this assuming that with practice one can go down or up a certain range of frequencies with the same amount of difficulty, otherwise it isn’t possible at all.
And also I don’t know for how long he held that note for some tech to understand and register the frequency and also how he could understand if that low note was a G.
It’s just too much isn’t it for normal people to ponder upon these extreme masterful feats?
G−7 = 0,189 Hz = 5,291 s for one period. in air with 20°C it is a wavelength of 1814.815m (5,291s *343m/s). it is more likely that they recorded the afterwave of an earthquake than that he did that note.
I wish a Bass singer would do that Lonesome Road by James Taylor
Peter would you please do a Tim Foust video sometime since he is the king of the technique that I don’t hear a lot about there’s not many if any videos on youtube and would love to watch a video where you dive into this technique the tim Foust special “growl note”
Question, is it normal if you can hear more notes when you hear low- or high notes? I could hear more notes when I was 15 until 38 years. Another odd thing was that I could hear ultrahigh notes. My range was almost the same as dolphins. Some ultrahigh notes even resonated that it sound even louder until it was very uncomfortable! Now I get older (54 years) it gladly fades away.The reason I love classical music from LP. I still hear that there are some high frequenties are filtered out op the first CDs.
Lots of great basses named Tim, Storm, Faust, Duncan, Reilly just to name a few.
Elizabeth is one of the best . As Julia Nilon is . And surely you , go ahead like that and thank you Peter for teach me and let me improve my musical knowledges .
U would have loved listening to my father sing - he was a Basso Bass - he could sing 1 full octave below the lowest key on a piano without standing close to the mike - while alive - he sang with the Goodtimes Charly Barbershop Quartet - in the 70s and 80s -
“He possesses a vocal range of 10 octaves (G/G#−5 to G/G#5). He has extended his lower range to G−7 (0.189 Hz) while breaking his own record for the widest vocal range for a male singer.” [cite: Wikipedia]
Scientists have proven he can sing below human hearing. I wonder what wildlife would be disturbed by his lower notes.

Hey, Peter, have you actually heard that G-7? I’m really curious what it sounds like.
It's 7 octaves below human hearing no one knows what it sounds like, if it's really loud you might feel it as rise in pressure.
You are a fantastic bass voice. I'm jealous. I've heard Tim's speaking voice before, and I think your natural chest voice may actually be a tiny bit lower than this. That said, for some reason, his B0 sounds more like a real pitch than yours. I can definitely hear the pitch with yours when listening carefully, but it kinda gets into that "The Grudge" or "clicky" sound, where it's hard to hear pitch. Does that make sense? Why do you think that is? Definitely subscribing, as you're the first "real" bass I've seen that does reactions. I'm also subscribed to Eric Holloway(who's another true bass), but he doesn't do reactions.
These guys could make a "Jake Break" jealous!

There are plenty of omg🤯🔥reaction channels, and I would hate to hear you say “C’mon now Y’all didn’t warn me about the dissonance!” You’re filling a niche, for bass enthusiasts who need a little elucidation if not education. Thanks for what you do.
You need to react to Tim Fount’s Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow/Stay mashup that he did! It’s incredible!
Bobby explained to me how y'alls vocal chords don't just explode (sadly I forgot 🙃), but I still can't comprehend HOW. Like... isn't there a point where it would? 😂
Not only does Tim hold the record for the lowest note but he also holds the record for the widest vocal range
Peter, I'd love to see you cover bass singers from other genre's, like southern gospel - contemporary christian music... Some of the best bass singers on the planet come out of southern gospel quartet singing...
Thank you!! I've been waiting for you to react and analyze. Great job!! J D Sumner next please?
Lol the bass will drop in May!
Tim storms from the side angle looks exactly like Bill Goldberg
Commenting in this video 2 years afeter but I hope some bass singer can answer a question I have.
Peter talked about chest fry and vocal fry in this video and I know that everyone actually have this register in the voice, but can Tenors have some quality in this registers as well? I mean, I'm probably a tenor but I like bass singing, even though I know I'd never reach and E1 (actually not even a D2 in a normal situation) I wanna know if it's possible to have this same thickness in chest fry and vocal fry like bass singers have, because I've already tried to do this and sounds very ugly. Is it just a training matter or it's actually a phisical limit for tenors because of the not thick vocal folds we have?
Great to hear from another bass singer those comments which I already could tell about those -7 claims 😉😉 BTW His lowest note was Eb1 on this song with that three note line Eb1 E1 F#1. And that Low E1 he is holding the chords are changing but he holds E for those two chords. It is E7 with a natural 9 at first then E7 b9 ... I have a suspicion about this recording . I think he is lip syncing on his own recording. Because Voice dynamics do not change even when he moves his head and sometimes his mouth movements does not match. I am so fed up with all these hype trying to be created with those stupid numbers I promise you that will burn my Jazz Diploma as soon as someone sings all the notes on the piano to prove their claims live... Even I can Chest Fry notes as a Baritone guy who used to have a 4 octave voice before I have damaged my falsetto. Now 3.5 Octaves. Claiming a negative octave is ridiculous because it is supernatural and against science of sound. Theoretically Lowest a sound can go and accepted as sound probably is 1 hz and that is C-4 which is 1.021974864455459 Hz so claiming lower than that is not even possible with digital equipment 🤣🤣
Im not sure Tim is chest frying his E1. There's maybe a blind spot about mentioning "controled fry" . If he's not, that explains a lot about how smoothly softy, he slides up and down with that control. I have to consider he has longer vocal cords, more difficult to pitch but very flexible. I don't know overall.
I enjoyed this analysis very much!
I think you can't get so much bass from chest fry even if you use a lot of eq. And additionally the lower you go with your chest fry, the more cracky it sounds and the less bass frequencies it consists of. But here you can't hear any cracks, just pure, smooth chest notes. And there's a video where he sings to a B-1 and there's still a lot of low frequencies there and nearly no cracking sound. My conclusion is that even if he uses a chest fry at some point it starts much lower than most people think. I would guess it's somewhere in 0 octave or even lower. His chest voice goes very low.

I would love to see a breakdown of this.
Can anyone tell me which techniques is Tim Storms using? I believe that he has a big vocal range, but those low notes are certainly not chest voice.
Strohbass/vocal fry
@@bradycall1889 Nowadays I'd say chest fry and fry. But thanks
Basses are just different.🎵
Had to watch that video of his because Avi had a fanboy moment during a PTX tour when Tim showed up. Obviously, just by reputation alone, it's impressive. But to make Avi freak out like that? Yeah, that's something to keep an eye on right there.
Awesome job Peter I really enjoyed this I would recommend you look at Tim Foust's Come go with me it's lots of fun keep up the great work!😁
I've always been curious who has the lowest full chest voice. If anyone seeing this knows, please let me know.
Eric Holloway, Glenn Miller, Elliott Robinson, and Mark McCulley are four names that come to mind for lowest chest ranges on the planet
@@PeterBarber Appreciate the reply! I don't think I've ever heard Mark McCulley, so I'll have to check him out.
I think your second attempt at the B0 only got to C#1, but the first sounded like it got there.
Can you do a chest-fry tutorial? I have been looking for a good one for so long
Could you explain more about chest fry technique?
Hey! How would one go about learning bass techniques? Would any average singing coach know where to begin? Or should I seek out a bass singer coach specifically?
You should watch paul david kennamers how great thou art. I feel like it’s the only other recording that is almost as bassy as this lol.
He holds the world record for lowest note sang (since 2012), but before him, it was JD Sumner who held it for 18 years before that.
JD held and still holds the real record... Tim's claim(or Guinness's) is utter BS!
@@yelyharmony2047 Talk to the Guinness then
@@belinda9696 I don't have to talk to anybody...Guinness can give the record to Tim,to Tom or to your grandma...I don't care...
But if you think any human can go 7-8 octaves below the piano WITH HIS VOICE/VOCAL CORDS you're an idiot!
You're welcome!
I honestly don't know how people move their jaws while singing, like when you mentioned that people move their jaws when doing Rifts and Runs, there are also some who move their jaws when singing Vibrato. I know the head movement while singing Vibrato is most likely when their Vibratos are heavy or weighty, but as a person who never had vocal training, but have just been singing for about 14 years of my life, since I was 4 years old, I've never had to move my jaw to try to do Vocal runs and rifts or to sing certain phrases and even when I try to move my jaw to imitate others who moves their jaw, it just feels weird and off.
No one can hear his lowest note. They had to confirm it with an instrument that can sense vibrations that low. Its not crap. If it is instrument confirmed I don't think you can argue with that.
I guess though I respectfully disagree and doubt that he actually sang a G-7, there is a slight chance someone might change my mind but idk for sure.
You MUST do a reaction video of Jeff Chapman!!!
Bruh..................your chest fry was NASTY...I mean that with FULL RESPECT!!!!
Ayyyy thanks brother! Hope you’re doing well 👊🏼
I never understood the qualifications for the lowest note. Like is it just chest notes? Or any technique?
Yeah!! Gimme that Hoodie!!!
What if it just sounds like chest fry? What if it isn't even fry? Personally I don't think it is chest fry.
How come?
so funny how you try to fry the notes where tim doesn`t fry
Make a reaction to Jd sumner please
tim storms lowest chest note is actually Eb1
Tim storms lowest chest note is F#1/F1 and below that is chest fry
B0 with A0 notes at the end
