Adam plays multiple instruments for real too! He gets his lung capacity and breath control from playing the trumpet. He has played trumpet since very young and majored in trumpet performance in college! Plays almost all of the reed and wind instruments, also drums, keyboard and electric bass guitar! EXTREMELY talented! I'm very glad that you checked out one of his videos and he is even better now! Thanks!

Believe it or not, some of the sounds he makes while inhaling. That's how he can do it without passing out. He learned enough drums to make the correct movements. This is like 6 years old so you can imagine how he has only gotten better. He now uses a live looper in the shows for his solo so essentially creates a song with layers of his sounds and beats live, at every live performance. Seriously, what he produces now on stage live...if he recorded it and put it out there to buy, I'd get it.

Inhaled and circular breathing techniques are paramount to beatboxing... Adam is definitely a master at what he does.

Yes, he has invisible drum set IN HIS MOUTH. He is a two time world champion beat boxer, voted by his piers in the industry...so serious beat boxers. Now you understand why we Home Fries call him our "Freak of Nature."

@@LadyDragonsblood Adam told himself during a meet and greet that he never competed worldwide.

yes he can sing....but he is sorta shy about it because the other guys in Home Free are excellent....but they have songs where they don't need a beat and sing 5 part harmony and he keeps up his end quite well.

And he has only gotten better like fine wine. They are a Vocal Band. He has a beautiful tenor voice.

Okay, in case no one has told you yet, Home Free WON SEASON 4 of NBC's THE SING-OFF [Pentatonix won Season 3]. The Sing-Off is a LIVE A CAPELLA competition which means, no musical instruments allowed. This is what separates them from other singing competitions, i.e. American Idol, America's got Talent, among others. VoicePlay, another awesome A Capella Vocal group competed with Home Free in Season 4 and finished 5th but their videos are all over KZread and they're one of the favorites among fans of this genre. Adam Rupp is the co-founder of Home Free and he is known to have bested world beatboxing/vocal percussion at least twice. thanks

The look on your face when Adam said "reverse it" was absolutely priceless. Love your reactions and so happy you're doing some Home Free. For some fun check out their "Butts Medley" it shows their fun goofy side but the talent is still mind blowing!!!

Oh yes your reaction was classic! I've actually seen him do this live it is phenomenal!

Yes, Adam can also sing. But he prefers beatboxing. And the reason he looks like he's hitting the right drums at the right time is that he learned to play drums so that his technique is correct. There have been several reactors that are drummers that have remarked on just how realistic his vocal drumming is in comparison to how they would do it on a real set.

Acepella bands have beatboxers, Adam Rupp is the best. I have personally seen them, and yes he does only use his mouth.

Jojo, the expressions on your face are PRICELESS! So glad you have dropped into the Home Free rabbit hole.

Adam is a freak of nature. He is the best. Watching your reaction has been so much fun 😁😆

Adam harmonizes with the other guys in songs like Helplessly Hoping and Brothers in Arms. You can here him do a small solo part in How Great Thou Art. ALL amazing. Can never go wrong with Home Free.

Are you in shock?? ADAM RUPP IS THE GOAT

They are an a cappella group. Adam is the beatboxer and vocals. All the other guys can beatbox a little. He’s a world class beatboxer, literally. Word is, two time world champion.

Love Adam Rupp & his insane talent. He is the best out there in my opinion. He simulates the sounds of a drum perfectly. Many drummers have commented on how good he is. He sounds so realistic. His breath control must be crazy. I heard he makes the sounds both while inhaling & exhaling. This was a few years ago & hard to believe but he is even better now. Adam is the glue that holds Home Free together. He is their secret weapon which other a cappella groups can't match.

That man is BEYOND TALENTED

You can hear him sing in Helplessly Hoping as well as How Great Thou Art, which are both pure five part harmony, but he’s pretty hidden though in both of them, he’s a beautiful tenor though

He can sing. He normally doesn't; but he certainly can. "How Great Thou Art", "Helplessly Hoping" are good examples of his singing.

I honestly love his harmonica…

Hahaha told ya! He is what Home Free calls a freak of nature. Home Free doesn’t need instruments when you have Adam. He learned to play drums so he could get the hand movements right when doing his sounds. I agree with you….how does he breathe? I know he’s inhaling and exhaling when doing those sounds but still….it’s a puzzle. Adam does sing too…he’s a tenor when he sings. He doesn’t sing often though. Good reaction. We figured you needed to hear him live so you would understand. He’s amazing!

In the Home Free songs Working for a Living and Man of Constant Sorrow Adam does an amazing harmonica too. And if you listen carefully throughout Man of Constant Sorrow, as well as the first and last musical sounds you hear, you'll hear a Jew's harp, also called a jaw harp or mouth harp. That's not Adam, that's Chance, the guy in the black vest. Some have called it a didgeridoo, but a didgeridoo is the deeper notes you hear in this video, right after Tim says "deep in the Southern outback."

Adam is the best 💯

Ok Jojo, since you watched that one go to KZread and check this one out Home Free - 9 to 5 + Beatboxing Breakdown, October 27, 2015. All the guys join in on this one. I think you'll enjoy it.

Lol. Adam is THE Freak. Peace, Love!

I think his talent goes WAY beyond just making the beat. His sound effects are incredible.

Adam Rupp can sing and he does sing on a few of the hymns. Check out How Great Thou Art , if you want to hear a beautiful version of the song and hear Adam sing a small part of this song. Adam Rupp is truly an extraordinary talent. Some people call him the "secret weapon" for Home Free. He is also one of the original members of the group..

He has a beautiful singing voice. You need to check out Home Free. He does the beat boxing for the band and they are absolutely the best.

is there any song by home free where adam rupp sings?

Yo, this is the best reaction I have ever seen to Adam's drum solo. He can sing too!! He's a tenor!

hehe Adam is known as a freak of nature. I contend he swallowed a drum kit when he was 5. I believe Chris, his brother, forced it down his throat because Chris new he was going to start an a cappella group. The trick is to learn to make each sound on both an inhale and exhale and/or organize a set where you make sounds that allow you to breath while still making a sound. If you listen closely you can almost hear the sounds he makes while inhaling and while exhaling.

This one still impresses me, eventhough I have seen it many times..I have also seen them live, and he does a whole different version.....He is awesome at what he does

That was one of his early performances. He has improved alot since then.

I hereby submit that JoJo be made an honorary citizen of Missouri, due to his steadfast application of the state motto "Show Me".

Yes, he can sing!! Watch anything from Home free!

Amazing and has gotten better during these last six years.

LOLOLOL…..Adam actually took drum lessons to correctly have the Roget hand positions 🥰‼️👍 And, he’s 2 championships for his expertise 💥🥰‼️👍 He’s been called a “Freak of Nature”…..LOLOL‼️🤣🙃😂 And, it’s a riot to see on concert…..I was sitting about 10’ in front of him…IMPRESSIVE 👍❤️🥰‼️💥

I 💗 Adam! He's out here single handedly ENDING Skrillex's career... all unplugged, in your face and unapologetically!!! LMAO "does he have a hidden drum set somewhere?" ... only the one he swallowed.... Also "is he allergic to breathing!?!" Took me all the hell the way out!!!

Listen to "How great Thou Art" Adam Rupp has a solo line half way through the song. It is the only time I have heard him actually do a lead role. It is short, and his voice is a second tenor range, but the boy can sing and harmonize.

You can inhale through your nose while make noise. It's called circular breathing....very hard to do....

Adam Rupp blew your mind yes he is that good

And that is how it is done. Great reaction

On the old record players, to reverse the song, you put the needle on the record and turn it backwards by hand. The sound will still pick up, but backwards.

World class. They can all beat box. Check out 9 to 5 live version for that

Yes, that's really him doing that. Thank you for such a good reaction, I can't stop smiling.

He is the best without a doubt. Yes he can sing.

Actually, you can sorta breathe in through your nose and out your mouth at the same time. It's called "circular breathing", but I've only ever seen brass/woodwind instrument players use it.

Adam also does the nomonica HA HA harmonica. He also has a honey sweet tenor voice which you can hear a short solo on the video song How great thou art. Love the look in you eyes when Adam started doing his second half . Say Hi to your dad for me and tell him I said he raised one heck of a fine son.

I got to see Home Free Live back in 2019. Adam did this exact same solo. They are truly 100 percent acappella. Adam is amazing. So is the rest of Home Free.. My fav is Austin though. lol

Your face is fantastic! Adam is a world Award winner for beatboxing vocal percussion! I heard another reactor, sorcerer or an alien. I'm have seen him do it it live, totally amazing!

In the GA drum solo he sings billy jean the same time her is beat boxing. And at the same time I mean 2 sounds coming out of him at once.

Yes, he can sing too. Great reaction 🤘🔥🤘

They are classed as a vocal band. He makes his sounds while breathing both in and out.

Hes highly gifted. God gave gifts and talents unto all mankiind .

I'm with ya. He's either an alien or a wizard.

He's a phenom no doubt. He has more recent performances of that solo now...you should check it out. He gets better and better and shows you more and more of his talents. He can sing...he can be heard in several of their songs where they do five part harmony. He's often called "The Freak Of Nature" but lovingly so. He was crowned world champion Beatboxer two times. He creates many of the arrangements for the songs Home Free does. Great reaction. glad to see you watch this one. If ever you doubted them, hope this put it to rest!

I had to play that video for my mama, who loves Home Free but did NOT believe there weren't drums until I proved it. Now we watch for him acting out the beats on different songs. He's a champion beatboxer with about 15 years' experience.

I grew up on vinyl. Record players do not spin backwards. But then someone took theirs apart and free wheeled the turn table. It then became a product and the called it a turn table. Specifically for scratch.

The “freak of nature”. He definitely earned the nickname.

They call Adam a freak of nature and yes he can sing.

If you listen closely, you can hear him inhale (easier at the beginning of the video). And some sounds are made while inhaling, like cymbals.

Yes he can sing to, watch home free man of constant sorrow

Adam is a champion beatboxer for real

Yes, Adam can sing also.....check out 'How Great Thou Art'

Awesome Video! Yes Adam is Awesome too! Can’t wait to see Home Free live again in Chattanooga TN March 3rd

This is an old video and he's got even better in recent videos. Just brilliant.

Lol... Just think how many times...his mom popped him upsides the head for making noise...goes to show..you never know what you're gonna be when you grow up...I'm sure his mom thought he would grow up to be quiet.... Btw...love your shirt...very cool message...🌿🌿🌿

Absolutely awesome 👌 👏 👍 😍

i've seen him twice and he is even better live

Watching you react to this and the other videos of Home Free is flat out some of the most enjoyable YT I have watched.

It is all him :)

I believe you would really enjoy their cover of "Brothers in Arms"

One of many alien skills is that he does in fact breathe in through his nose while making noises with his mouth. The amount of air he can use through his mouth while doing it is tiny so it has to be incredibly quick. And all the air he's got for mouth noises has to be trapped in front of the vocal cords so he can't use voice while doing it. But he can sustain hi-hat noises at regular drumkit speeds for as long as he likes.

8:38 yea he is a Rupp fan now!

Keep watching Adam Rupp in more Videos....then you'll see why he's got stamina and makes all these sounds!!! He's got a neck like a Linebacker!!!

First time seeing this guy myself. That was pretty cool.

He can singgg! Also play the harmonica with his hands and mouth

They call him the Freak of nature! They say he was always in trouble at school for making mouth noises as a kid. He made it pay though...

Greetings from a danish fry / new sub now you know why we call him Adam FREAK OF NATURE Rupp he does a deum solo in every 2 hour concert i´ve heard drummers say they never thought they would be impressed by a drum solo without drums and a DJ just smiled and said Well there goes my job LOL

He sings too. Him & his brother started the band. Adam Rupp is only founder still in the band 2day.

There were a lot of people who said that he’s not a real or true beatboxer and that Home Free uses real musical instruments. Well, this should prove them wrong. Them, meaning music critic’s

Yes he can see too!

That is beat box at the highest level. Some of the sounds he makes are from his inhaling.
