Sometimes I get so tired of trying to keep a presence on the internet but then you go and read all these nice comments and you get a little bit of a boost to keep visible. Big love

[@snoriethegreat5066]

Man just found out about you today your to fuckin dope love from cali also that shit ratchet face you did back when was fire stay up bro

[@flamshady4402]

Been watching you ever since your apperance on ted

[@mathiasdeclippeleir6150]

You don't have to worry about presence! I'd rather have an artist deliver quality music which i can keep listening every day than someone who's in your face all the time :p just keep doing what you do :D

[@zxncofficial]

Nice

[@marctestarossa]

You lift the art of beatboxing from a cool skill, technically difficult and simply fun novelty to a true art form that is capable of thoughtful expression and create musical pieces.

[@Tonyhouse1168]

Tom: takes a sip of water Everyone: hey, who cut the speakers!?!!??!

[@astroash]

And it all started with one Ted talk!

[@ARZ10198]

Yeah from there I became his fan

[@ARZ10198]

Do you the name of the sounds he makes at 1:28 ?

[@standalone2358]

He was a champion beatboxer longer before Ted.

[@EnglishBloke]

Started? How do you think he got to the Ted Talk?

[@zainekatsumi]

Yep his journey started from there.

[@asmrbiggiep119]

Alright... tom thum is just evolving beatboxing as a whole. It’s a whole new level of music experimentation.

[@TFPianime]

Ikr I was blown away by this ... I'm just a pianist coming across this as a fan of beatboxing (I don't know many of them) and these people are amazing

[@DoobieFerguson]

This has been going on for years now and he most certainly isnt the only one to do it. Wouldn't even say he's the best to do it. Check out Saro

[@bbglas007]

@@DoobieFerguson In the realm of arts, I don't think the word "best" has much weight to it

[@keytostart7053]

Search for swissbeatbox KZbin channel and drop some molly. Your welcome 👍

[@blairhamilton6219]

I’ll add dub fx to this list, his street gigs from 09 laid the foundations for this style

[@Zarate217]

9:38 this is the single most epic sound I’ll ever need in my life ever.

[@raymondmills4830]

it is indeed verr nice

[@uncharted6197]

That sounds like something you would hear when you're in or near my car

[@tediiacob5901]

listen to tomazacre, d-low, codfish, napom and many others from swissbeatbox. I'm sure you'll find many more epic sounds you'll enjoy ;)

[@12stepsbeyondtheeventhorizon]

He's original and brave. The scene needs more of that. What a legend.

[@sidtheguy313]

I'm a simple person I see Tom thumb in the title I click 👍

[@medichillxtx9752]

The track he lays down at 4:57 is outrageous. Such phenomenal pump and drive. Tom Thumb has got to be one of the most imaginative and innovative beat boxers out there today. I agree with other commentators here, he takes this thing to a whole new level.

[@serpentes9818]

Dude i.fucking rewatched that part like at least 30 yes, it was such a pump

[@toxicvillain]

Best heard from 3:27.

[@the_irav]

Had he done this during the '80s and '90s we would've become world wide famous in big ways

[@omegajrz1269]

​@@serpentes9818I too

[@penyagaming2769]

Hands up who first saw tom thum on TEDx

[@NinjasKill123]

8:40 The way he transitions into the piece is phenomenal! Creating each part while giving a dialogue distracts from the fact he's inputting all the parts. Then it drops and you realize you've been had. Keep doing what you do.

[@maliainman8930]

That part honestly made me wet.

[@GaleBeatbox]

Always pushing creativity love this bloke! ❤️🇦🇺🤙🏻

[@jackwebb8174]

7:32 is incredible, never seen a loop used like that and is so atmospheric 😍😍

[@schmimp1333]

jack webb then you’ve never seen Tom thum before this I imagine

[@jackwebb8174]

Schmimp oh I have but I haven’t seen that before 😂

[@LuisJayanata]

[@aSinisterKiid]

Tom is hands down one of the absolute greatest musicians to ever live. He is just soooooo talented, it's inspiring. He always leaves me amazed after every performance. Every single time. He's brilliant.

[@lisazenetti2529]

I always heard of beatboxing in my 30 years of life, and always seen just little clips where I was thinking "Oh, nice". And lately, because of one german dude who is into beatbox I thought to myself "Oh, let´s see what this beatbox thingies actually have of a variety". And when I found Tom Thum.... Holly Smokes, this is incredible! This guy does incredible things. Can´t wait to discover more, Tom is really just f***ing WOW!!!

[@joe-ok7xz]

this guy makes better music with his mouth than most people in the charts lmao

[@Sheenifier]

2:55 I love that interaction! "What was that?" "I don't really have a name for it" Someone asked him a question and if I wasn't listening intently to crowd I'd thought his response was part of his normal routine

[@smsy1756]

A drowning cat.

[@Josh_H148]

Tom Thum is the G.O.A.T beatboxer

[@Vexy_Wexy]

I love how he fkd up a little and still went through it with a good attitude and a smile on his face.🤘🏼❤️

[@JVDYN]

THIS GUY IS JUST A FREAKING LEGEND! MUCH MUCH MUCH LOVE AND RESPECT BROTHER! Such a humble soul! This showcase was amazing to see! I remember watching your Ted talk ages ago and that was also what sparked my interest in Beatboxing as well as many others. Always pushing music to another level and just killing it everytime! Keep it going brother Thum!! ❤️‼️

[@GRiZZZLe8]

I followed him from tedX also..this man is pure legend! Very creative..KUDOS BROTHER THUM! ;)

[@kyrkbymannen]

He’s really on another level compared to the masses

[@lauxmos]

Tom is a person incredible! 👑 King of the beatbox

[@callmelao389]

11:50 and onwards is dope as hell... Just.... awesome. Well, the entire show was awesome just that bit at the end really hit my spots! Keep it up

[@mauriciocapovilla]

holy sht this guy is a genious! true artist! wish he had some produced songs on spotify or something

[@mauriciocapovilla]

no way! just found out he HAS! NICE!

[@cherls15]

This man's sounds... sometimes it touches something so deep inside for me that it's painfully indescribable. What a gift to us all... 😍❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@Hathorien]

Still my nr 1 beatboxer. Tom Thum is the pillar of 20th century beatbox evolution. Yes 0:10 1:55 2:26 2:52 4:55 5:28 7:32 - - - - > and beyond🚀!

[@cherls15]

The genius in this man is breathtaking and so mind blowing that I feel dizzy when listening to him. Thank you Tom for being alive!

[@JodyAikens]

All I can say is he was on 🔥

[@mattie3349]

The amasing thing with him is he isn’t afraid to push the boundaries of what we know of beatbox today! He will go above and beyond to Create a new style! Definitely the god of human beats, him and codfish would be a crazy set

[@asit6947]

They are opposites, codfish sticks to the tried and tested basics. Tom is experimental

[@kbh590]

Incredible! I have binged Tom Thum today and just realized I have been smiling non-stop for two hours. You truly need to share your story, as people would love to know how you developed this artistry and craft. It's so f'in amazing.

[@swingin871]

If one doesn't move the hands, does one really beatbox?

[@toyota4847]

They just feel the music.

[@jacobgaming-ez5dc]

why is this so true

[@MrAbfrost1975]

@@hazwanbadrunsham924 this is so true hence why Vocal Percussion is such a different style as with this video where you don't cup the mic and use both hands to mime a drum set. This was just the beginning of the solo.Love Tom Thum though! kzbin.info/www/bejne/mqWpnYWAmZp3b9E

[@yeetyboii]

I swear it just starts happening on its own as soon as you beatbox xD

[@kruse8888]

It all depends on the box used😉

This was probably the most amazing live set I’ve ever witnessed

[@timdrechsel18793]

[@noorazmi2329]

not really. because tom know it is normal to him.

[@Spirit444]

WOW, And i thought Saro was genius, damn this guy is in touch with his Pineal Gland, very spiritual indeed, i don't say this lightly as you can imagine, your on a another spiritual level Tom Thum, peace to you my man.....!

[@whatisiswhatable]

That set was dope. Last song was fire. Tom definitely deserves bigger crowds worldwide.. crowds outside of beatboxing too.

[@22alfatih]

I love Tom..he is a friendly, creative, and party lover alien.

[@vincentmullett9881]

Would love to see Tom Thum and Michael Winslow collaborate on something together. For me, these two have set the standard for beatboxing as a whole.

I have had to pause the video at 6:26 because as I'm scrolling and seeing comments I am seeing a recurring reference to 9:49 in a really bizarre strange but good way I am so anxious to hear it because at this point already I am truly speechless. I cannot wait to get to that point!!!

[@elusivegaming1500]

tom you are so unbelievably talented i cant wait to see more

[@chadcunnington7152]

So amazing to see how far beatboxing has come, since it's inception, but, Tom Thum is the best, hands down I remember seeing him in Brisbane, when was still coming up, and he has advanced so far, with such great musicality, plus, I've yet to see anybody, that can match his vocal scratching skills Ironically for those who dont know, he actually started out as a Graffiti Artist, a B-Boy, an MC, and then a Beatboxer, so, he's just an all round talent Sure, there are a lot of great MC's, DJ's, B-Boys, Beatboxers, and Graffiti Artists out there, but, how many can actually say that they've mastered every element of Hip-Hop ???

[@breemo82]

I just discovered you while trying to distract myself from the transition time this world is in, and I felt inspired again. So THANK YOU 😇🥰 YOU are one of the most talented and captivating musical artists I have EVER seen. You have that X-factor, and, I can sense, is so very humble, which is extraordinary...and very rare in this world. Love and light to you and keep owning the game😇😊🥰😎

[@LTM.0718]

[@jjutt87]

Phenominal, display! Excellent show! Thanks to KZbin, everyone who put this show together, and these pre-covid live concert memories. .. My first observation was where are all the black/native folks (as originators of beatbox/music) in the audience, but then I wondered if this was a ticketed event, and how much were tickets and all that. Soo many dope show out there I wish I could have afforded.

[@camc123456]

The things this man can do with his mouth and some tech is just beautiful man. More authentic than some studio produced beats. Much love Tom!

[@krissprolss06]

Man, i don't know if you realize the talent you got. You are a bloody terrific beatboxer for sur, but you manage with so many others aspects of the music in general (time, mesure, tempo, break etc and everything needed to make true music with true instruments and you are a singer with that). This is insane, your are a genius (sorry for my doubtful english)
