Wait, where's the drum set? See that tall skinny guy with the dark blond hair? THAT is the drum set. He's also any birds chirping, any harmonicas, crickets, wind blowing, and on and on. He's not a beatboxer, he's an alien who can mimic just about any sound.

The bass name is Tim. He has a 5 octave range: A0-A5

[@KillerTruffle]

I believe in Misty Mountains, he's actually edged it down to G#0-A5. Regardless, his range is ridiculously impressive.

[@keoashford1924]

@@KillerTruffle No, Tim displays a G#1 in Misty.

[@KillerTruffle]

@@keoashford1924 Where is confirmation on this? Because I've seen this debate, and I have personally compared the end note of Misty Mountains against a number of samples of G#1, and Tim is clearly an octave below that. It's a growl, not a chest note, but I have found nothing actually supporting it being a G#1. It matches G#0, and is a half step below his A0 in Sold! (which I have also checked against a number of A0 samples to confirm a match, as well as A1 samples to confirm it is an octave lower). If you have more solid evidence than this that it is indeed G#1, I'm interested to see it.

[@keoashford1924]

@@KillerTruffle The A0 does not exist in Sold. There is a video on Dan Mirabel's channel where Tim video responds to a question about the A0. Tim's growl in Misty is only a first octave note, and it's very obvious when taken to a keyboard. Sorry if your aural skills aren't on par mate.

[@KillerTruffle]

​@@keoashford1924 I looked at that video (hadn't seen it before), and it's a little short of a confirmation. He said "I believe... but my memory's not great." That does raise more into question, but I still do not see concrete evidence that it's not an A0. In fact, nowhere in Tim's reply did he state that the note was an A1 rather than A0. The only question Tim's response even touches on is who actually sang the note - he "believes" it was Adam. Which if that's true, I just got a whole lot more respect for Adam too - and he's already one of my favorites in the group (great sounding bass in Mayday), if it's possible to have favorites when every one of them is amazing. I will admit I do not have a keyboard handy to track along with the notes and have only been able to make due with finding other note samples online, but I'll look into it some more.

Check out Home Free's channel, especially their videos from 2 & 3 years ago where they breakdown each new album with facts as to why & how it was included or the "feel" they wanted as they were preparing to record. Yes, Tim Foust is the predominate bass of Home Free but Adam Chance (referred to as Chance so as to not be confused with the beatboxer, Adam Krupp). Chris Rupp, the brainchild of Home Free (brother to Adam Rupp, the beatboxer) is the one with the cowboy hat in the videos.

[@rllangevin3841]

Fellow Canadian here - you must continue your journey and reactions to Home Free - they have a huge catalogue of covers and originals in many genres. In additional to their amazing harmonies, they have been putting out a new video every 2 weeks (throughout Covid*) - the 5 guys live in 3 different states, so when you listen to some of their Covid-work bear in mind they are NOT recording them together. So, so good! Some recommendations: Country Roads (took them 5 years to hone/perfect their arrangement as they wanted to do it right), Quarantine* (hilarious!), Meet in the Middle*, Hillbilly Bone, Heaven, Cover Me Up*, In the Blood, Helplessly Hoping and so, so many more. The rabbit hole is deep, you will NOT be disappointed. Enjoy!

[@drieuxkoeppel8152]

Tim Foust is one of the finest basses in the world today. Bar none. The beatboxer, Adam Rupp, has won many beatboxing competitions.

The Home Free Bass is Tim Foust, the high tenor at the beginning was Austin Brown, their tenor (guy with the beard and glasses) is Rob Lundquist, beritone here in this video is Chris Rupp who founded the group, but he left in 2016 to have a solo career, and was replaced by Adam Chance (but called in the group & by fans just Chance), and the beatboxer is 2 time world Champion beat boxer Adam Rupp. They can do all genre's of music, they have covered BoyzIIMen, and dozens of country artists but also some of their own originals. They have also collabed with Lee Greenwood, Kenny Rogers & the Oak Ridge Boys, We the fans call ourselves Home Fries. Also look for their cover of How Great Thou Art, an original Why Not ?, and their latest came out just this past Saturday....a cover of a Foy Vance song called Moonshine. There is video to of Adam Rupp's "drum solo" which has no drums here on KZbin. They give him a solo part at each of their concerts. I've seen them twice in concert...they also are still in Quarantine and have produced 10 new videos/songs since it all started. Their Quarantine song is funny, shows their sense of humor.

It was fun to see this reaction. The men of Home Free are: Austin Brown - high tenor Rob Lundquist - tenor, has beard Chris Rupp - baritone, often wears a cowboy hat, brother to Adam, founder of group Tim Foust - bass Adam Rupp - beatboxer, occasionally sings baritone, brother of Chris, founder of group In 2016, Chris left the group and a new baritone Adam Chance (goes by Chance to avoid confusion with Adam Rupp) was added. Chance can also sing bass which allows them more vocal freedom when Tim sings lead. When they decide to do a song, whether a cover or original, they have a sing off between themselves to come up with a lead singer. So some songs have more than one lead. They are known for great harmonics and humor especially during live shows. If something goes wrong on stage they are known to make fun of it and just keep the audience (and themselves) entertained. They have both serious and comedic songs and videos. Fans are referred to as Home Fries, a name created by Ben Folds when Hone Free was on the Sing-Off.

I would recommend, Hallelujah or Bohemian Rhapsody, which has Avi Kaplan, the original bass, and Sound of Silence, which has their new bass, Matt Sallee, who took over for Avi, when he left for personal reasons.

I really think some of their original work is fantastic with Avi - like "Love Again" or "Sing" - but my favorites of their newer stuff is "Come Along" or "Deep End"
