[@DrumRollTonyReacts]

So I changed my style on reacting to these with letting each phase play without stopping - Let me know what you think 👀

[@felixschneider1398]

Actually prefer it this way. That’s way you get to experience the hype in each round more

[@kel6884]

^agree

[@williamzimmerman3847]

I agree

[@troyboi7662]

This is a good idea. I was fine with you pausing like you did before, but this is a great solution to make everyone happy haha. Let us have a good solid straight reaction for a song, then go back and dissect. Good idea!

[@maurock98]

Yessss, I totally agree 💯

[@petttybettty]

You are the first reactor ever, even compared to beatboxers, that fully understood What Helium was doing in his complex arrangement and didn't say he was off beat.

[@DrumRollTonyReacts]

That section was the best thing I have heard on any beatbox video so far

[@MiyamotoDGuts]

I mean he is a drummer so he's real smart on tech I would assume

[@Limitless_King]

True 👍

[@unoit4715]

spot on betty!

[@dominicbreen5969]

Another reason I keep saying this guys my fav bbx reactor I’ve ever seen. Genuine appreciation and understanding. It’s great. Just wish I could get into some of his other content as much

[@jhsofficialbluray4573]

you're genius man, you said everything perfectly , i can clearly say that after being in beatbox community for years that you're the first non beatboxer who gets every details , not even beatboxers mention this types of details, i prefer this kinda long video where you analysize , although its on you do what you like

[@DrumRollTonyReacts]

That's a very nice comment. Thanks for watching the video 🤟

[@Lucisael]

The new format is great I think! Also D-low said he changed his vote to Inertia at the last second so the judging was much closer than it might seem at first.

[@ginja9722]

Yea he was plugging his ear to hear himself better, the live show of the GBB 2021 had a lot of monitor and feedback issues so you can sometimes see these artists doing what they can to deal with it. these videos are adjusted to fix those feedback issues they had so you cant really tell but they still did an amazing job.

[@TheDeadStretch]

"Which way is the air going on that?" The most legit beatbox question asked that has no context anywhere else. lmao

[@rainman4189]

i know what you are meaning with "i hate those fake reactions", thats why i like to watch your more analytic reaction videos... But this "fake reaction guy" is actual a legend in the beatbox scene. And he`s not faking, he`s really THAT crazy & extroverted^^. His name is BBK and he is in the scene for over a decade. And his reactions are became a meme over the years, that`s why the camera guys point the cam at him nowerdays xD So let`s just enjoy this as just funny reactions, because you will see him in a lot of the beatbox battles videos ;-)

[@DrumRollTonyReacts]

So dude is the meme guy that the camera pans to. LOL ok... even more reason to ham it up. Not organic at all. Cool that he is a legend. That stuff just makes me LOL, tis all.

[@chemset475]

I'm a huge beatbox nerd of 10+ years and this is one of my favorite reaction videos ever. Love your thoughtful appreciation and insight. Don't feel pressured to shorten your process, this is wonderful content and I can say for me that it was a joy to watch. Thanks! Permanent vote from me for more beatbox content! :D

[@asylumental]

I was so excited to not only see another beatbox reaction but also to see how long the video was!! Very good analysis, and I'd say that not all the judges are as rhythmically intelligent as you so maybe they didn't catch on to how difficult that round was, but another aspect to it that doesn't come through the video audio is how powerful inertia is... he's a super loud beatboxer and one of the only beatboxers capable of hitting true sub bass so it shakes your chest and leaves a lasting impression beyond the rymthical patterns. Also the X means the judge wanted and overtime, but there are no overtime rounds in this even so he was essentially throwing away his vote

[@felixschneider1398]

So what would happen if there five x‘s?

[@asylumental]

@@felixschneider1398 they would have had to do a revote because they weren't allowing overtime rounds in this event... Or maybe they would have bent the rules but I don't think so

[@jonasgold4745]

I am pretty sure the judges are capable of understanding the complexity and techniques but there are a bunch of factors that lead them to their decisions. I really started digging into the beatbox battle scene right before that event and back then I was like "what the hell, how can Helium lose this?" But the more you watch and deeper you dive into the rabbit hole the better you'll become at understanding and anticipating the judges decisions.

[@asylumental]

@@jonasgold4745 I've been beatboxing for 5-6 years and was watching beatbox for 3-4 years before that... so I'm not sure if you're trying to educate me or what the deal is here.... I will reiterate and say that beatboxers like inertia wouldn't recognize the difficulty of the off beat timing signatures that helium does, because that's not what they practice. P4tenkata for sure would recognize it, alem, colaps, skiller, and other beatboxers who's passion is percussion would be more familiar and more impressed by odd timing. In contrast beatboxers who don't do inward bass variations wouldn't be the best judges of inertia either, because it's not what they're familiar with.

[@jonasgold4745]

@@asylumental I didn't mean to "educate" you, I just think that world class beatboxers can identifiy and appreciate odd time signatures even tho they have a different focus than percussive sounds like King Inertia, which made me think you might not be as familiar with the beatbox scene. Plus this is not a beatbox related channel and I assume you're a subscriber which enforced that thought. Sorry if I hurt your feelings.

[@BountyGeant]

27 minutes of you and a beatbox vid, you enlight my day sir. Keep up the great content. I'm in love with you kinda dissecting everything. Maybe i shouldn't compare, but ay you're the best in this.

[@DrumRollTonyReacts]

Thank you for the nice comment

[@jakez112]

Sick reaction! Knew you would like that crazy rhythmic part from helium, love your insights on beaboxing, keep em coming! Love from the UK!

[@AnimeAMVsp]

I love you sir who is a musician but understand the beatbox and his complexity

[@Dethonwheels18]

23:00 Inertia is using vibration bass, a sound with multiple layers which causes it to at times, sound off time or sloppy due to the nature of the sound. Inertia himself isn't always on time compared to Helium (I think this much is obvious with how different their drum sounds hit while performing).

[@theyonlycomeoutwhenitsquiet]

But honestly, he was really off during some of those points. Inertia’s internal metronome was winding down.

[@JustinRed624]

The nature of the sound isn't really the problem, sure it's hard to control but inertia's control over it is really good. It's just that in this moment his timing was off

[@xxxpyrosxxx]

The nature of the sound is not the problem, he was just off. A variant of his sound is enels "electric" base (feel my base-enel), and there you can see, it can be controlled to a ridiculous amount. This time inertia was just a tad off, it happens to the best..

[@Dethonwheels18]

@@xxxpyrosxxx Enel is using a different bass altogether, quite literally subharmonics. so the comparison doesn't work here

[@Dethonwheels18]

@@theyonlycomeoutwhenitsquiet as much as I love listening to inertia, this has been a consistent problem about him for a long time now

[@TalixZen]

When a judge crosses their arms it means a tie, calling for overtime. Which is funny because the judges were specifically asked not to call for overtime at this event because their simply wasn't enough time for extra rounds, but he just felt that strongly that they were even.

[@jetman2045.]

LET'S GOOOOO!

[@DrumRollTonyReacts]

LOL

[@albanokosovar9214]

LOVE your analysis man, so much knowlegde about it, even when beatbox is not your thing, you should see Zekka VS Napom GBB21 / Colaps vs Dlow GBB19 / Colaps vs Zekka GBB21 Those are some of the BEST musicality and crazy drum and beatbox paterns battles out there

[@absolute_vk300]

One of the most detailed reaction video on par with judge reaction videos ❤

[@onbeatz90]

This is so cool, I’ve been beatboxing for 10+ years and now I’m learning how to apreciate our own stuff through your videos

[@dobletroubleify]

This was a great reaction/breakdown and as someone who has beatboxed for 10+ years I appreciate that you're so respectful of how much skill these beatboxers have. And I enjoy the format where you allow a full playthrough of each round before you go through and analyze. Thanks

[@rori218]

this style is nice! also the moment where a guy (alexinho) walks in and gives helium a cap references to another battle: alexinho vs two h definitely recommend ittt (basically alexinho uses a "new" technic, that helium then uses in this battle)

[@yMkciN]

Dude, watch Helium's most popular videos please. I want to see your reaction to them. He's a very pure performer. He's a pro.

[@yMkciN]

And check Ya Na Ha wild card pls. Free your life

[@enmanuel1950]

12:00 We'd call that simply an inward bass variation. More specifically high pitch inward bass. He's changing the pitch of his inward bass and the shape of his mouth to create that descending and ascending effect.

[@xviroses]

I love how you pause and break everything down, favorite part of all your videos

[@tomasdinapoli1885]

Here we are again! Thanks for this video series. Its what i've been looking for!! More recommendations incoming: Colaps vs Zekka GBB 2021 Quarter Final River vs Hiss GBB2021 Dlow vs B-Art Kickback Battle Have fun, see you soon!

[@vekoLIG]

when a judge votes with arms crossed, it votes for an overtime round actually

[@felixschneider1398]

Absolutely love the long analysis

[@_swandy]

Also really wait reaction to Gbb2023 wildcard in crew category from YA NA HA!!! 😍

[@coryallen2863]

Really enjoyed your take! I personally liked helium in this battle but both were good. One of my favorite battles. Hope you do more beatbox reactions. Going to check out your other content brother,be easy.

[@lanthanien]

I just love the ability these guys have to move people.

[@ScribblyDoodle]

Those crazy high pitched robotic sounds from inertia is done by oscillating your epiglottis while inhaling (inward bass) and adding inward falsetto. I think there is some inward vocal fry mixed in with the falsetto as well for the fuzzy distortion texture.

[@CoyHere]

New here, loved this breakdown. Love when with music logic breakdown beatboxing from a outside view. Here to stay. P.s its been KNOWN for beatboxers being able to do 2 to 3 sounds at one time in different methods

[@daviddesalvo623]

I love the beatbox content man, and the bluecoats are cool too. Personally a cavies fan but yknow. Anyway, seriously hoping to see more vids like this. Perhaps we can get a reaction to JP's wildcard or something

[@DrumRollTonyReacts]

I watched cavies entire lot at semi finals this year. It was so clean.

[@daviddesalvo623]

Yea they just kindof popped off this year. Massive creds to the staff on that one, and the players ofc@@DrumRollTonyReacts

[@jerrbear26]

I just getting into beatbox the past couple years I like watching reactions from outside professional sources like yourself. You can really break down everything that is going on in a way that someone with new ears like myself can further understand beatboxing as a whole.

[@Hugo3578953]

Love the new format!

[@silverk4x960]

I love your beatbox reactions man. You should react to Zekka vs Napom GBB21 if you want a good battle, or Zekka vs D-Low Kickback Battle 2021. ❤

[@Blackfox_o7]

React to ("In the zone" - Trung Bao & Chiwawa Beatbox) and (Dispersion) they are full songs and not battles.

[@TheYors92]

Great vid. This way is better to hear out the song whole with the viewer to get the reaction of the song from you and then give your comments. The vid is maybe a little long but this kind of content is okay to be such lenght. Also the vid is better when you like the music lol. GL.

[@RizzayDJ]

And now I go back to the work keeping me up late...but I want more! Whatever your style of analysis, I am always educated and entertained by your reaction videos. I do like the format you use here for battle rounds as I think it gives each artist individualized and succinct review.

[@bolovanka]

You aren't nobody in the world, idk who you are, but I'm really like your reaction!!!!!🎉

[@ECaponera]

The surprise and contempt on the faces of people reacting to beatbox is why I love spreading this community's art! ❤️ Thank you for your reactions and attention to detail!

[@StayFr0sty]

contempt ?

[@_swandy]

Good idea for that format videos, Im really wait reaction to one of my favorite wildcard in 2023, crew category wildcard for gbb2023 Double team.

[@hunterjurgensmier9070]

Not a lot of people comment that these beatbox "sounds" by inertia are also very Dubstep esque. Both worlds of beatbox and dubstep intertwine by decade. Dubstep is very electric and alien sounding with production etc. This is replicated here. Dubstep was huge in the 2010s.

[@joshuatolodxi179]

If D-low hadn't changed his mind at the last second, it would have gone to a tie-breaker.

[@DominoraOfficial]

This format was pretty good, like it a lot. I'd like to suggest you look at loopstation battles too!

[@GeldMachenJung_]

Great Format, keep it up! :)

[@kel6884]

Please react to Dlow's SBX Kickback Compilation or Alton Sound Sketch.. incredible versatility and skill. 🤯

[@AdamRietzTV]

Yesss let’s gooo! Seen this 10 times already or probably 20 🤣 so good man

[@sliper0586]

Vocodah - inward bass god, headbangers🙏

[@emanuelferreira74]

Love this reactions man, for a person that barely watched beatbox you can understand a lot of what they are doing. Would love to see you react to Colaps. Colaps vs Inertia or Colaps vs Zekka are very good beatbox videos.

[@tjwang2326]

you mentioned before about being interested in seeing how in-sync beatboxers can be like a drum line, so i will suggest uniteam's gbb 2021 showcase... those two are about as in-sync as you can get

[@infeeq]

Zer0 GBB 2021 Elimination. He is one of the most rhythmical and technical beatboxer, you would love it!

[@prashantsihmar1314]

you must checkout king inertia's other performance like king inertia vs colaps king inertia solo 2021

[@SLEEPINGz2Z]

React to Alem vs King Inertia GBB 2021Quarter Final

[@IsraelLangley]

Great vid!

[@matiasmartinsen6973]

Prefer this way 🙌💯

[@bekzhankerimbay9432]

I like this style of your video👍

[@buttersstotch5214]

Holy shit a real reaction channel. I was wondering when you guys would come out. Seems like fake reactions rule on this platform.

[@DrumRollTonyReacts]

Lol yea there are a lot of folks saying words into a 📷 that....are empty. Avoid those channels 🤟👀😅

[@robertwilliam5527]

Helium was 🔥🔥🔥

[@liangming4837]

I love it this way

[@trolhohol]

Uniteam vs Kocha bless!

[@Blana24]

Check D-low SBX kickbattle winner compilation .. is the best Beatbox video i ever heard 😵‍💫

[@galihrayana4127]

I think you should check colaps.. cuz he more complex than helium

[@ScribblyDoodle]

The X is calling it a draw, so it counts almost as a vote towards both

[@mickaelrolland8343]

Please look mb14 showcase 2018 it is very amazing performance beatbox

[@FBI-oo2hy]

More pls!!!

[@Gündisalvus_falkó]

I wasnt there, but I heard inertia sounded monsterrr, very loud

[@samferreira5651]

Bro, Ellisi had very complex beats. A video about his beats would had a loot of comments lol

[@parkerharrison3024]

BRO YOU PAUSED IT ON THE GREATEST COME BACKKKKKK!!!!!! WHYYYYYY

[@DrumRollTonyReacts]

I definitely rewound

[@Flesydok_]

I am a big fan of this style better!

[@fuzzydark1395]

Petition for you to check out "Hiss, Alexinho, Colaps, River' - If only (Official Video)". From there on, to this date, everything sounds worse than that piece of art imo (jk). I really think it will make you look at beatboxing from a whole different pov.

[@cjputasso]

drum n bass vs trap

[@world4saker]

i am for sure these people swallow whatever they need to make the sound need a drill sound eat a drill need some monster base eat a base making machine need bird sound eat birds etc...

[@mitaskeledzija6269]

Second round Inertia kinda rushed the second drop idk if it was intimidated or not prepared but he spammed lot of inward bass. Don't get me wrong he is my inspiration and met him but it is unusual for him to rush it.

[@mitaskeledzija6269]

Also Helium slipped up in the response with his 2nd round.

[@pinky797]

well, king inertia has some crazy sound quality. But u have to admit some parts from him are cringe. some fan boys praise him to another new level of cringeness.

[@Matvei_Prihod]

Helium win.

[@tassiocarvalhos]

Não seria um react e sim uma analise né ?

[@PROyaegerist]

I’m late

[@aaalexccc]

Everyone from this competition hates the best in the world and his name is Remix. Why don't you react to him?

[@DrumRollTonyReacts]

That's some interesting phrasing

[@henrikbaum]

No one from this competition hates remix wtf

[@oxygencat6383]

who the hell hates remix??? 😭

[@aaalexccc]

To rank him 28 is kind of a hate, Isn't it?

[@BVBsniper]

​​@@DrumRollTonyReactsStrange phrasing indeed but Remix is actually mindblowing

KEEP IT UP!!! I've told you this, but it's always soooooo enjoyable listening to your opinion about all these beatbox videos because you are experienced about drumming, and you know perfectly what you are talking about. I learn a lot from your reactions and you also help hugely the beatbox community, so thank you so much!!! Greetings from Argentina

[@tautvydassatas]

Finally someone called out those FAKE FAKE reactions!! :D loved it.. great analysis as always man ! Would love to see more Beatbox content from you , as there is soooo much crazy rhythmic craziness to see.... ! Subscribed!

[@dominicbreen5969]

What fake reactions? Oh you mean the big eyed guy? That’s just bbk that’s always his reactions. Lmao

[@NahNoWayy]

Love the longer videos, because it allows you to more fully break down what's happening musically. Hadn't seen this prior to your video, and it was shockingly impressive to witness. Definitely going to have to check out more from both of these guys.

[@ilesalmo7724]

I may be mistaken, but as I understand what you were asking at 22:15 how King Inertia is doing it: The 16th notes are done with the tongue which is just a quick nananananana. Kick and snare are done with the lips. The kick is a basic B-kick which even you can probably do. Snare sounds like a quick spit-snare where he presses his lips together hard and pushes air from the mouth outwards. The bass-sound is done with your false-vocal chords. Could be inwards-bass since that's his specialty, but to me it sounds an outward breath throat-growl (not sure what the name is)

[@enmanuel1950]

You got it right. Although the bass he's doing in that segment is called vibration bass ( outwards as you said) and has two tones. The deep tone is called the root, but I don't remember what the high pitch tone is called.

[@ilesalmo7724]

@@enmanuel1950 neither of us knows the name of the high pitch, but to me it seems that he is doing it by adding hìs normal folds to make a falsetto

[@enmanuel1950]

@@ilesalmo7724 Well technically I did said the name already because the root tone + the hight pitch tone is a single technique called vibration bass. I was just trying to break it down further. Although In the beatbox scene we don't give names to the 2 pitches that make up vibration bass. I think that was something I learned (but don't fully remember) from mongolian/bass singing theory.

[@samtricks1966]

King inertia used Inward bass on the first round and Vibration bass on the second. He has such good quality though.

[@jabbawookeez01]

litterly GBB has so many videos that are good

[@Antolnerl]

I swear, knowing that your into rythmics and drums, you should watch more about Alexinho, he has the best drums patterns ever imo, I think you would love his kickback judge showcaseof 2019.

[@delusion-1375]

The thing Helium did that you mentioned is indeed to hear yourself better

[@eltiomabugoy3674]

thank you very much for bringing a new beatbox video!! As for the format, do it however you feel most comfortable, at the end of the day you also have to enjoy it and either way it would be fine! I recommend the following battles of this same competition. Colaps vs Zekka (technically it is the best for me) Colaps vs KIng Inertia I also recommend a Tag team elimination at an absurd technical level Middle school elimination (gbb 2021) huskey elimination (gbb 2021) Solo elimination: Gene shinozaki elimination gbb 2021 Greetings from Argentina!!

[@j.p.8811]

@@DrumRollTonyReacts Hey love the videos man it's cool hearing a rhythm experts take on beatboxing, I'm not a beatboxer but I've been into the culture for a while. I've got a recommendation for a reaction video I think would be cool to see your input, "Triplet Trio | Oxymoron ( Live )" from SkilleR. He's a Bulgarian beatboxer and in the video he's performing as the vocal percussionist for a bass player and guitarist. When I first heard it I was impressed with how tight he was with the bass player but I'm a lowly guitar player we all know guitarists have no sense of rhythm! Love to see your reaction to it but anyway keep up the good work!

[@amtps3]

Gotta watch the Dlow judge intro or whatever they called it for this competition where he just does a history of his music.

[@jonasgold4745]

You actually got it right, he needs full focus to get these fast patterns right thats why you see him pressing his finger against his ear, suppressing the crowd noises.

I personally like this way much more, where you whatch a whole piece first and then analyse it afterwards.
