[@heidifruchtl354]

I think you forgot that Kevin, their beatboxer, eats an entire drum set for breakfast daily.

[@Karen-Campos]

“That sounds like a straight up kick drum!” Yep and his name is KEVIN! The mashup of songs and the tight harmonies.. can only be PTX!

[@AdmiralKnight]

The microphone helps a lot as well, you wouldn't get that same impact from him doing it live, but the point still stands

[@Jaybo1962]

AdmiralKnight, have you seen them live?

[@hstppt]

Admiral knight, it's true that they have sound engineering in their videos, but you should watch some live videos before making that claim.

[@samanthagerbrandt7543]

Sounds pretty much the same live.

[@ClaireBarn]

@@Jaybo1962 that's exactly the comment I was gonna make! Incredible beat boxing live. They Mike his foot & chest

[@dramac333]

Take a look at how fast Kevin's mouth is moving. That is the beatbox, but also the drums. He is flat out fantastic.

[@ms_scribbles]

Yes, there is a way to sound like that. It's called "being Kevin". 😉 Dude's talent is just inhuman.

[@ms_scribbles]

Oh, and bass dude is Avi. He was there until about 2017 when he felt he had to step away from the group because the travel schedule was just killing him, and he didn't want to be away from his family so much anymore. (It also didn't help that his mother was dying of cancer.) So in newer videos you'll see another bass guy, and that's Matt. He's really good, too, though I miss Avi. Something about his voice is just so resonant and whenever he sings, you can just feel it in your chest. Avi's got some solo work out there, though! Check out "Change on the Rise". Powerful stuff.

[@JoSedunary]

It's all acapella - Avi does some of the sound effects to support Kevin (Beatboxer) - the contacts - Kevin wears glasses and couldn't wear them hence the visor. Avi's eyes were so red by the end they actually looked sore. Avi can actually hold a bassline whilst making the wind noises....he can also do overtones (2 notes at once)

[@Bonofox1]

ALL ACAPELLA!! They do this LIVE on tour!! This arrangement won them their first Grammy!!👍👍

[@aimeemarie5462]

I just saw a video of them recorded from a cell phone in some random room singing it for a small group of people. They sound exactly the same. Its WILD.

[@Jsman525]

If you liked that you'll love 'love again' its an original.

[@kristagerry8505]

Definitely! It's soooooo mindblowingly good! A cross between steampunk or Cyberpunk/cyber goth!

[@louellamoyer5578]

Absolutely!

[@therese369]

Yaas! I just looove ’love again’ its so good and i dont know why it never got the attention it deserves

[@sonamadinolf6096]

If you like the bass, Avi has done his own stuff solo since he left. I recommend Change on the Rise. If you were super impressed with the beat boxer, check out Kevin Olusola covering "Down" by Marion Hill.

[@Lookinforrealmusic]

Change on the Rise , if you think this blew your mind. Avis work is mostly a more mellow folk, which I love, but COTR is in a genre all its own

[@cathyboyce9617]

I totally agree with Alma! Avi's Change on the Rise is uniquely amazing!

[@sonamadinolf6096]

@Linda M. I believe it was a combination of the hectic touring schedule wearing him down after a while, as well as his mother getting sick. I wasn't familiar with the group at the time, so that's just what I've picked up in passing.

[@perrystevenson6364]

you gotta react to bohemian rhapsody...quite simply the finest cover to that classic rock song...and all acapella.

[@irisstar86]

Listened to them live twice and I can tell you that kick drum sound is very human-made. They are phenomenal.

[@mkmerth]

If they’re using an instrument they will show it in the video so otherwise just know it’s acapella. Bohemian Rhapsody would be a great one!

[@pattimills9285]

It's a medley guys, a mash up of three or four Daft Punk songs. If you have an issue with their beatboxing instrumentation you must watch Bohemian Rhapsody next because Mitch is the electric guitar in that one, not even kidding. So much fun. You guys are super fun to watch.

[@tamarasmith9060]

Actually I think it's 6 songs...

[@Trapper50cal]

Yes, Kevin is one of the most talented Beat-Boxers in the world, period. But also keep in mind, it's how they RECORD what he's doing. If you seek to get mostly low end or mostly high-end, mid-range...that's what's going to happen. Same goes for accentuating what Avi (or Matt) does.

[@mikegoodwin2386]

Kevin is "the human 808."

[@MelaniePoparad]

Sing!

[@RosheenQuynh]

I was contemplating on saying this, glad someone beat me to it!

[@axepagode33626]

Though they are an a capella group, they have some songs when Kevin plays the cello. They have also collaborated with violinist Lindsay Sterling. You really should check out the Kirstin led "Say Something". She does an amazing job.

[@schuhschrank947]

Lindsey Stirling

[@bridgethaines7127]

PLays cello WHILE beatboxing. Which is a thing that should require two brains. He is amazing when he celloboxes.

[@donny1960]

They won the Grammy in the A Capella category. It's ALL A Capella.

[@IMVADER2]

That blue get-up on her always gets me going. Definitely developed a taste for a cyber/neo/techno-punk style after seeing that makeup & and hair

[@dicodec]

Interesting 🤔

[@sophiehalverson8092]

One of my favorite covers from Pentatonix is “Come Along” or their originals such as “Sing” or “Can’t Sleep Love”

[@grazynawikert-unger2122]

They won the first of three Grammy Awards for this.

[@wiredjeweler211]

You should check out Can't Hold Us (cover) and Love Again (an original)

[@blackkatt777]

You guys should react to their original first single "Love Again ". It's very Edm. You won't believe how amazing it sounds And the concept is pretty much still space aliens. Kevin's bass drop makes me go nuts and go hard, each time. So freakin' good.

[@Stevesrssrssrs]

The bass is Avi Kaplan and he has his own channel here on KZbin you should really check out as well!!! He is amazing!! Actually, every member of Pentatonix has their own solo channels on KZbin where they do work on the side of Pentatonix. They're all pretty good.

[@dinounit67]

Welcome to the aca-swamp! This would be the appropriate time to introduce you fellas to the ”big 3” of modern acapella! Of course, you just witnessed Pentatonix, but now you’ll have to check out both Home Free and Voiceplay! Home Free is a country acapella band and I would strongly recommend you to check out their cover of Ring of Fire (feat. Avi Kaplan, the basist of Pentatonix). Voiceplay is more of a mixed type of acapella band but they also have an amazing basist in Geoff Castelucci. I would suggest you either check out their version of the ”Oogie boogie song” from A Nightmare Before Christmas and/or their Queen medley! Great reaction, have a nice day!

[@MrDavePed]

Here are my favorites by Pentatonix: Carol of the Bells (Christmas) (14 November 2012) Daft Punk Medley (4 November 2013 Grammy winner) Mary, Did You Know? (Christmas) (11 November 2014) Hallelujah (Christmas) (21 October 2016) Bohemian Rhapsody (7 April 2017) Matt replaces Avi as bass (22 June 2017) Havana (23 February 2018) The Sound of Silence (15 February 2019) Can you feel the love tonight? (23 August 2019) Blinding Lights (1 July 2020) Dreams (22 July 2020) TYTY ..

[@jessicajones641]

Lol yep, Kevin is a drum machine 🥁

[@im2yz4u17]

This is a medley of Daft Punk songs. There is no Pharrell Williams in this.

[@jdf17]

While this is a Daft Punk medley and Get Lucky is a Daft Punk song, Pharrell Williams is featured in the song and does the vocals.

[@blackkatt777]

@@jdf17 He also wrote it as a collaboration with them. The Neptunes are a hot ticket production duo. Lots of people work with them.

[@jdf17]

@@blackkatt777 absolutely right and they’ve been around for quite some time.

[@AdmiralKnight]

Oh man, how far Game of Thrones has fallen. 'That show' lmao

[@LeskeyC001]

Great reaction. Thanks for posting. More PTX?

[@secretarts]

The cover is called Daft Punk MEDLEY. Several Daft Punk songs mixed together. But the whole group is total eargasm.

[@j.w.darkhurst3925]

"They look like those people from that show" ... Do you have any idea how little that narrows it down? 😂 At this point I think I'm addicted to watching people react to PTX; it's just so much fun lol

[@avionterria7855]

Daft Punk is an EDM electronic dance music group. This is a medley of 7 of their hits...a mashup. There's an off-mic performance of this for Make a Wish foundation.

[@dicodec]

Thank you for the information!

[@ladrac198]

This is ALL them! If you ever have doubts look up live performances and it sounds pretty much exactly the same, minus a little bit of cleanup on the studio version of course. They've made a rule that they will never release a song that they can't perform live.

[@pattiemartin9253]

Sound of silence and hallelujah and amazing grace

[@thontor]

How have you not reacted to Pentatonix doing Bohemian Rhapsody yet?

[@wvhollargirl7549]

Dope! GRAMMY!!!!!!!!

[@ptxlover6878]

What a joy to watch your reaction! ❤

[@tonia.5861]

For all those who think they auto tune, go watch the video Nick Riddel posted on his channel. It’s Pentatonix doing Daft Punk just standing in a living room.....no studio, no mic. Amazing!

[@davidbangtson3109]

Did you guys get a new camera? The resolution on this fabulous PTX performance is super sharp and clear - literally, the best I've ever seen. Also, there is a studio version of this song that amazes to show how they really can do all this as a single unit and unified performance in a way that this can not show, due to its innovative approach. Perfect in every way.

[@dicodec]

We used the donations to get better lighting! We are always trying to improve the content for you all!

[@andresalvarado2491]

I love Pentatonix! I absolutely loved this video!

[@Langley_Ackerman19]

Subbed cause you guys were feeling it! 😁

[@r.d.stratford106]

I’m probably showing my age here, but - and I mean this 100% as a compliment- you guys remind me so much of young Tenacious D. Just the musical knowledge and sense of humor goes so well. Loving it!

[@dicodec]

We'll take it haha. We love us some Tenacious D

[@SeniorBaybee03]

Lol, Kevin is pretty hard to believe! He’s INSANELY talented as a beatboxer (among a LOT of other things). To get the full appreciation of him and all of them is to watch one of their live videos. They do Evolutions where they mash up a bunch of songs by a specific artist and they are done live in one take. My personal favorite is the Evolution of Ariana Grande, but they’ve done Evolutions or Michael Jackson, Rihanna, N’SYNC and an Evolution of Music in general. They’re all worth a reaction and are truly inspiring to watch because they are LIVE.

[@dicodec]

Oh wow, we gotta check those out for sure

[@courtannptx]

Loved it!

[@emilyk2424]

😂 I am just having a good time jamming along with you guys! Keep it up.

[@dicodec]

Thanks so much fam!

[@jimsterrett8214]

Thanks!

[@suebennett4121]

That kick is Kevin!

[@edsartistry]

You MUST check out "Bohemian Rhapsody" Prepare to be BLOWN AWAY

[@dicodec]

Reacted to that one a few days ago. It was epic! Should be up on youtube soon!

[@adventureswithjonny87]

ive watched ten of these pentatonix videos in a row and everyone says the kick drum is fake lol.

[@vidsorama2]

Nice reaction. Thanks. They are amazing. This is a medley of different Daft Punk songs.

[@babyfry4775]

So much fun! You were trying to say Whitewalkers from Game of Thrones. Try other PTX songs and Home Free another a cappella band. They’re both so good.

[@IroAppe]

As always, the trick is the power of microphones. Put a good microphone directly on the beatboxer's body, so it can record the full resonance, that's how these sounds are possible. If you record from the distance, it wouldn't sound like that, still great I'm sure, but a lot of the resonance you are getting is the fact, that the microphone is directly on the body. Still, it's only their voices, so that's cool.

[@naominagler7290]

You guys should check out their journey on the sing off. It shows just how talented they were back when they started.

[@mitchcordray]

First public comment? Damn never had that before. Love the reactions. Ptx rocks. Especially loved your Maximum the Hormone reactions. If you guys are going back to Jrock or J metal May I suggest Hysteric Panic and SIM. Both awesome bands and Hysteric Panic is especially crazy.

[@marablemorgan8292]

They do nothing but vocals!

[@dicodec]

YUP! and it was amazing

[@catherineharger8069]

They perform it live. Listen to Kevin (the beatboxer) live. It is him.

[@dicodec]

We don't doubt it anymore haha

[@robinwalker9471]

Not sure how you feel about Country music, but there's another a cappella group that you might like - Home Free! Avi, the Bass in this video, sings with them in their Ring of Fire video :)

[@katieoberst490]

There's a live version of this, it sounds basically the same, it's incredible!! You guys should check it out and react to it!!

[@dicodec]

Perhaps we will!

[@taisvv1284]

You should watch it live, it's amazing

[@pappagi]

❤️

[@joannegraybeal8323]

Avi Kaplan does the low voice that sounds so sweet

[@dicodec]

That's why we love him ❤

[@Motivatedk9]

No kick...it's Kevin.. LOL

[@Korbin_Arts]

Not only did they win a grammy for this, but it was filmed on a 400 dollar budget in Avi's kitchen and closet

[@dicodec]

Oh wow, that is awesome!!

[@sandicave9637]

All voice!

[@pattiemartin9253]

Shallow, Can’t Hold us

[@dicodec]

We're game

[@jimmycarroll233]

you need to listen to Diana Ankudinova a russion singer who is a dramatic contralto .Wicked games and rachenka ,she is 14/15 at the time

[@dicodec]

We will add her to the list ✌

[@bloodsweatphilp4310]

I believe it's a medley, rather then 'their own version of the song', it's their version of a bunch of daft punk songs.

[@Zera1917]

Yall should check out Den, Moments We Had, to understand what beatboxers are capable of :D

[@johnelvisclark451]

They did this video and a closet in Kevin and Avi's apt for $400 and won a Grammy for it

[@dicodec]

That's so wild! Just how good they are

[@sherrismith8337]

If you like mashups, a cappella and bass, check out Home Free's "Butts Medley" and VoicePlay's "Twenty One Pilots".

[@user-fo5uo1jt1o]

ペンタトニックスだ！😍 I highly recommend you watch Bohemian rhapsody covered by pentatonix 🇯🇵

[@tamarasmith9060]

Someone commented on how you wrongly called it a song instead of a medley. Technically they're right but don't worry about it. It's not a big deal, I don't get why they're picking at that one misspoken word. 🙄 Most Pentaholics call it the "Daft Punk Medley" when mentioning/recommending it like "medley" is in the official name, but it isn't. Scott calls it that in the outro, but is stating a description, not a title. He says "our Daft Punk medley" instead of "our Daft Punk song". PTX probably could've put it in the title but instead just titled it "Daft Punk" after the band, feeling it wasn't necessary to use the term. After all, when they do a mashup of just 2 songs, they don't put mashup in the title, so if it's 3 or more songs why should they have to put medley in the title? It just makes the title longer for no reason.

[@joshi_new_wave3283]

Request, Dicodec A cappella rendition of an MTH song! Hurry and do it already!

[@Geeves28]

It's all voices but they EQ the kick and bass to smooth it out in post a lot, which is part of what you hear

[@mariondiemert430]

KL is amazing!

[@rachelhurst3224]

Great reaction! If you want to hear some clean kick drum and double footed bass by another beatboxer, you should check out Adam Rupp's "drum" solo. Rupp is the beatboxer for Home Free. Since it igs almost Christmas, you should check out there awesome arrangemet of "Do You Hear What I Hear." You'll love the bass (especially Tim Foust's multiple octave run from high tenor to super bass), Adam Rupp's amazing beatboxing, and Austin Brown's "guitair" and high tenor descants. It's the only arrangement of the doing I've ever heard that is upbeat.

[@thelifedorado]

Yup no backing track!!!! They sound like this live!!

[@davidpuerto1619]

You guys should check out their evolution of _____ videos. They perform them in a single take and really showcase how versatile they are with their vocals.

[@saceurai6629]

Hope they react to Beatboxers to enjoy the "kicks" :3

[@johanmaxen6698]

DIR EN GREY - Macabre Live Tabula Rasa 2013

[@julierussell8876]

not sure if you actually caught on that it was a Daft Punk Medley, a mash up of songs. :-) Your reactions were so funny.

[@gingerjohnson1095]

If you like Daft Punk, listen to Love Again, which was released the same year but is written by Avi Kaplan and Kevin Olusola (bass and beatbox). And all reacters should be required to react to Imagine.

[@dicodec]

Great reaction! As always. More Pentatonix please! “Can’t Hold Us” by PTX would be my next suggestion but I’ll watch anything y’all make lol. Also idk if y’all care or not but I’m pretty sure your videos will be easier to monetize if you don’t say fuck or shit in the first 5min 🤣 just tryna help out 🤘KZbin sucks
