Professional Drummer Reacts to Home Free: Drum Solo ( Reaction )

[@MatthewvMayo]

Home Free is in my humble opinion the greatest acapella group of all time. But that might just be because they routinely blow my mind and I love it.

[@pamelagoodman7559]

And that was 6 years ago. He’s the consummate beat boxer now. Recognized world wide

[@biancallemos]

Reactions when people have no idea what they're going to watch are the best!

[@DrummingwithJarvis]

😊😊😊😊😊😊 Yes!!!

[@billsanderson1442]

Adam is a superb percussionist and in many of the Home Free songs you don't really notice him until you go "Wait a minute, that's not a drum kit." Some of his better work is in "Ring of Fire", "Man of Constant Sorrow", and the "Butts Medley".

[@jadeswrapsandbraids]

He's a real drummer. Started drumming before beat boxing. He's in the top 3 in the world for beatboxing, and yes acapella

[@susanmcavoy9213]

They are a country acapella group but they do cover many genres. You might want to hear their version of "End of the Road".

[@genegillis2068]

They are pure a capella

[@aprilthousand3914]

Yeah, the are called Home Free, and that is their music guy for the most part. His name is Adam Rudd. Their whole group are amazing. I hope you get to hear some of their music and see what else he can do.

[@marlenekloth4734]

This is Home Free and that is awesome Freak of Nature Adam Rupp please check out more Man of Constant Sorrow is a good place to start and then you can hear Adam do the harmonica without the harmonica

[@miamidolphinsfan]

I 2nd this !!

[@LeandraSilvio]

3rd here!! New sub, hope for more Home Free!

[@DrummingwithJarvis]

YEs!!! Appreciate that more to come for sure

[@allisonp7041]

Yeah, I just watched Workin' for a Living and his harmonica was amazing.

[@jackiestone3468]

Adam plays trumpet, bass, drums and keyboard! He is awesome! Love your reaction😊

[@kristipenwell8611]

I believe Adam is a two time National champion beatboxer, but properly called a vocal percussionist. He is crazy good, as is the entire group "Home Free". They are an a capella group..or vocal band..and every sound you hear in their music is made by their vocals. It's pretty amazing because when you listen to them,its easy to forget that there are no instruments. You wont regret checking them out. They primarily do country but do several genres, doing covers as well as original music. The best ones to start with are their covers of "Man of Constant Sorrow", Boys II Men "End of the Road, "The Butts Remix, "When a Man Loves a Woman",and "Ring of Fire".But honestly, you cant go wrong with any of their songs. Look forward to seeing your reaction to them. Subscribing NOW.

[@pop-sd8cq]

When asked Adam said he was a beatboxer bc he does a lot more than vocal percussion and he would know 😎

[@kristipenwell8611]

@@pop-sd8cq well, there you go. I was only trying to be respectful of his talent to the best of my understanding.

[@MsSigurd3]

Ja han har vært champion 2 ganger.....

[@Qmocean]

Pretty sure he won 2 World Campionships.

[@MsSigurd3]

Ja han har vunnet 2 WCCHIP i beatboxing.

[@lindafuller4542]

Home Free! They are so talented

[@DrummingwithJarvis]

Yesssss!

[@cozenw3236]

As everyone said below, he’s from the a capella group Home Free. He’s one of the original founders of this group. Adam Rupp and his brother Chris started this group until Chris left to peruse his own solo career. Adam’s talent is so good that most of the time you don’t realize that what you’re hearing is all being done by Adam… see the Butt Medley. His talents include sounding like a harmonica… see Man of Constant Sorrow and wooden castanets in the recently released Sea Shanty Medley video. If you do decide to take a peak into this group, Tim Foust, their bass, can reach the low note G1 (or A sharp to some), not found on the average keyboard. Austin, lead high tenor, can get those high notes while Rob… who reminds me of Bobby Singer from the t.v. show Supernatural, is their low tenor. And lastly, Chance, the replacement for retired member Chris Rupp, is a baritone/bass that nicely rounds off the group. But what really makes this group so special is their individual talent that they showcase each. No one member steals the front spot light. They are very talents, Austin wrote a Christmas song (something so very needed) that’s a comedy… see Cold Hard Cash. But what’s the most obvious thing is that they can hit those emotional song and still convey just how fun they seem to be doing these song… again see the Butt Medley. Their fans call themselves Home Fries.

[@janeames1513]

and to add to your comment Adam got started b/c Chris asked him to try it out and then he persued it like no other and here he is..getting better with age and years of honing his craft

[@donnasergio3517]

home free is the group

[@theunknownfangirl]

One of my current favorite Adam things is the castanets in the Sea Shanty Medley. He's made of magic ... like a unicorn.

[@primalmojo9599]

You think he was good here, this was YEARS ago. He's honed his talents even more throughout the years, and he does amazing vocal percussion. Listen to Home Free (the acapella group he and his brother started), for a great intro and some amazing vocal and drumming acrobatics, start with Man of Constant Sorrow, and Sea Shanty Medley. Pay special attention to what he's doing, you'll be floored!

[@celiciak8110]

That's what I was going to say!

[@carolynedison5564]

The Drummer is with the group "HOME FREE"

[@DrummingwithJarvis]

oh yesss! Been reacting to them since Hopefully you check It out soon 😊😊😊😊

[@babyfry4775]

Home Free is an amazing ‘a cappella’ group. They won the NBC show the Sing Off in 2013 the year after Pentatonix won (another amazing ‘a cappella’ group). They sing a lot of covers but also write and sing their own stuff. Try End of the Road to hear their great harmonies. Adam Rupp is their beatboxer and he’s tremendous. Love your reaction!

[@DrummingwithJarvis]

yoooo! Thanks for that appreciate that info. They're great and thanks for the support!

[@terrichristenson432]

This was back in 2015 I think, he has added many new sounds and is even better now. I dont know if there are any newer videos of just his solos out there, if there are if would be worth a listen !!!!! I have seen him live from the first row and he is Amazing !!!!! Yes, please check out the group Home Free, they are now my all time favorite !!

[@terrywronka1455]

My favorite too.

[@cindynielson4231]

He also plays harmonica with just mouth and hands. You should check out Home Free "Man Of Constant Sorrow". This from the movie "Oh Brother Where Art Thou". It is amazing!

[@jonaatsen]

check out their Sea Shanty Medley, he does castanets!!!

[@DrummingwithJarvis]

Will do!

[@annebiebrich9155]

Yep...acapella! They are amazing!

[@sherryparis5647]

Home Free the group

[@DrummingwithJarvis]

So good!

[@charlesbennett5036]

The group home free covers a song called man of constant sorrow and this guy's part of the group. There are 2 beatboxers and one does a harmonica and both do a mouth organ.

[@tracilmoser1677]

Adam Rupp is a beatbox beast.

[@DrummingwithJarvis]

YESS!

[@sandyblack2687]

I am a fan, too!! Very proud to be a Home Fry!!

[@DrummingwithJarvis]

SAME!!!!

[@staceysmith8173]

They just released Brothers in Arms yesterday (friday) can't wait to see your reaction to it. You will LOVE it and be blown away 🙂🙂

[@thornblackwell5749]

Adam's Drum Solo was a response to all the people that didn't believe he did it with his mouth. Many of the other members can do small tricks to fill while Adam holds the base percussion for the group. If you watch some of their live performances you can catch them filling in, and on rare occasions they do some minor looping.

[@brettmajeske3525]

Home Free has a huge catalog of wonderful music. Anything buy them would be great. For more of Adam's awesomeness try: Cold Hard Cash or Catch Me If You Can. Brett's wife

[@CaptainCurtReacts]

I love home free!! I got tons of stuff from them up on my channel. Every new video I watch blows my mind even more then the last. Also some very cool drumming video's. I subbed to your channel keep the home free coming!! #homefrys 🍟 ❤️

[@EarlJohn61]

I understand that the other members of Home Free worry, every time that Adam has an unanticipated bowel movement... They're scared that the drum set he swallowed whole when he was 5 years old has decided that it is time to leave! 🤠🤠🤠🤠🤠🤠🤠🤠

[@lrfcowper]

Home Free is infamous from their Sing Off days as not being great dancers, but Adam and their bass Tim are exceptions to that. Some of the more recent "drum solo" videos of Adam include a segment where he does the beginning of Michael Jackson's Billie Jean, with dance moves, including the moonwalk... in cowboy boots, no less. He's just phenomenally talented and phenomenally silly as well. A couple songs that haven't been mentioned here where his beatboxing is pretty mind-blowing are "American Pie feat. Don McLean" and "God Bless the USA feat. Lee Greenwood and the USAF Band". In the first he nearly passed out in the studio because the song is so freaking long, but his beatboxing and then his tenor singing in the 6-part harmony at the end are outstanding. In the latter, his military snare drum and fighter jet flyover sound at the end are amazing. You'll see some people saying he's a national or international champion. Don't know where that started, because Adam Rupp has never had time to compete beyond the local level. Home Free is on the road or recording 250+ days a year, and when they're not touring, Adam has a wife and two kids who are his priority. He probably could win titles nationally, but his focus is on the group and making sure their songs have the best percussion possible to bring out the meaning and emotion of the song. Sometimes that means he's just in the background doing his thing, letting the vocalists shine.

[@cindyknudson2715]

Excellent comment 👍

[@cheridampier2524]

All that percussion, sound effects and a beautiful tenor voice as well. His military cadence in their latest video Travelin Soldier is just great!

[@DrummingwithJarvis]

yesss!!! So talented 🙌🏽🙌🏽

[@roberthudson1959]

Rupp is tremendously talented, but he is also extremely experienced. He co-founded HF in 2000, so he has been honing his skills for over 20 years. It can't hurt that he has a degree in trumpet performance as well.

[@vickiroman189]

I have had the pleasure of seeing Home Free 5 times in concert, and Adam never fails to bring down the house with this.

[@DrummingwithJarvis]

That's amazing! Im sure it was incredible!

[@sandychisholm1297]

Adam has won two world championships Thats my Beatboxer who’s yours ?

[@DrummingwithJarvis]

Thats amazing!!!! I'll def check more of him and Home Free out!

[@tarjaikola]

@@DrummingwithJarvis Adam has never competed internationally, only locally more than a decade ago. He has said that he is not interested in competitions, but more appreciates musicianship of beatboxers like Beardyman and Reeps1.

[@donaldmonarch1339]

The band is called Home Free. And the first video you watch should be, the butts remix!!!

[@caitlinseaton7546]

Definitely check out the group he is in, called Home Free! I recommend “Love Train” or “Country Fried Pop Medley “!

[@DrummingwithJarvis]

so sick! I'll check it out soon!

[@ad9aggie]

Butts Remix

[@maryloufarnsworth8461]

I have seen this group twice in concert. Even had front row seats for one of them. These guys are great. Not only is the singing superb, but their stage presence is awesome. Jarvis, check out their KZbin videos from 2013 when they won "The Sing-off."

[@StevesTubes]

Home Free's "End of the Road" is one of their best. Also check out "When a Man Loves a Woman", "Folsom Prison Blues", "Blue Ain't Your Color", and "Man of Constant Sorrow".

[@lisamarshall1769]

Adam Rupp is a beast!! So much talent in Home Free - check them out!

[@reneroberson2784]

Hold on to your seat Mr Adam Rupp is about to blow your mind.. This man and his talent is completely just breathtaking.. I mean that literally his Breath control is just out of this world.. love you Adam Rupp

[@shirleyfisher8313]

Breathtaking... But when does he breathe!?!?

[@rowan7474]

You can’t go wrong with Home Free! I recommend the Butts Remix, Country Fried Pop Medley, and Elvira!

[@DrummingwithJarvis]

😊😊😊😊 Yes! They're great!

[@Indigo_moon]

This a pretty old video, he's actually improved since then but there aren't many videos out there of decent quality. Plus they haven't been able to tour for a while because of CV. Anyway, it would be nice to see an updated video of him from their new tour this year. Thx for the video!

[@DrummingwithJarvis]

yes hopefully they keep dropping more vids 😊😊😊😊😊

[@dogtrainerjen]

Home Fries (HF fans) will flock to you once they find you're doing Home Free! Hope you do lots more! "End of the Road," "Hillbilly Bone," and any of their medleys are fantastic! Let's see if you're willing to jump into the Home Free rabbit hole! 🤞🤞😃

[@DrummingwithJarvis]

yesss!!!!!!! They're great thanks for the comment appreciate the support 😊😊😊😊

[@Starchild42]

Adam and Kevin are both awesome!!!!

[@TheDivayenta]

You are the only reactor to guess the didgeridoo sound I’ve seen!

[@chrismorin1318]

I'm sure others have mentioned it, but this is an older performance. I know there are some newer ones out there and he's only gotten better. A fun video to watch to hear how he's always adding to his repertoire is Home Free's Sea Shanty Medley! You'll have a great time if you dive down the Home Free rabbit hole. It's deep and diverse, with something for everyone. They may be known as country a capella, but these guys cover everything!

[@terrywronka1455]

I dove down that rabbit hole about 5 weeks ago and can't get back out, nor do I want to get back out. I absolutely love them.

[@louisetemples7011]

This was like 6-7 years ago! He has improved and is even much better! Try out a more recent one like 2018 & up! Thank you

[@dorothygarner9375]

You definitely need to check out some more Home Free - they are awesome, and Adam is a huge part of this. And he keeps getting better - this video is from 6 years ago. I'd suggest checking out Hillbilly Bone, Man of Constant Sorrow, and End of the Road. Great reaction!

Check out Adams newest beat box session he did last month (March) in Florida

[@randallshuck2976]

Adam does a great job on every song they do. One you would enjoy the the Home Free cover of "Man of Constant Sorrow" or their cover of "Ring of Fire" featuring Avi Kaplan formerly of Pentatonix (another A Capella group with a solid beatboxer).

Hes awsome

[@cherrybaldwin7627]

Home free

[@DrummingwithJarvis]

🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽

[@secundus1927]

Like everyone has said home free is definitely worth checking out for some great a cappella. Another artist I highly suggest is petter hollens if find your into that kinda thing. You won’t get anything quite like adam’s beatboxing but he is extremely talented in turn music with instrumental backing to a cappella. You actually probably see him doing some stuff with home free if watch enough of their stuff.

[@walker1812]

You need to watch Rowan Atkinson's air drum mime from Rowan Atkinson Live

[@seizod]

I bet Adam was the funniest kid in class

[@DrummingwithJarvis]

HAHAH

Listen to 9 to 5 live, there's a beatbox challenge they ALL GET INVOLVED, it's awesome.

[@DrummingwithJarvis]

🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽 def Wil

[@jimveazey]

They are Home Free - a completely accapello group - no instruments. If you want to see their range and find out how good they really are start out with Man of Comstant Sorrow and follow up with Ring of Fire. You will get hooked on that rabbit hole really bad.

[@Infydel78]

You should watch Home Free Man if Constant Sorrow

[@DrummingwithJarvis]

Posted go check it out. Let me know what you think !

Hey Jarvis, I know this is a Home Free video and Adam is amazing. I was wondering if you have checked out any Def Leopard videos. If not, you should. I think you’ll be impressed by their drummer, considering.
