Home Free: Drum Solo [SPM ST15] - REACTION

[@LeandraSilvio]

"That's only half? What's he going to do now? Oh, probably the 50 other instruments..." 🤣🤣🤣🤣 yep! Great reaction!

[@jojudd3116]

OMG!!!! Your reaction is priceless...ROTFLMAO!!!!!!! I had to watch this twice just to see your reaction again. FANTASTIC!!!!

[@survivalconcerns515]

"That's only half? What's he going to do next? Probably the other 50 instruments." Exactly!!!

[@miamidolphinsfan]

And in those 6 years he's even gotten better. To hear Adam shine in music, listen to Home Free's covers of Some Girls do & MayDay.

[@survivalconcerns515]

He's not deep enough of in the rabbit hole for May Day yet.

[@charleneclaassen]

Even though he hasonly gotten better in the last six years THIS DRUM SOLO IS STILL MY FAVOURITE. Never gets old.

[@ShyAnn291]

I think this one is amazing!

[@blackconcept610]

Hi friend, if you want to see cool drumming skills, please check this video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/rZbUdXp4rbqnock he is Oki Fadhlan, the drummer for the Jasad Band from Indonesia in the Siliwangi song, his drumming is like a machine gun

[@pennygarrity386]

I totally agree and I love that he actually looked embarrassed when the audience just kept clapping even after he took a second bow.

[@aprilebert157]

What's even more scary is in the last 6 years he's gotten even more amazing!!!

[@rodconner9079]

As I sit here, drinkin' my coffee (don't confuse that with the time of day!), I grin! The facial expressions tell the story! :) And yeah, that was 6yrs ago --- he's gotten much better, added a few, and sharpened up a bit. Now, he does this every show while the guys are on break. And to experience this (actually the whole thing) LIVE in person ---- it messes with yer head ... A LOT!!!!

[@mettesrensen6116]

I´ve seen a pro dj reacting to the one LoRyder is talking about , at the end he laughed and said --Well there goes my job

[@toodlescae]

Throw in some Michael Winslow from Police Academy and that's our 'Freak of Nature' Adam Rupp.

[@samuelengle3773]

Me: Mr Rupp what did you have for dinner last night? Adam: A drumkit with a side of scratch table and beatbox.

[@LoRyder]

Yep, That was 6 years ago, and he just keeps getting better. You don't have to react to it, but if you want to watch a newer one, look up the "Adam Rupp's amazing drum solo with Home Free Tifton, Ga 3-16-18", or the "Home Free - Dive Bar Saints CD Release Party - Adam Rupp Beatboxing Solo - 07-22-2019". He's just amazing. All of these will be fan-shot videos on cell phones, so won't be perfect quality, but WOW, so good! I can't wait to see them for the first time next month. Thanks for the great reaction!

[@marylynn8455]

Great reaction! I believe the term vocal percussionist has been used for Adam, since beatboxer doesn't quite capture his talent...he is amazing. This is an earlier video...he has increased his skills tenfold. Thanks!

[@nancypriddy4382]

He does a drum solo at all their live concerts. It sounds even better live. Love your reaction.

[@nightthornkvala94132]

Years of playing the trumpet when he was young taught him the breath control he'd need for routines like this. He had drum lessons enough to get the movements right.

[@marlahudgins7038]

I was in the front row during a drum solo, and Tim told everyone who is skeptical to just ask the front row, cause we've all been showered. lol

[@AmirFazadh]

That's just nuckin' FUTZ! Here you have the drummer with the absolutely shortest set-up and tear-down times ever. Bass players have short set-up times, but he'd beat me with a minute to spare!

[@chrismorin1318]

I absolutely love watching Adam break people's brains when they watch these drum solos! Your expressions were priceless! As many others have stated, he's only gotten better and added to his repertoire! A fun video showing some of his newer sounds is The Sea Shanty Medley. Not only is Adam awesome in that one, it's just a fun and funky version of the sea shanty's that were all the rage on TikTok this past year. Home Free actually separated the different Shanty's and asked people to duet them on TikTok. There were actually some pretty good ones. Great reaction!

[@carolinpettit7944]

Since you enjoy Adam, try Sea Shanty Medley and Folsom Prison Blues, he goes crazy in both of them. Adam is awesome! They really all are. Thank for your reaction!

[@babyfry4775]

So glad you saw this. Home Free doesn’t need instruments when you have Adam. He’s so damn good and didn’t even do the harmonica and castanets. Yeah I think he swallowed a drum kit. Good reaction!

[@carolyngregory9092]

He's a drummer and can play the trumpet which probably accounts for is ability to hold alot of air. When you research him, he's very humble and quiet. A true talent!

[@nightthornkvala94132]

If you check out the newer drum solos from their Dive Bar Saints tour, 2021-2022, you'll hear how much he has improved since this masterpiece. Perfection then, perfection now. There's also another one out from this time period where the crowd does the Say 1, Say 2, but instead of copying the scratching for 3 they just say 3, then 4 without out prompting. That one is just as funny. Adam's face is priceless. Like your reactions to my favorite group. Love 'em!

[@teresacartwright5406]

Adam Rupp took jazz drumming and when you watch most of the Home Free videos, he plays imaginary drums when he's beatboxing - he's just amazing, You know just how much he's practiced just by watching his shoulder muscles - he'd give a lot of body-builders a run for the money. Absolutely gob-smacking . . . (hey, I'm Canadian - that's a real phrase . . . )

[@johndeeregreen4592]

There is a reason why Adam is called "The Freak of Nature".

[@TonyBrown-lf5nj]

Highly gifted talented man.

[@debbiecrawford7925]

Adam is mind blowing. Home Free just has a sound of their own. Great reaction

[@eriklind8489]

Adam is so unreal...I have seen drummers react to this and they are like....wow he is doing stuff with his mouth that is very hard for a drummer to do.... He is even more awesome live

[@staceysmith8173]

He could be a DJ at my party anytime. I would throw a party just to have him DJ lol

[@jennasmall4379]

If you ever see them live this is part of EVERY SHOW. this is an old one he’s gotten even better since

[@jenniferrichard9644]

Your face says it all! Gotta love our Adam!

[@par500dragon7]

Adam learned to actually play drums at the beginning of Home Free, so his performances would be authentic. One reactor, who is a professional drummer, says Adam is well respected by professionals because he doesn't make drum sounds or patterns that a real drummer wouldn't.

[@CarlaDelk]

Amazing! Loved your reaction! Adam Rupp is a great talent and the back bone of Home Free! Thank you for your reaction!

[@fionaedwards6216]

Yes, it was six years ago, and he's even more awesome now. Like you said he could play anything he's phenomenal and that's on a bad day' 🤗🤗

[@mellowmarsha6166]

It's so cool to see someone watch Adam for the first time.. Totally amazing..

[@jwest142]

By far my favorite reactor. The commentary is hilariously funny but it’s genuine. I really like watching, keep it coming. Adam needs no comments from me. He is fabulous.

[@carolyngregory9092]

If you dive into them, watch the video when Tim blows the speakers with his voice. Adam is amazing!!

[@dawnmanzetti1633]

Your facial expressions were priceless 😆

[@AmirFazadh]

Adam is The Human Sampler. Period. Full-stop. End. Of. Freakin'. Story.

[@edithdavis2848]

He has far out grown this, does casstinets, harmonica and always adding more

[@belindastoltzfus7029]

ADAM.....A FREAK OF NATURE

[@robleffler6584]

Micheal Winslow is the actor from police academy you are thinking of, so talented

[@mrschrissworld]

Ya Got me Cracking Up Your Face Tells it All Man Omg Lol Dude Adam Is Amazing I'm Home Free Fan

[@patriciawoyczik1657]

Awesome reaction! I don't watch the video...I've seen it many times and I've also seen it live...I watch the expressions of the reactor...and yours were priceless! As others have said ....he has gotten even greater since this recording!

[@lindanearing7097]

I'm not exaggerating when I say I've watched this video over 100 times. I'm 70 years old and before I discovered Home Free about 6 months ago, a cappella music and beatboxing were nowhere on my radar. Now I'm an addicted Home Fry especially Adam and downloading Home Free videos and Adam's beatboxing videos. I'd love to see them live before I kick the bucket.

[@lorrieriddle2211]

He is definitely known as the freak of nature. I think he is a few ticks away from Michael Winslow from Police Academy fame (as you noted). He is awesome! He also sings (you can hear his tenor in How Great Thou Art). They ALL do beatboxing in the live concert of 9-5 Beatbox Breakdown. It will also blow your mind. The amazing thing to me is that Adam didn't even learn how to beatbox until he was in college with his brother Chris who co-founded the group (in 2000). He watched several beatbox videos (and Doug E Fresh was probably one of them) & he learned how to play the drums so he could replicate the sounds & be able to "play" them in the concerts. He got his degree in college on playing the trumpet, hence the awesome breath control. He is a 2X world champion beatboxer voted as such by other beatboxers and judges in European a cappella competitions. (He probably has won more since I last checked). He is mind blowing to say the least. He does this drum solo in the concerts to give the other guys' voices a break. However HE doesn't take a break from beatboxing during the entire concert (from what I understand).

[@ReactionsbyD]

amazing - put his work in!

[@lorrieriddle2211]

And putting his work in paid off clearly. 😉😁

[@kristipenwell8611]

Yep! That was a while ago and he has only added to and refined his incredible skills. Loved watching you react to this as well as Home Free! Love the blunt, real reactions!😁

[@cclawson8013]

I am loving your reactions to Home Free! So fun to watch someone new learn about the group!

[@brendagrothier967]

A good way to hear Timothy's bass speaking voice too.

[@nightthornkvala94132]

You might want to take a look at their video short titled 'Leaving Adam Out to Dry On Stage.' They done a major blooper! the blonde lady at the end is Tim's wife Jenika. Another onstage blooper is the video by a fan from the seats during a show called Home Free Falls. Too funny.

[@maryruthdeal105]

The group call him a freak of nature

[@susanengland3919]

Adam Rupp's primary instrument is trumpet, but he also plays drums, keyboard, and bass guitar. Since joining, Foust and Brown have also become very active in writing and arranging.

[@gerselinde]

The character in Police Academy is _Larvell Jones_ , the actor playing the role is Michael Winslow.

[@marlenekloth4734]

Adam learned to play drums so he could get the hand gestures correct

[@chrismorin1318]

And also how and where to place his different drum sounds. He wanted to make sure it would sound authentic.

[@grandmakaren4680]

I bet he can keep his kids entertained for hours😊

[@debrafujioka9792]

Adam won 2 worldwide championships. We love your Adam

[@debrafujioka9792]

Our

[@elizabethgould6122]

One word -WOW ❣️💯🔥🍟

[@nancylinger5377]

The phrase I've heard and really like is "vocal percussionist "

[@michaelriley8101]

Great reaction! Thanks!

[@NanaKaren1953]

Everytime I watch this I find myself holding my breath😅. Nana Karen UK

[@helenegraber860]

Great Adam!!!!!!

[@peggygallagher5802]

[@carinalundstrom7566]

[@angel44144]

[@nunchuck47]

I absolutely love your reactions bro awesome 👌

[@brendagrothier967]

Next watch Home Free's Sea Shanty Mefley........Adam is amazing!!!!

[@ayataka7027]

That’s amazing🔥

[@ferrisdonoso4556]

He is a vocal olympic athlete.

[@maryruthdeal105]

The group was asked which of them has the big range...Tim (who has a 5 octave range ) said Adam

[@jcofortco]

Dougie-Fresh be waaaaaay back on my timeline! 😊 Police Academy guy was SIC. 😮

[@debbiehall9091]

Imagine how much better he is now.

[@linda.cafaro4284]

Love your facial expressions they say it all

[@tmkellison4016]

I can see him as a little boy just constantly making noises, like mine used to. His mouth was ALWAYS running just making noises

[@2wheels298]

If you get the chance to go to one of their concerts.. You should GO...

[@ArleneAdkinsZell]

Glad you checked this out.

[@alicehuddleston308]

D- THE GUY IN POLICE ACADEMY IS MICKAEL WINSLOW. HE IS CURRENTLY COMPETING IN AMERICA'S GOT TALENT, CHECK OUT THE SEMI FINALS AND START FROM THERE. I HAVE SO MANY PROGRAMS RECORDED AND HAVEN'T WATCHED THE RESULTS SHOW YET SO I DON'T KNOW IF HE MADE IT TO THE FINALS.

[@annebiebrich9155]

He has newer solos....gotta check it out!

[@amberburris5674]

HAHAAHA you said "what's the word" and I said flabbergasted right before you did lmao!!!!

[@nightthornkvala94132]

Another wonderful number to react to would be Guilty Pleasures. And after 2 or 3 more videos you'd probably be ready to react to Mayday. Enjoy!

[@dukewalker9144]

Adam's mic needed a smoke after that performance! :)

[@ctrudeau55]

Dude I like your personality I subbed

[@dawnmanzetti1633]

2 time world beat boxing champion

[@elizabethgould6122]

Check out his last one🔥

[@jillchamberlain6478]

Check out the version from 2018 in Tifton, Georgia. Newer material, shows the growth in skills. Also the Home Free Live version of 9 to 5 + Beatboxing Breakdown. They all do some sounds.

[@RichardMickle-n6i]

What did I just hear and see 😳😳😳😳

[@bobdicecco4511]

[@pennygarrity386]

"Back in my day" is the best way to give away your age lol

[@ReactionsbyD]

[@-Lilian-1]

[@jeannewallace5383]

[@zannebrazeau]

[@deidres100]

Do you remember Michael Winslow, from Police Academy?

[@ReactionsbyD]

[@JohnSzabo-te2gs]

Hey Brother, U have to look into TALK (Run away to Mars )...won`t regret!

[@kmwwrench]

If you haven't checked out a more recent version, here's a link to the video from a show last week. kzbin.info/www/bejne/fX2Vo5KClNqlf7M I saw them live at Christmas and he did Carol of the Bells. I was speechless. Still am. There are several videos of that out tnere, too.

[@MisKunimitsuTezuka]

[@chrislucero4575]

Good god

[@ITDOESNTHAVETOMAKESENSE]

[@suyetarose]

When you grow up broke enough you gotta make your own drums 🤣

[@ReactionsbyD]

[@ITDOESNTHAVETOMAKESENSE]

What he should is have a full drum kit and no sticks.

[@tonyfro23]

You and I are supposed to be

[@joycep7879]

Here is a newer solo. This is part 2, part 1 is like what you just watched. But part 2 he does Thriller from Michael Jackson. kzbin.info/www/bejne/oprRlqRtnNWJncU
