Last Beat and Shaker Sound Lesson

Hey, guys,

I thought I'd leave you with one last beat so you can show off with your friends.

Introducing the Shaker Sound

I want to teach you a shaker sound, which really puts everything together. It's a really simple sound, goes like this: all you're doing is saying the word "right."

• You alternate between "chick" and the "sh" sound.
• When you hear it on its own, you can go simply.

And then in a beat, it sounds like: "right." Simple enough!

Adding the Shaker

When you put the shaker in, it sounds like this, and it really fills it out, giving it a really nice full sound.

• While you're getting used to the shaker sound, you can even pronounce the word:
  • "chicka chicka, right?"
• It sounds like:
  • "chicka, chicka, chick, chicka, chicka, chick, chicka, right?"

Practicing Without Vocalization

Once you get used to that, you can take away the vocalization and keep your "sh" sound, which sounds like: "right."

Expanding the Beat

Once you've practiced that beat and got the hang of it, then you can start to go faster, making it a bit more complicated. This can include:

• Putting in cymbal crashes
• Trying different kinds of hi-hats in between the shaker sounds

Just do whatever you feel you want to express and go with it.

Have Fun

Get creative and have fun!

I've had a really good time teaching you guys the fundamentals of beatboxing, and I hope you've enjoyed it too.
