Beatboxing Basics: The "Boots Cats" Pattern

Hey, guys! Welcome back. I hope you're having fun practicing your beatboxing.

The "Boots Cats" Pattern

Today, I'm going to show you how to incorporate different sounds you're learning into beat patterns. We'll start with a very basic one, which goes like this:

Right? This is the "boots cats" pattern.

Getting Comfortable

To get used to it, just say the phrase:

"Boots, cats. Boots, cats."

Once you've got the hang of that, focus on the consonants again. Eventually, it'll sound sharper, crisper, and sound like:

"B-T-K"

Practice Tips

Whenever you've got some free time, practice saying those simple words:

"Boots, cats. Boots, cats."

• Start at a slow pace.
• Gradually speed it up until you're really comfortable with it.

Moving On to Complicated Patterns

Once you've mastered the basics, you can move on to more complicated beat patterns.

For example, right here, we're using a different kind of snare. You can use whichever snare you like, and you can also add different elements like:

• Open hi-hats
• Cymbal crashes

Let's Try It Together

To get you used to this, let's revisit the very simple "boots cats" pattern:

1. We're going to start with your B.
2. Follow with T.

Right? You want to focus on making each sound really clear, differentiating between each sound to create that dynamic.

Final Reminders

Let's try it again together.
