Iâm a big fan of Metronomes. Theyâre the copy-editors of musical performance: they keep you honest.
When my sister sent me this video of French beatboxer Alem playing along with a metronome, I thought, âOkay.â Then, he kicked up the tempo a notch and I thought, âWow.â Then, he kicked it up another notch, and I thought, âHoly crap!â
There are a lot of great beatboxers out there, so I couldnât begin to say how this stacks up against other beat-beasts, but at the very least youâve gotta admire his drumline-like consistency. Sure, he gets a touch on top of the beat towards the end there, but Iâm not complaining.
Everyone having a good week? Itâs just about Wednesday, which means itâs just about Friday, which means itâs basically the weekend. So, happy weekend! Or happy Tuesday, whichever you prefer. Have good open-thread chatting here, or in the Talk Amongst Yourselves forum. See you tomorrow.
