What is Beatbox Flute?
Beatboxing is the art of imitating drum beats with your voice and mouth. This particular art form started to develop after the invention of drum machines. Which were expensive devices that you could program to play drum beat. Beatboxing came from the young people who started copying these sounds.
If you had to break a drum kit down into only its absolute core parts you would find only 3. A bass drum, snare drum and Hi-Hat cymbal. Everything is else is just extra. So when your learning to mimic a drumset you start with these 3 essentials.
Beatboxing flute combines these percussive sound with normal flute playing allowing you to play both a melody and beat at the same time.
