- Headphones or good speakers will make this video really cool to listen too as these basses shake the floor. I choose each bass singers lowest note.. Featuring, JD Sumner, Tim Riley, Bill Lawrence, Buddy Liles, Christian Davis, George Younce and others
You don't LISTEN to JD Sumner, you FEEL him.
Well said!!! The King of low bass singers!!!
@@backtothefathershouse6758 JD Sumner puts all these other bass singers to shame.
He sounds like a fucking aeroplne landing
My wife just yelled from the other room, "What the fuck are you listening to?"
Center Cut Studio lmao
If you listen to J D'S low notes they actually somewhat musical. He's able to hit those notes with much more authority than anyone else too.
@Mega1Happyman that’s because JD was the best!
JD Sumner has the longest vocal cord in medical history allegedly.
Would have loved to see him sing opera or classical music with the same resonance tho(without a mic). Nobody is lower than Mikhail Zlatopolsky in that regard.May both rest in peace.
@@baxtita Zlatopolsky is the king of basses.
These make my B1 sound like Mariah Carey on Helium.
Apollo Zero Thats still pretty low, the lowest ive gotten is D2, on a good day.
Me too
+natetheguitarkid I'm 15 and I can hit a e2 and make it sound solid
+Matthew Bailey
im a man child, turning 14 in a few months and i i can go down to a solid B1 my choir teacher freaked out
I'm a girl and I can sing down to A2 but they make me sound like Georgia Brown compared to them XD

Mistake it's a brief C0 if you look at it in Audacity.
J.D. Sumner sounds like a fucking plane dropping bombs. Awesome!
Hanfgurkenhasserok
Yeah, he was pretty crazy .. he stood out, for sure.
Hanfgurkenhasser . I always loved listening to JD sing. It didn't happen too often, but sometimes the crowds were relentless, wanting him to sing the lowest notes. He's made a few speakers squak. Lol..... He loved his fans! 💜
Holy shit, I'd say
JD SUMNER !!!!!
my headphone is crying !!!
3:39 "You're breaking the speakers up!"
Mackie Grey That was Elvis Presley!
lol..love JD Sumner and Elvis!
sir J.D. Sumner, my headphone cant handle your voice.
2:50 me waking up in the morning
now i have to skip to 2:50 cause I cant just sit and wait
Me too😂

Soo... which of those is the lowest? Please be aware, I have no musical knowledge whatsoever.
AriochStarr The G0 is the lowest, which is a tone lower than a piano can go (A0). Look up scientific pitch notation if you're still confused.
Surprisingly, this video doesn't include PDK's C0 :(
ThePi314Man
Nah, I only wanted to know which of the notes listed were the lowest, as I'm sure many others before me did. Thanks for the reply, though.
David Hester shook the windows! Dang! Then J.D. Sumner says, "O.K., not bad. Try THIS!"
1:16 I thought my neighbor turned on his motorcycle
😂😂😂
Guys, these gentlemen ARE in fact singing, it's just that the lower you go, the slower your vocal cords vibrate.
My Subwoofer activated during this. Impressive.
534wiseoldwolf same
jds low is in a class by itself,,,,,dang!!
There is absolutely vocal fry in this video
Said in sarcasm?
No?
There's a lot of vocal fry, the bass boost covers a lot of it but some of it's still noticeable.
Oh, I read what you wrote as "There is absolutely NO vocal fry", my bad haha
do you even know how physics work ffs?
3:29 JD Sumner !!! OMG That's incredibly low !! soooo clean and there's no vocal fry !!!
During one part you can hear someone mentioning hes breaking the speakers
defend your face That was Elvis Presley, J D used to tour with him.
He does another chest note after this which was lower look it up when Elvis sings amen in alabama
Steven Phillips also look up Blessed assurance
J.D. SUMMER BRAVO
jd Sumner r.i.p ol buddy, what a legend 👌👌
The J.D. one sounds like a airplane
I was about to write that when I decided to check the previous comments. You're totally right!
put this on a subwoofer 😂
JLy97 I've listened to JD on my subs. Pretty insane!
jajajajajajajaajaj kind of funny!
I have a Definitive Technology sub and i couldn't crank it up without breaking windows.
Well... JD just ruptured my ear drums....
Half of these singers voices don't match their faces! Guess that's what makes them so great!
J.D Sumner got this
Mark Francis Alcantara forever the best
@thebassmanadam I would have to agree with you there.....JD was the Man..I'm a big JD fan as well....Touche.
Where's the guy with creepy eyes singing about rainbows?
Ken Turner? I don't know, he's great.
lol i love this description :)
Look on here for The Crystal River Boys, singing the song "Rainbow of Love. That's where you'll hear some of the lowest Bass singing known to man!
Yes why he isn't here?
JD still takes the blue ribbon!!!
It's interesting to hear the different tones in each bass singers voice.They are all good but some stand out. Bill Lawrence, Tim Riley, and JD Sumner are my favorites. Tim has that perfect cut in a low note, and he can blend with any group. JD Sumner could make extremely low notes sound good, and he really is just a legend. Bill Lawrence is almost a mix of Tim and JD in a good way. He can hit those lows at least down to an Eb1, and he still has a thick fantastic tone. It's sad that JD is gone, and Tim and Bill don't sing that often anymore.
J.D. Sumner is still the lowest for me.
I love hearing low notes... always gives me shivers
hello thebassmanadam thanks for shareing some of my favorite southern gospel artists bass singers.
Ol JD made my ears pop. Great compilation. Hester was amazing too.
My farts hit at least an f#1
LMAO
no joke I have heard some farts that had some bass to it. I said a small prayer for the person, and the janitor cuz I'm sure there wasn't much left.
ROFL! 😂😂😂
My farts rnt even heard just like Tim storms lowest note
This is a nice compilation. These guys are incredible singers.
Excellent!!! However, I only hear 2 bass vocalists, Gary Evans & J. D. Sumner, go below the double low C barrier. J. D. Sumner hits what sounds like a triple low B flat for a minute/split second. So does Gary Evans. I sure wish that I could sing that low!!! To the Bassmanadam:A huge thanks for putting this compilation together & posting it!!! Great job!!!!!
Ronald Shank it’s a F0
Gary Evans didn't sing below a double low C in this video, it was an E.
@MrWonnabee
There is a reason that JD Sumner is still the measuring stick by which all basses are compared too,even Tim Storms. Don't get me wrong, I am a big fan of Tim and featured him at decent length in my 19 minute bass singers video I just don't think he has anything on JD but that is just my opinion and since JD is dead we will never know for sure.
Someone in the audience told J.D. Sumner, "You're breaking the speaker up." lol!
hetaes it was elvis
That was Elvis Presley who JD Sumner sang backup for, he went to a concert with Elvis in 1971 and enjoyed it and came back for another 6 years, Elvis Presley knew JD since he was 14 years old, I've heard that Elvis always thought JD was a bit bigger than him (popularity wise -_-), Elvis would introduce him saying, "Here's a man I knew since I was 14 years old.", he watched JD sing all the time on television and came to watch them at concerts, JD would let him in for free because he didn't have enough money, when Elvis got big he started giving JD money when he needed it and to pay him back for what JD did for him. Elvis saved JD's life and marriage has well. Elvis was concerned about JD drinking and was afraid it would kill him, he always used to show off his voice at the end of concerts, which the video of the I' Gotta Woman/A'men slide features the E0.
How loooooooooooooooooooooooow can you gooooooooooo...... incredible! It is like growling thunder in the mountains. Being a soprano myself, I am duly fascinated! :-)))
Buddy Liles and J.D. Sumner' we're just the best.
My lowest note is a C -1. I'm only 4 years old too!
+Wesley Hyzell what dont troll you are only 4 years old and you cant sing this frequency
+Bora SUT he's joking. Lol
Im 15 years old and i dont know can i sing this frequency
his lowest note is probably a c3 at best
You are a very developed 4 year old.
Gary Evans sounded like my dog grunting, or it sounded like my morning farts, idk which one
LMAO
+Gunter Penguin Or a high schooler poorly bottoming out a tuba.
I absolutely love this video!
hey man, just wanna say i love your page! keep it up!
Jesus i wish i could hit that G0 J.D. Sumner hits
It's actually a E0.
@@Vanerov one octave higher man its only E1
@@alpha5321 No it isn't...
@dasenteney
it sure is!!! JD Sumner was the master at it. Tim Riley can nail low notes without a slide as can Mike Holecomb. Most of the the low basses here didn't slide into their notes. Paul Kennemer didn't and his note was well into contra bass. Sliding is just more dramatic but no, they don't need to do it to achieve these low notes.
I love the fact that you've boosted the bass a little so the bass is even more immersive.
Way to start off the video with one of my favorites, Buddy Liles. I heard him live and he literally shook the place with his low notes! I don't think he gets the proper credit for his voice. I see a lot of these bass singer videos and this is the first one to have him that I've noticed. Thanks for bringing him out for everyone to hear!
Mike Holcomb is my match
Definitely vocal fry going on.
BassActionHero what is vocal fry
Well no wonder, given how fucking low they go.
Vocal fry is not a true voice.
Ok guys, do I need to google this for you?
none of it is vocal fry. vocal fry sounds very dry. hitting those notes with fry would sound like the predator.
J.D. =boss
So totally awesome. Its a wonder how can anyone get that low.
Holy shit JD u shook my spine, that's crazy man "you're breaking the speakers up"😂😂
@Gandalf930
Also, JD in one breath did that 28 second slide down the scales then back up them. No way can you do that utilizing vocal fry no matter how good you are.
thebassmanadan 0:08 link ?
If you are 13 or 14...then you cannot hit these notes. Stop trolling these videos.
I've only heard one person at 13 that could hit Richard's Eb1; my cousin. He's 17 now, and goes all the way to A0, the lowest piano key (maybe lower). The deepest bass I know. Never heard anyone else that can even fathom going that low (second lowest being a friend at school that goes to an F1, third being my 50yo dad at Ab1). I'm sadly stuck at C2 and feel puny next to these three, despite technically being a basso profundo at a fairly young age.
***** i can hit a g1 and im 14.
Matt M Actually, singing is the harmonic phonating of the vocal folds (hence why falsetto and whistle register count for some people), normal speech has irregular sound waves while singing has even paced, equalized sound waves.
And he can sing a low E in full chest voice no problem, I've heard him do scales with his piano. He got to about F0 before his voice went into fry (yes, he went lower than the piano). It's crazy, and about a 1/100,000,000 chance. He's truly gifted. His upper range is pretty impressive for his lowness as well, managing to sustain an Eb4 in chest voice (his falsetto kinda sucks though, only gets to Bb4).
Hear your C2 from 30m away? Damn impressive. I'm a lyrical bass, so my sound doesn't carry very far, though you can tell the tones I'm hitting are genuine. I'm curious, how does your upper range pan out? My chest range is C2 to A4 (I often switch between bass and tenor in my choir) and I have falsetto up to F6 (I can use whistle register well too, but I don't because high frequencies hurt my ears). How about you?
i acually have a friend in my school jazz choir who can hit an f1 clear as day
That's not completely true. When I was 13 my voice was actually lower than it is now. I could sing low C on command with no problem. In the morning or with a cold I could sing low G and A. Now, even with a cold I can barely get past low C
JD sumner. I can feel it from head to toe. RIP goat of bass singer
omg this is amazing
@MrWonnabee
Furthermore, JD is by far the lowest in this clip!!
thebassmanadam Thanks Adam, JD will always be the lowest and the best.
jd is definetly the best!!!
All these basses are just amazing.
It seems like a joke to someone reach so low notes like they do here. I can say that this is a gift of God and God's gift no one can take or change when used properly.
Great video and selection! Would like to have seen Todd Dunaway, Wes McKinzie, Tim Storms, and Rodney Britt. All amazing basses.
Low notes without Vocal fry are impossible people, the smooth ones are chest notes, which are a mix of a low note with other overtones to create a smooth sound. Any pitch that is tonally true in this sense will have so called "vocal fry" This is because the measure of Hz measures oscillations per minute and that is perceived "Vocal Fry" while in reality its simply them hitting the note without boatloads of overtones. The concept seems to be quite mispercieved across music in general and even on a wikipedia page or two. The only way wee can hear some of those super low notes are because we are hearing the oscillations which always seem to be percieved as "Vocal fry" Dont get me wrong, vocal fry does exist in low singers and the world, its just mispercieved that some people use it to hit low notes.
I disagree. If you hear JD sumners, his notes sound very clean compared to some of the others like Gene Mcdonald, where you can clearly hear the fry
That's just the timbre of his voice that is different from others.
Jacob Halfman Not impossible, just check out the Russian Oktavists, the SING super low notes perfectly and powerfully WITHOUT all the technical enhancement or vocal fry. And they do so WITHOUT any microphones.
As you go lower, notes just sound like the have vocal fry in them (in the contra octave lower than like E1)
@Gandalf930
I have never heard that a beard changes ones masculinity. JD Sumner looked like a bass in every sense of the word and all he had was a mustache. As said before, a beard doesn't change how their vocal cords are. Its tradition is Southern Gospel to be presented well by appearance and not look scruffy shall we say. They always dress nice , their hair is done nice and for the most part they don't have scruffy looking beards. Different cultures is the best way to put it I guess.
The lowest I've heard here is Bb0, lowest contrabassoon note and also 2nd lowest note on the piano (after A0). Wow!!
You're right...this is cool when it comes through a set of descent stereo speakers. From time to time, I had a hard time believing these notes were really produced by humans! ha ha Cool post! Thank you for it!
now my brain won't stop vibrating :(
it sounds like the earth is pooping
Holy cwap. I listened to the first guy in my earbuds and got a freakin headache for like five minutes and then got lightheaded...
woot... very nice on headphones
With the exception of vocal fry, I can hit these notes. But, vocal fry is technically "cheating"
Vocal Fry is NOT cheating. It takes a lot of practice and breath control to pull it off well. It is also difficult to produce much volume singing fry. As Dylan would say "don't criticize what you don't understand".
Papa Joshua Not much. If you can Control it and sing with it with no cracking then I would consider it a part of your range.
I am a professional then because I’ve know how to fry loud since I was 5
Most of these guys do not look like they have deep voices lol.
J.D will always be my favorite.
Ooh, I may have hit B0 and C1s once or twice but only with growls, these are the monsters that truly inspire me. I find low notes are a lot more thrilling, I know I just gotta hit those.
I prefer Glenn Miller and other oktavists like him
Jd got it
I generally don't waste time with these "I'm 5 years old and can sing C0 so loud it breaks your windows" type comments. You see them everywhere on these sort of videos.
David and Sumner broke my headphones and my computer speakers, damn
glenn dustin's impressed me the most
Along with J.D. Sumner's it sounded the most..."clean".
Nik Val should be on here. Fantastic bass singer
as should be London parris
i heard nic val uses vocal fry
@@OutrageousGamingNes He is a natural bass. There are videos of him speaking and he speaks in the bass register, not the deepest, but its up there.
@@Vanerov perhaps so, yeah. can be difficult to judge
This should be called the best of Country Fry singing.
i find both videos rather cool to listen to
"This is a compliation of Southern Gospel's lowest natural bass singers." Avi Kaplan is not southern gospel. Please stop asking why he's not on here...
Tim Foust is lower than Avi
My farts' range is E1-C#6 ;)
@MrKyledude18
Thank you very much for the compliment! I love singing and love putting those videos together and always make sure they are of the highest quality. being a low bass at 17 is always impressive and that means you have lots of years ahead of you where your voice will only get lower and better! Do you have any recordings posted of you singing?
I am not too good with knowing what notes are what so how low is your lowest fry note. My comfortable lowest fry is D#1
That is true, different countries different explanations, techniques and so on..I did find the info you provided to be very interesting and educating!
I will correct one thing, Tom Stoms did indeed set a new record on April 3rd of this year and 0.189hz... He stated that he felt he could go lower because when he does vocal warm up exercises he goes as low as he can but can't hear a thing but knows he's producing sound because he can feel it!! That to me is just amazing!
I'm sorry but I've heard Tim Storms, and I heard him hit a low D in real voice, but still weak - When he goes down to C#, which is next half step down- He did hit the C# all the way down to A0-- BUT FROM C# TO A0, IT ALL SOUNDED LIKE VOCAL FRYE AND VERY WEAK. I CAN TELL THE DIFFERENCE. A GOOD EXAMPLE IS--(A GUY HAS A NATURAL BREAK IN HIS CHEST TO HEAD VOICE, AND HEAD VOICE TO FALSETTO. WELL, IT IS THE SAME THING WHEN HE GOES DOWN THE SCALE INTO THE BASS REGISTER. HE STARTS WITH FALSETTO, THEN A NATURAL BREAK INTO HIS HEAD VOICE, THEN FROM HEAD VOICE ON DOWN TO CHEST VOICE W/ A BREAK--AND LASTLY FROM CHEST VOICE TO A "BASS FALSETTO"-(THERE IS ALSO A BREAK) U DON'T HEAR MANY SINGERS TALK ABOUT IT- BUT, FALSE SETTO BASS IS WHERE MOST MEN WHO SING BASS CAN GO ABOUT 3-4 HALF STEPS LOWER AFTER THEIR VOICE BREAKS FROM CHEST VOICE TO FALSETTO BASS - AND YES, AS THEY GO LOWER, THEY CAN HIT THE NOTES ON PITCH W/ OUT VOCAL FRYING- BUT, THEIR NOTES SOUND ABOUT 40%-70% SOFTER THAN THEIR FULL CHEST VOICE WOULD SOUND. AND WITHOUT A HOT MIC, THEY CAN,'T BE HEARD. ( THAT'S WHY ALL BASSES WANT A HOT MIC- CZ THEY CAN STAY ON PITCH IN BASS FALSETTO, BUT THEY LOSE OVER HALF THEIR VOLUME. OKAY, THEN ANYTHING AFTER THE LAST BASS FALSETTO NOTE IS IT. I DONT CARE IF THE MIC IS SO HOT ITS ON FIRE- HE WILL NOT GO ANY LOWER UNLESS, AND I MEAN UNLESS, LOL!!! UNLESS HE EITHER GOES INTO THE HORRIFIC SOUND CALLED VOCAL FRY,-- OR, HE DECIDES TO MASTERS THE SUB- HARMONIC BASS TONES-AND THE SUBHARMONIC VOICE SOUNDS LIKE U ARE COMBINING YOUR HEAD VOICE W/ YOUR FALSETTO BASS. SUPPORTED BY GOOD BREATHING, STRONG DIAPHRAGM, AND A LOT OF GOOD MONTHS AND EVEN Years of PRACTICE- ENOUGH practiceTO GET THE CRACKLING OUT OF YOUR FALSETTO BASS, JUST LIKE A BARITONE OR TENOR HAVE TO GET THE CRACKS OUT OF THEIR FALSETTO WHEN THEIR HEAD VOICE TOPS OUT. The SMOOTHER THE TRANSITION, THE MORE BREATH SUPPORT AND SINGING W/ THE DIAPHRAM, AND THE MORE U PRACTICE AN STRETCH YOUR VOCAL CHORDS W/ OUT BREAKING OR DAMAGING THEM- THEN THE STRONGER AND CLEARER A TENOR OR A BASS WILL SOUND WHEN THE TENORS GO UP THE SCALE FROM HEAD TO FALSETTO VOICE.-- AND THE SAME CONCEPT APPLIES TO THE BASS SINGER GOING LOWER FROM HIS HEAD VOICE TO HIS CHEST VOICE TO HIS FALSETTO VOICE BASS VOICE, THEN THE FALSETTO BASS TO THE SUB- HARMONIC BASS. WHICH WILL GET U 5 NOTES LOWER MAX. BUT BECUZ MOST BASS SINGERS HAVE NEVER HEARD OF THE SUB HARMONIC RANGE, AND DON'T KNOW HOW TO PRACTICE IT. THEY JUST GO TO THE GOOD OLE VOCAL FRYE!!! I HAD NEVER HEARD OF IT- UNTIL A GUY DID SOME TEACHING ON UTUBE ABOUT 6 YRS AGO. THEN SNOTHER DTSRTED 4 YESRS AGO. THEY DO A BETTER JOB OF EXPLAINING IT, BECUZ THEY ALSO DEMONSTRATE IT- AND HAVE MASTERED SINGING IN THAT RANGE. SOUNDS REAL, NO FAKE. ( NOW, KEN TURNER MASTERED THE SUB-HARMONIC REGISTER- WHICH IS REALLY JUST VOCAL FRY; COMBINED WITH HIS CHEST AN FALSETTO BASS VOICE, W/ GOOD BREATHING AND A STRONG DIAPHRAM--THAT SOUNDS ALMOST REAL-BUT NOT QUITE. I'VE BEEN SINGING BASS LONG ENOUGH TO KNOW WHEN SOMEBODY HAS ALMOST MASTERED IT, BUT NOT QUITE. MEANING. IT IS EITHER A HIT OR MISS FOR HIM. ( IT WILL ALLOW ANY BASS TO GO 5 NOTES LOWER AFTER HE BOTTOMS OUT WITH HIS BASS FALSETTO.) BUT IT TAKES PRACTICE, PRACTICE, PRACTICE!!!! CZ AFTER THE LOW G HE HITS IN FULL CHEST VOICE. TO BE ABLE TO CONTINUE ON DOWN THE SCALE-- AND HAVE A FULL SOUND ON PITCH WITH NO CRACKING OR FUZZY SOUNDS-- AND TO DO IT RIGHT EVERY TIME WHERE IT SOUNDS GOOD, AND UFOOL 95% OF THE PEOPLE EACH TIME- U HAVE TO MASTER IT. ( KEN TURNERS SOUNDS GOOD- BUT HE BOTTOMS OUT AROUND G OR F# -- THEN SLIDES ON DOWN JUST ABOUT 4 MORE HALF STEPS TO HIT THE DOUBLE LOW C IN THE SONG-" "RAINBOW OF LOVE." USING HIS SUBHARMONIC TECHNIQUE. IN MY OPINION-- SO I GIVE THE MAN HIS PROPS- HE MASTERED THE SUBHARMOMIC REGISTER. I DAID ALL THAT TO SAY THIS, JD SUMNER SLIDES DOWN 3 HALF STEPS OFF THE PIANO ON UTUBE WITH NO VOCAL FRY PERIOD. AFTER HE HITS THE LAST NOTE ON THE PIANO, WHICH IS AN A- I GOT MY SCALE TUNER NOTE REGISTER OUT 3 TIMES, AND WITH ELVIS IN LIVE CONCERT GOES FROM THE A TO 3 MORE HALF STEPS DOWN PIANO TO HIT G#,G,,THEN F#. AND HE MIGHT Have used his falsetto bass just to hit last 3 notes half steps, BUT, I CAN HEAR HIM WITH ZN OLD MIC IN A 1976 CONCERT WITH ELVIS PRESSLEY. AND IN MY OPINION, IM NOT EVEN SURE HE USED HIS FALSETTO BASS FOR THE LAST NOTE, AND DEFINITELY NOT VOCAL FRY. BECUZ HE RETAINS 70% OF HIS FULL VOLUME- AND WHEN U GET THAT LOW- 3 HALF STEPS OFF THE Piano, your gonna sound softer. To me, if I can't hear Tim storms, and he doesn't register on my pitch scale measurer- then IT DON'T count. A0 is all I get. And in 1963 JD is in LI E concert WITH Blackwood brothers singing a bass solo part on the song - I think it's called I'm free, or it is the song on the SAME LOVE record on utube- And this is when JD was in his prime- HE WAS 38 OR 39, HIS VOICE WAS SO CLEAR, CRISP, STRONGER THAN IVE EVER HEARD JD
1ST TIME I HEARD THIS ALBUM. BUT THEY ARE LIVE WITH THE STATESMAN THERE ALSO, CZ WHILE HES SINGING HE CRACKS A JOKE WITH BIG CHEIF FROM STATESMAN QUARTET--AND A BABY STARTS CRYING- JD SAID BLESS ITS HEART- IN THE MIDDLE OF HIS SIGNATURE SONG- LOW BASS SOLO PART- HE DIDN'T BAT AN EYE THEN STARTED AROUND AN A1, AND SLID STRAIGHT DOWN TO A0- LAST NOTE ON THE PIANO, --AND THEN SLID BACK UP TO MAYBE A0 OR LOW C0, AND I THINK HE ENDED THE SONG ON ABOUT A LOW C OR D. AND HE HIT A SUSTAINED A0 WITH POWER AND HELD IT FOR 6 OR 7 SECONDS- LAST NOTE ON THE PIANO IN FULL VOICE. BUT HE WAS MUCH YOUNGER THEN. I MEASURED IT WITH MY PITCH METER TWICE, AND ALL 3 TIMES IT REGISTERED A0! THE CROWD WENT WILD!!! SO TO ME--HE'S STILL THE MAN, THOUGH HE PASSED AWAY IN 1997.- SO, IN MY OPINION W/ FACTS- HE IS STILL THE GREATEST LOWEST BASS SINGER EVER!!!! AN REMEMBER ALSO, JD NEVER GOT THE GUINNESS RECORD HITTING A DOUBLE LOW C- BUT SOMEBODY GAVE THE GUINESS BOOK OF WORLD RECORDS A RECORD WITH HIM HITTING A DOUBLE LOW C ON THE THE SONG HOW GREAT THOU ART I THINK.HE DIDN'T HAVE TO GO AN PERFORM FOR THE GUINESS BOOK OF WORLD RECORD. BUT IF HE CD HIT A DOUBLE LOW C IN HIS LATE 20S! AND THEN, HIT AN A0, THE VERY LAST NOTE ON THE PIANO AT THE RIPE OLD AGE OF 38 IN A LIVE CONCERT WITH THE BLACKWOOD BROTHERS QUARTET. AND THEN, AT THE ANCIENT OLD AGE OF JUST #52-- HE NAILED AN F#, 3 NOTES OFF THE PIANO IN AN ELVIS CONCERT IN 1976 DOING A SECULAR SONG, WITH A 70S MIC AN SOUND SYSTEM, AND DID IT ON THE SPOT IN FRONT OF 1000' S OF PEOPLE!!!( LOL!!!) WOW!!!! AMAZING!!! SO, DID THE KING OF THE BASS SINGERS BOTTOM OUT WITH AN F# SINGING FOR ELVIS P., THE KING OF ROCK AND ROLL??? WE WILL NEVER KNOW. BUT WE DO KNOW HE HIT AN F# THAT COULD BE HEARD 3 HALF STEPS OFF THE PIANO AND MEASURED TODAY. AND WE DO KNOW THAT EVERY DECADE, HIS VOICE SEEMED TO GET A LITTLE WEAKER- BUT AT THE SAME TIME A LITTLE LOWER. AND WE KNOW THAT HE LIVED TILL HE WAS 76, AND WAS SINGING CLOSE TO THE DAY HE DIED. AND WAS HITTING GS AN FS IN HIS SPEAKING VOICE. LOL!!!! AMAZING!!! SO, IF HE HAD BEEN MEASURED JUST ONE MORE TIME IN HIS 70S- INSTEAD OF AT #53( WHEN HE HIT THE F# W/ ELVIS THE KING OF ROCK AN ROLL) COULD HE HAVE GONE A LITTLE LOWER.23 YEARS LATER??? IN MY OPINION - YES!!! CZ MOST LOW BASS PROFUNDOS SINGERS JUST KEEP GETTING LOWER N LOWER EVERY 10 YEARS!
SO MY ANSWER IS A DOUBLE YES!!! I THINK HE WOULD HAVE BOTTOMED OUT AT AN E BELOW THE A0 WITH NO VOCAL FRY!!! AND JD NEVER LET HIS AUDIENCE DOWN. I HEARD HIM LIVE WITH THE MASTERS 5 IN 1984 IN ATHENS GA, AND HE WAS AWESOME!!! NEVER HEARD ANYTHING THAT LOW IN MY LIFE! U THOUGHT, THIS DUDES GOTTA BE CHEATING. NO! HE WAS JUST THAT INCREDIBLE!!!!! EVEN LIVE!!!! AWESOME!!! JD IS STILL THE MAN!!! THE LEGEND!!!!
Uhm. These do have vocal fry. Js.
JD isn't using vocal fry, he doesn't know what vocal fry is.
WHAT ABOUT VLADIMIR MILLER!?!?!?
He doesn't sing Gospel.
Joseph Morinello good for him.
Thank god.
That Moment when you are a Countertenor and your lowest Note is a B2......-.-
comedy gold
Fantastic...fry or not! Adam, you da man!
NO vocal fry? come on man, don't give me that crap.
JD is using full voice, he doesn't know what vocal fry is.
Where is Avi Kaplan, he is awesome! Look him up
music kittens He's not low enough to compare to these Beast, IMO.
He's more of a vocal bass, not a bass singer. I haven't heard him singing lyrics with his low range.
Yeah I've only really heard a fry F#1. The best without fry is G#1.
zane7949 At least he uses his natural voice while singing, while everyone on this video uses a lot of fry in a melodic way. Not even JD Sumner is natural, every note of him is fry below F1.
Also, lowest Avi note is a D1/Eb1, pretty near to guys like Davis, Adams or Lawrance, and surely lower than overrated ones like Younce, Riley and Dustin.
The bad thing is, he doesn't sing too much with his bass register, he just does notes in the background.
zane7949 The only times I've heard him like singing bass is in "Love again", "Daft punk" and maybe "Silent Night". The rest are background notes.
This is freaking better than a basstest :o
Glenn Dustin gets my vote here! Great tone and control.
why is Tim Storms not in this???!!!! he holds Guinness world record lowest voice at a G(-7)
Cause that's useless fry.
+Triffton what do you mean by useless fry?
+Matthew Lynn just fry not chest voice like Jd.Sumner
+siloanos nos i know now what fry is... its just whats gonna happen when getting that low, its unavoidable but theres really nothing wrong with it, its actually how the soundwaves work at those frequencies. but it doesnt sound bad. it sounds equally as good when sang in a group (duet at least). in a group its hardly noticable
+Matthew Lynn yeah I know it's still good but ... if you say why tim didn't in here coz he can't sing like bass singer in here .. tim use his mic for his low note ...
Tim storms can hit low E.He has 10 octaves!
Sorry, but nobody has that range. There are not even 10 octaves on a piano and I know a good bass can not sing like a soprano. Only 8 octaves on a piano, so you need to recheck your stats. Nobody can sing that many octaves.
The lowest singer is J.D. Sumner. He's in the record books as the lowest recorded note.
pickin4you Actually search Tim Storms.He even said so himself.There is a lot of videos on him.He sings so low the naked human ear cannot hear it.I think YOU should check YOUR stats

I have checked and rechecked. JD still holds the record. Anyone can sing into a microphone and force low note out, but JD Sumner actually recorded his on an album while singing a song. I looked up Tim, and its such a joke. His muoth was closed, so I do not see how they can count that as actually singing.. JD Sumners record was of him actually singing and recording a song for an album. Nobody has beat that record. Tim Storms so called record... everyone is doubting it. Guinness even said it was the lowest SOUND. He did not actually SING the note. JD could sing lower than anyone. I did my research, now time for you to double check yours. There is a video of Tim "HUMMING" the low "sound".
No one can sing 10 octaves. where is this person who can sing 10 octaves? A piano doesn't even have 10 octaves. Do you even know what an octave is?
TruthSurge SEARCH TIM STORMS.HE CAN HIT IT
i love basses 🙃
@BenBistro004
Bout time someone said that! I use it all the time and for those that think its not look it up on Wikipedia. Its been recently accepted as a legitimate part to ones range and singing just like falsetto has. Its an extension of ones natural range and some can do it musically. Well said sir!! I wish i knew it was frowned upon by so many unless those many are jealous?!
Holy crap y'all I'm 2 weeks old and can hit an Eb-5 comment if I should make a video.
Jk but seriously we all know that none of u can hit the notes u say u can hit
I can hit a Cb-3 with fry^^
Not jk
Well, we CAN, But not as good as these guys.
Timmy Smith legit, I don't know my lowest notes, but when I watch avi kaplan's and tim foust's deep voice videos I can match them.
Timmy Smith Well, the lowest I can hit is F2 but I wish I could go down to C2 :D
Nekros97 C1 here...
Hello again
This video has so much Vocal Fry and Bass boost its pathetic. Maybe you should change the opening credits.
Dalton Watson doesn't change the pitch
Yeet Yoot also doesn't change the fact that the opening crawl says "absolutely no fry!"
Dalton, You can look up JD Sumner in the Guinness Book of World Records, and then retract your erroneous comment.
I know , people need to know their shit before they start talking shit . Lmao . Jd also , held the longest note in this video and the lowest .
And I didn't even know they had such a thing as bass boosting back in the 70s when the clip of jd was recorded . Haha
almost infra sound, amazing
I'm going to buy new headphones! Done!
