    This song is done in a country reggae beat. It showcases the higher & lower ranges of both Tim Foust & Avi Kaplan. That last note of Tim is impressive with how low he goes, but more impressive is how long he sustains the note. On the "Sing Off Show" that Home Free won in 2013 Tim goes even lower on this song "Ring Of Fire" & he impressed the judges so much that they gave them a standing ovation. And Adam Rupp once again was stellar in his vocal percussion. He is in a league by himself!

    They all are immensely talented. Austin for his long high notes. Adam’s beatboxing. Try Adam Rupp Drum Solo (2015). He’s award winning and amazing. And Tim is incredible. He has a 5 octave range. He can sing so low. If you love bass, try Brothers in Arms. Or hear Chance (their newest member) as a baritone/bass do I Can’t Outrun You. Lots of bass. Enjoyed your reaction!😃

    If you like bass singers, then react to the new video from The Bass Gang featuring Tim Foust! You get to hear Tim Foust's 5 octave range! I have heard Tim Foust sing as low as #G1 Subharmonic all the way as high as an A5! Tim Foust is known to bust speakers with his low resonance. I love Avi Kaplan's rich warm bass sound which is perfect for this song "Ring of Fire". You might already know that Home Free's beat boxer Adam Rupp is a 2-time world champion beat boxer. You should react to Adam Rupp's 2015 live drum solo where he sounds like he swallowed a drum set and also swallowed a sound mixing machine! If you want to hear the DEEPEST Bass singer, then react to The Bass Singers of TikTok's version of "Hoist the Colors"!

    Ring of Fire in a more modern, somewhat reggea-like version, but still respecting the original. More than 4 years ago this was the first video I saw/heard from Home Free. I got there because I was listening to Pentatonix at the time and Avi was my favorite. Immediately there was something that drew me to Home Free. From then on I followed them and after I think 2 videos I was a real Home Fry. I hardly follow PTX anymore. Avi still does, because Avi Kaplan and Home Free let me feel music and not just hear it. Their great harmonies, the unbelievably good beatboxing/vocal percussion and of course that incredible deep bass that makes the ground vibrate and your speakers explode.

    Yes Tim and Avi sound so great together and I think it has a lot to do with the fact that Tim has mentored Avi in his growth of bass singing. Tim has an amazing 5 octave vocals that is very clear and concise and Avi is more warm and velvety smooth. Adam, the beatboxer, is in a world class of his own which he created. No one does what he can do in creating multiple sounds of many instruments, seemingly all at the same time. This guy tops the beatboxers charts, in my opinion.

    As a base singer Tim has the largest range I have personally ever heard from a base singer. His low register seems to be just a bit lower than any other base singer and his high register is certainly higher than any other one. Apparently he is also famous for blowing out the speakers when they perform live in concert. He does not do it all the time, but he does it often enough to be known ( good or bad ) for it.

  • @DarthKoonstyle
    @DarthKoonstyle Рік тому

    Subharmonics? I think this technique was a growl, Geoff Castelucci hits some subharmonics (third Acapella group called Voiceplay). They recently did Nothing Else Matters, and you can hear some subharmonics in that one!
    Usually Subharmonics are caused by activiating the 'false vocal folds" , a lot of time initiated with vocal fry, that causes them to oscillate at half of the frequency of the vocal folds, which creates makes one hear the lower octave. I've heard Geoff get down to a B0 in Voiceplay's cover of the Halo Theme. Geoff usually can hit down to G1 in chest, but has been known to go down to C1 and D1 in Subs regularly during Voiceplay and his own solo covers.

Tim does some crazy acrobatics in there and Adam's percussion, while just a very simple country rhythm, is so crisp and clean. Plus, I believ Tim goes subharmonic at the end of that ne too....and ten smiles about it! LOL

    Subharmonics is a well known thing in the bass community. So your ears are not deceiving you. I'm impressed, actually. Tim can go much higher than this with a chest/ chest dominant mixed voice. He has over a 5 octave range. If you want to hear more of Tim's higher range he has a YT channel. Come Go With Me/ Stay and Since I Don't Have You are two I love. Although he sings in the "Frankie Valley" style for part these there are other songs showcasing his normal chest dominant high range. Hope that makes sense coming from a novice. Loved the video, thx!

    Point to debate? What you are labeling as a "sub-harmonic"? Is it really possible that the ultra low (G1?) is the actual and that the harmonic we're hearing is the standard "stepped up" harmonic you speak of typically hearing???? I'm a tech computer analyst so no music experience (other than listening) but do like to explore both sides of the rock so to speak.

      It's possible but given the strength of tone, I would guess it is a subharmonic. It's possible it is produced digitally in post production but it sounds too natural for that to me. Here is an article that explains vocal subharmonics pretty well if you feel so inclined:
