This dude is so talented. It's crazy how many sounds he can make with his voice. And the throat sounds too are crazy (when he was doing Germany party music)

This video is what got me into beatboxing 10 years ago. I used to be insecure about the gap between my front teeth, but because of Tom it’s become the best instrument in my toolkit and that’s something I hope to thank him for in person someday

No matter how often I come back to this vid over the years his talent in mixing his voice for all the different sounds at once is still amazing...and the last "Jazz bar" bit is just a treat, especially if you've ever heard the instruments he's mimicking personally like I have from when I was in band for a couple years back in high school...they are REAL good imitations for a human voice.
