Dave Baumgartner Solo
Dave Baumgartner strikes me as a vocal percussionist more in my stream of experience. This solo doesn’t have a lot of popular sounds like nose growls and vocal scratching that so many hip hop beatboxers boast in their repertoires these days, but it does have some impressive sounds and tricks combined with obvious skill and dexterity. I may be wrong on this one, but he strikes me as an a cappella vocal percussionist that has learned to be a soloist as opposed to simply a solo artist. Dave, my hat’s off to you. This solo is great.
