Vocal percussion

Vocal percussion involves using the human voice to mimic rhythmic sounds typically created by percussion instruments like drums and cymbals. Singers or vocalists produce these sounds through techniques such as beatboxing, which combines rhythmic vocal patterns, sound effects, and breathing control. This art form allows performers to provide rhythm, texture, and even melodic elements without traditional instruments, often used in a cappella music or sound design. It showcases vocal versatility and creativity, transforming the voice into a versatile instrument capable of producing complex, expressive percussive sounds.
