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

He does it all with so much joy. Makes him extremely sympathetic to me. Great skill developed with curiosity and experimental enthusiasm. Love that!

The Germany part of the “Tour of Sounds” was flawless, always my favorite part!

I think this is genuinely one of the best presentation about beatbox of all time, especially to people who are not familiar with it. He made it simple, lighthearted & funny but at the same time showcase how complex the art of beatboxing is in the most relatable & enjoyable way possible (aka the journey across the world segment). Was blown away when i first watched this 8 years ago, still blown away in 2022
