Vocal percussion

Vocal percussion is the imitation of drum and other percussive sounds with the mouth, lips, tongue, and voice. It is used in beatboxing and in vocal music traditions.

Beatboxing: Beatboxing is the performance of percussion, musical patterns, and other sounds using the vocal tract. It is the best-known modern practice centered on vocal percussion.
Konnakol: Konnakol is the spoken performance of rhythmic syllables in South Indian Carnatic music. It demonstrates a long-standing tradition of voicing complex percussion patterns.
A cappella: A cappella is vocal music performed without instrumental accompaniment. Vocal percussion can supply the rhythmic foundation when an ensemble uses no instruments.
Drum kit: A drum kit is a collection of drums and cymbals played by one performer, usually with sticks, hands, or pedals. It is the instrumental model whose sounds vocal percussion often imitates.
Vocal tract: The vocal tract is the system of cavities and articulators that shapes airflow into speech and other sounds. Its lips, tongue, and oral cavities form the main sound-producing surfaces.
Bol: Bol is a system of spoken syllables used to represent and teach drum strokes in Indian music. Its syllables connect vocalized rhythm directly to instrumental percussion.
Vocal jazz: Vocal jazz is jazz performed with the human voice, often using improvisation and distinctive phrasing. Singers use vocal percussion to imitate drums and enrich rhythmic improvisation.
Body percussion: Body percussion is the production of rhythmic sounds by striking or rubbing parts of the body. It shares the goal of making rhythm without instruments but uses bodily impacts rather than vocal articulation.
