I beatboxed 5 hours a day for a week.
A tougher challenge than I thought…
Last week, I started a new challenge in order to push my limits beyond their boundaries.
I wanted to beatbox for 5 hours a day for 6 days!!!
Since the beginning of my consistent beatbox workouts in November 2019, my average formal workout time is around 1 hour a day. (rounded 1600 hours for 1650 days). These training sessions don’t count the casual workouts in the car, in events or in the shower.
Throughout my beatbox career, it already happened for me to train for 3 or 4 hours in a day. Therefore never 5 hours a day for a whole week (that’s 30 hours a week - vs my average 29 hours a month - making the weekly workout time 4 times higher!)
Here’s a review of it:
In theory, read below what I planned
• Days 1-7 mornings: 10 min warmup + 50 min on 32nd note click patterns + 60 min Brass sound = 2 hours workout
• Days 1,3,5 afternoons: 60 min “Inward TKs” + 60 min “Holding Workout” + 60 min Mic Tech Workout
• Days 2-4-6: 3 hours for recording Beatbox Tracks
In reality, here’s what happened - time tracking + feeling):
Day 1:
- Tracking: 4 hours 07 beatbox total time.
- Feeling: 3 hours straight in the afternoon is exhausting! Improvements on Inward TKs
DAY 2:
- Tracking: 3 hours 27 beatbox total time. 3 hours 16 mixing time.
- Feeling: Brass itches throat. Had to stop before it damages my throat. +1 track “I just wanna Flow”!! Back palate hurts a bit.
DAY 3:
- Tracking: 3 hours 00 beatbox total time. 1 hour 45 mixing.
- Feeling: Don’t feel like working out this morning, need rest. Back to the workout in the afternoon! Back palate still hurts
DAY 4:
- Tracking: 3 hours 16 beatbox total time. 3 hours 11 mixing.
- Feeling: Back palate hurts a bit - Not enough energy to go for 1 hour Brass - The Track « The Vibe » exhausted my lungs due to the 808 snares
DAY 5:
- Tracking: 0 hours 25 minutes beatbox total time.
- Feeling: Breath difficulties because of 808 snares. I had a severe asthma crisis 2 months ago, so I need to rest + Schedule changes
DAY 6:
- Tracking: 1 hour 49 minutes beatbox total time. 3 hours 10 mixing.
- Feeling: Plans changed, not free on Saturday. Didn’t feel like working out too much. +1 Track “Depths Of Work (VIP)”
There’s a tracking table attached to this post so you can check the details.
What can I conclude from this challenge?
1. It was both a physical (70%) and mental (30%) challenge.
2. The challenge turned into a creative process while the days passed. I recorded 3 tracks, finished the mixing & mastering of two of them. The challenge was definitely beneficial regarding the creative aspect of beatbox.
3. I improved the speed of my 32nd note clicks, Inward TKs. No big changes regarding the power of those though.
4. No big evolution on the Brass sound, but I saved time in the research process for the texture.
5.It was something new to try. I learnt a lot regarding my physical current limits.
6. This challenge also gives me content to share (like this post, or future videos)
The message I want to convey is that you need to change or try new ways of working in your beatbox. People tend to stagnate because they do not renew themselves - as much in the creative process as in the way of training/learning.
That’s how Colaps stood out. That’s how River’ stood out. That’s how FootboxG stood out. That’s how Saro became a loopstation champion.
That’s also how Skrillex is an EDM beast, that’s how Eminem became one of the best rappers of all time, if not the best. That’s how DJ Snake is an excellent DJ!
Try, try, try, and the more you try, the faster you will find your way, and the more you will know what you like and do not like to do.
Thank you for reading me, and see you in new adventures!

Tapping triplets over a 32nd note beat

This student superpower…
and it has none of a secret!
11 years-old experienced beatbox feeling beginner/average. For 12 years of practice, he mainly practiced the same beats, and didn’t feel much evolution since his first years.
Staying in tempo was hard for him, and he didn’t really know what he was doing. His practice consisted mainly of reproducing what he heard.
When we met for lessons, I noticed he was learning fast!
His problem was not that he was bad or that he was stuck because of an intrinsic problem. His problem is that he didn’t have the tools!
He didn’t know where to start to evolve. When we practiced the basics of timing, his own beats on the metronome, everything suddenly became easier for him to understand.
His superpower is that he decided to go for a change, to take accountability in his practice. He has an impressive learning ability! The motivation and work makes everything, no matter your pre-dispositions.
Even if this dude has an excellent learning capacity, let me share the story of another 12 years-old experienced beatboxer, suffering from ADHD, whose learning capacity is very slow!
This student is also feeling average. Meanwhile he can do very complex things, and well structured tracks, performing very basic beats was still tough for him.
He had a similar problem as the previous student, being a lack of understanding and conscientization in his beatbox.
We started from the basic timing beats, and took the time to learn at his own pace.
We’ve done more than 20 sessions together and he’s still here, working between each session.
Even though he feels demotivated sometimes, even though he’s facing doubts, even though he feels disadvantaged because of slow learning, he’s motivated and he’s a DOER!
Another student is an extreme doer. He transposed the discipline he has in sports to beatbox. He created his own training programme and worked out every single day. Sometimes it was harder so he missed a few days, but that’s not a big deal.
After some time, he realized that his training programme was not the best for him, so he updated it, and now he feels comfortable with it.
There’s no secret, no hack. Here are the cheat codes you can apply to elevate your beatbox level :
Renew yourself in your way of practicing. Take an hour or two to think about what you would be doing wrong, or what you can do more efficiently.
Take action and stop overthinking! Just do, see where it leads, and analyze after some time. If there’s no big change, change your way of working out (work more or work differently). If you feel improvements, you’re in the right direction!
If you’re lost in your practice, and don’t know what to do to level up, beatbox or production wise, you can book me for 30 minutes for free at https://calendly.com/nazca-beatbox

1 year ago, I released my first electronic EP, called ''Heat It'', and it was an exciting aventure.
It all started with HEAT IT, the first track of the EP.
In end 2022, I was messing around in my DAW, exploring electronic textures combined with beatbox sounds.
I was having so much fun, that I started making new tracks, and that‘s how ENDLESS, ASPER and AWAY came to life.
RAISE was born from a solo Beatbox Track, that turned into an electronic house music.
NEW ERA saw daylight from French Beatboxers‘ styles mixed with electronic textures (and that‘s mostly your favourite track of the EP).
During the process, I learnt a lot production, mixing, and mastering wise.
After the release of it, I kept doing music, and kept improving in the previously mentioned fields.
It is always fun to take a step back and see how much you improved in a year.
Since then, I released a few Beatbox x EDM remixes
Find the EP here:

Stay tuned! More music soon 🙏
