The “outward tongue bass” is a beatbox sound characterised by creating a deep, resonant bass tone using the tongue and pushing the airflow outward. This technique produces a low-frequency, reverberating “bass” sound, adding a powerful and rhythmic foundation to beatbox performances. Beatboxers use the outward tongue bass to create a strong, impactful bassline and contribute to the overall depth and groove of their beatboxing rhythms.
