		Vocal percussion is the art of creating sounds with one's mouth that approximate, imitate, or otherwise serve the same purpose as a percussion instrument, whether in a group of singers, an instrumental ensemble, or solo.
		The vocal percussion used by most college and professional a cappella groups attempts a more complete facsimile of the pop music that these groups primarily perform.
		Vocal percussion is also an integral part of many world music traditions, most notably in the traditions of North India (bols) and South India (solkattu).

		The vocal percussion loops and effects are ripe for dance tracks and would make great additions to any basic rhythm track the Jazz samples are out of this world, moving from haunting, free-form phrasing and scats to group multi-samples that swing and sway with such class they just beg you to use them.
		The vocal percussion loops are slick and I loved the fact that you aren't stuck with vocal loops locked at one tempo, destined to succumb to the chipmunk effect as soon as you change the tempo.
		Vocal Planet is packed with some gorgeous sounding and performing samples - it covers almost everything that I could have hoped for in a library that attempts to squash a worldwide representation of vocal performances and styles onto six CDs.

		Beatboxing, aka vocal percussion, is primarily concerned with the art of creating beats and rhythms using the human mouth.

		Vocal percussion/beatboxing has been used in a-cappella groups for many years, but today it is perhaps mainly associated with hip hop music, often dubbed 'the 5th element of hip hop'.

	REVIEW: BYU Vocal Point - If Rocks Could Sing...
		Vocal percussion is a non-entity on this album; I think that might help with focus on some songs.
		The use of hi hat vocal percussion is effective, but the fact that it cuts in and out is annoying.
		The percussion is well done but he should have been farther from the mike on the high hat -- it gets quieter as the song goes on but is just too loud at first.

		Usually, singing refers to vocal melody only, though vocalist is a similar term which which also encompasses non-melodic sounds and effectively includes anyone using their voice as part of a musical composition, including spoken word and rapping.
		A lead singer (in barbershop music simply called a lead) is one who sings the primary vocals of a song, as opposed to a backup singer who sings backup vocal(s) to a song or harmonies to the lead singer.
		An exception is in five-part gospel a cappella music, where the lead is the highest of the five voices and sings a descant, never the melody which may be in any of the other four parts.

		Vocal Percussion 2: Latin is a book of practical exercises dedicated to such vocalisation — here the focus is the sounds of percussion instruments from the Latin-American musical tradition.
		A vocal imitation of the instrumental sound is then heard, which the learner is required to copy in a call-and-response style.
		Vocal Percussion: Latin is a worthwhile teaching resource, both for developing an understanding of how rhythm can be reproduced orally and for learning about specific group of percussion instruments.

	The Daily Vidette - CD Review: The Nylons (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		This vocal percussion remix includes some all-vocal tracks, some that mix instruments with vocal percussion, and some that retain their original percussion tracks.
		A remix of "Let it Be," originally done by the Beatles, has vocal percussion instead of instruments and it makes for an interesting listen, especially considering it is difficult to tell if the percussion is from one of the group members or instrumental.
		The a cappella is energetic and fun, and the vocal percussion sounds so real, reading the disc booklet is the only way to decipher if it is real or not.
