- Hi Everyone! Today we're going to be taking a look for the first time ever at Home free and their rendition of the Johnny Cash classic Ring of Fire featuring none other than Avi Kaplan, formerly of Pentatonix! I was brought here by none other than the great pentaholics who have been so very welcoming into their circle of musical greatness and I will forever be grateful.
For those of you that don't know, this video will be covering not just a reaction to what I'm watching but I'll be talking about the things that I really enjoy about what the featured artist is doing. This can range from how they have composed their music from player to player if it's a band, or the drummer himself; and what I think they're doing really well technically as well as musically! Of course, there's only so much that can be covered in a short CZcams video so there are bound to be things that I've missed so bear with me! And now, time for the mandatory disclaimer!
NOTE:
This is going to be a reaction and analysis of the song meaning that I will be pausing the song a lot to give my thoughts, reactions and analysis so if you are here to just listen to the song with no meaningful feedback, this is not the video for you. Stay happy and healthy!
Thank you so much for stopping by and watching this video, I hope that you enjoy it!

I always think Avi putting on the cowboy hat at the end was an homage to Tim’s crazy low note hold. Love Avi’s smile
I thought Avi putting on the black hat was a nod to Johnny Cash "The Man In Black"
Avi's voice is butter, Tim's is bourbon. Two great tastes that you might not think taste great together, but oh, do they ever!
Great description of how the two bass voices are different from each other.
I think Avi’s voice is more melted chocolate
Avi is smooth dark chocolate. Tim is part dragon. Simple answer. Geoff Castalucci from Voiceplay is black velvet.
Truth!!!
Adam Rupp has a 7 min solo he does, that you can actually watch him play an invisible set of drums, I can't explain, you have to witness or you won't or can't believe it.
Great reaction. Would love to see a reaction to Adam Rupp's drum solo.
I'd love to see that too
i know im asking the wrong place but does any of you know of a trick to get back into an Instagram account..?
I somehow lost the login password. I would love any tricks you can give me
@Wesson Harrison Instablaster :)
@Thiago Uriel i really appreciate your reply. I got to the site through google and im trying it out atm.
Looks like it's gonna take quite some time so I will reply here later with my results.
@Thiago Uriel It did the trick and I now got access to my account again. I'm so happy!
Thanks so much you saved my account!
Adam Rupp freak of nature beat boxer,
Tim Foust super low bass
Austin Brown high tenor
Rob Lundquist tenor
Chris Rupp baratone and founder of Home Free left in 2016 and Adam Chance took his place goes by Chance.
Man Of Constant Sorrow, Blue Ain't Your Color, Can't Stop The Feeling, Thinking Out Loud/Let's Get It On Folsom Prison Blues, American Pie, I could just keep going but this is a good place to start
Tim has 5 octave range!!
Mayday after you have done at least 5 songs to get your mind blown.
Just an FYI on the Beatboxer of Home Free, Adam "The Freak of Nature" Rupp ... he was twice voted best All-Around Beatboxer by his peers at the World Beatboxing Competition.
Okay, still interested where to find this info! Please let me know!
I have heard this only in the comments, but cannot find anything on the internet!
@@tarjaikola Not sure where you looked-there are many articles about Adam Rupp’s beatboxing prowess.
Google is our friend with this…
www.thetoptens.com/best-beatboxers/
@@drieuxkoeppel8152 That is a fan voting site. You don’t have to be Adam’s peer AKA a beatboxer to vote.
Avi was classically trained in bass, which really focuses on smoothness. Tim has been pretty much focused on country singing and that slightly raspy style bass works really well in country music.
It seems to work well in EVERYTHING they do.
And...another one falls down the rabbit hole...
Here guys are certainly PROS. Their harmonies are always so darned Tight...you could get a set of paper between them !!!!! Just incredible!!!
Couldn’t get a sheet of paper...ooops !
Greetings from a danish fry / new sub , just a friendly warning when you say you like our guys , the fries will come running and we are a very loyal fan group , BTW Tim Foust --MR. SUPERBASS is also from Texas
If you want harmonies, How Great thou Art is breathtaking. If you want more country twang and interesting sounds look at Man of Constant Sorrow. For a lot of laughs, the Butts remix, countrified pop medley, etc.etc. There really isn't a bad song. They even covered End of the Road originally by Boys II Men, sang with Kenny Rogers, and with the Oakridge Boys, and just recorded American Pie with Don Maclean for the fiftieth anniversary of that song.
I agree with every one of these suggestions.
You missed one!! For the absolute best harmonies EVER, listen to Helplessly Hoping. You're welcome.
Helplessly Hoping is perfect for their harmonies.
They do another Cash song Folsom Prison Blues also check out Man of Constant Sorrow. Adam Rupp is great on both.
This is about 8 years old now....when Chance replaced Chris in 2016 their sound got so much better !!
Chris is a great producer. He arranged most of their stuff. But I just think Adam chance really filled out the sound and gave Tim more time to shine in lead. And I think he fits the goofy group vibe a little better.
Avi's real love IS folk, which is super evident by his solo music haha! But yes, his classical bass training and singing in a pop band for years and years will definitely have developed his tone in certain directions through the years.
As Rachel said, you would really get a kick our of one of Adam's solo performances in their live shows. Here's one from 2019: czcams.com/video/YIwBjIZhug0/video.html
If you are interested in beat box percussion you need to watch Man of Constant Sorrows. Home Free sings a wide range of genres with excellence which is one of the reasons I enjoy their music. Being a Home Fry (fan) is like being part of a family with members living all over the world yet right next door.
thank you for your reaction. My suggestions are: Man of constant Sorry, Country Roads, Everybody Walkin this Land & End of the Road.
When you watch butt's remix plan on watching it twice.. the first time you'll be too busy laughing to truly hear the awesomeness of the song.
The triad of acapella, Pentatonix, Home Free, and Voiceplay each has their own niche in the community. Pentatonix is mostly pop music, Home Free is, obviously, country, and Voiceplay is theatrical. They go from minimal props to full production. There's something for everyone or, if you are a big acapella fan you watch them all. 😄
Adam Rupp is a real drummer, which has been said, contributes a lot to his impeccable timing and ultra-realistic sounds.
When a Man Loves A Woman is a new one by Home Free
I promise that once you listen to Home Free a few times you won't miss instruments for even a minute. It doesn't hurt that they have one of the best beat boxers in the world.
Four words…”Country Fried Pop Medley “!
I'll counter with 2 words... Butts Medley🤣
you're spot on regarding to the different "sound". Avi studied opera for several years and then performed pop although his real love is folk. One of the distinctive sounds of country is that "twang", so noting that "rounder" sound....very valid.
Avi and Geoff castelluci are both amazing and classically trained true basso-profundos. Tim is just a singing dragon...lol
I second Douglas's recommendation. Also, Avi shows up again in Home Free's "Champagne Taste on a Beer Budget". Welcome to the Home Fry zone.
Mrs. Brett
They filmed that video in the same few days as this one. He was hanging out so they had him cameo but he doesn't sing in that track.
I hope you will check out more Home Free. They are quite fantastic.
First there are three things you need right away....headphones....headphones....headphones...................did I mention headphones?.....LOL.....really you need them to hear EVERYTHING....
avi was heading to the poor house heading to jail...dam i cant get that song out of my head
You are the ONLY reaction that I have ever seen notice or mention the hat change for Avi. I love that little detail and ty for actually acknowledging it.
The two the best bass's in the business.
Great reaction.
Most reactors I've seen do this one, miss the hat change (they're too blown away by Tim's last note).
Voiceplay is a definite must. Their beatboxer is also amazing, as is their bass.
So is Kevin in Pentatonix. These 3 guys are very innovative and have huge "drum kits" as well as a plethora of other sounds and effects they do.
I just subscribed!!
Welcome to HOME FREE
HOME FREE is a county A Capella band that does more than country. Tim Foust, the bass, Adam Rupp, the beatboxer, Adam Chance (Chance) is the baritone/bass, since 2016, he took over for Chris Rupp (one of the founders of the group), Rob Lundquist, tenor and Austin Browm high tenor make up the voices of angels. PLEASE listen to more.. If I know my Home Free family well, they have already given you suggestions of music. LOL Thanks for the reaction
They are unreal. Clean and smooth
They call Adam...”A Freak of Nature”.....he’s pretty incredible 🙃‼️🙃. I’ve been almost bout 10’ in front of him at. Concert...&, Oh, Hell !!!!!! It AWESOME !!!!
Adam has also won 2 world championships on his Beat Boxing!
@@joanwharff6483 Where did you get that info? To my knowledge he has competed only locally in Midwest, never internationally.
@@tarjaikola One of those rumors that has been repeated so often it's accepted as gospel. He's full time with Home Free - no idea when he would even have time to go do competitions! I think he would do well, but there's no evidence I can find of him competing. I even found him going head to head with a drummer in a video about 13 years ago, but no competition footage. He's good enough that I believe if he had entered, there would be video.
@@dogtrainerjen I’m replying to every comment I see about this. It is so frustrating.
I’ve talked with Adam and he said he has no interest in competing or in competitions, and that he is more interested in the musicianship rather than just the speed or gimmicks. He still adores Beardyman and Reeps1, mainly b/c of their great musical talent.
@@tarjaikola I figured that was the case! Glad to have it confirmed, so thank you! 👍😃
great reaction. i think you would really like their cover of Man of Constant Sorrow. it really showcases their talents
I heard that Adam swallowed a drum kit when he was 5....
Folsom Prison Blues. Adam Rupp does a racking of a shotgun that is really cool.
I believe he said he wound up using an actual shotgun for that one. He said he couldn't get it realistic enough vocally.
I am firmly convinced that Adam Rupp (the Human Drum Kit) actually swallowed a drum kit when he was a kid. I really encourage you to investigate the Home Free catalog, I promise your will find that they only get better. Whenever they cover a song, in my mind they end up owning it. I appreciate your reaction and analysis.
Love Home Free. Check out their cover of "When A Man Loves A Woman". Amazing drum beats by Adam Rupp and a absolutely stunning vocal lead by Austin Brown.
You can't go wrong with any Home Free video.
Home Free is amazing. Adam Rupp has a drum solo on CZcams and he’s amazing. Three of the guys in HF are from the south, Tim, the bass is from Texas. Chance, the newest member is from Alabama and Austin, the high tenor is from Georgia. Founder Adam Rupp the beatboxer and Rob, tenor with beard and glasses are from Minnesota. They are country but sing all genres of music gospel, pop, R & B, country. They were on the NBC show the Sing Off and won in 2013 the year after Pentatonix won. They are friends and Avi is featured here and shows up in another HF video. The boys like to have fun so they have some funny videos too. Try How Great Thou Art, Man of Constant Sorrow, Seven Bridges Road, Country Roads to hear great harmonies.
Home Free's Bass, Tim Foust is from Port Arthur, Tx...it is also where they recorded Man of Constant Sorrow.
Must listen Home Free “Folsom Prison Blues”, “Do You Hear What I Hear”, “Man of Constant Sorrow” Mayday”, “Butts Medley” or Adam Rupp’s solos.
This is an older video...so you haven't seen anything yet....they are even much better now! Check out their cover of In The Blood...Meet In The Middle or Man Of Constant Sorrow! I just subbed for more Home Free!
You got the change of hats correct. He was comically tipping his hat to Country music. Tim is frim Texas and doesn't really drop his twang unless the song absolutely demands it. Austin Brown, the high tenor from rural Georgia also leans into his twang unless the song demands a different style like Bring Him Home from Les Miserables.
Tim Foust of Home Free can sing all the way down to B0 and actually helped Avi develop better low techniques.
Tim worked with Geoff too in the past! They're all insanely talented in their own right though! Totally different sound to each of them! ❤
Not *better* low techniques, but new ones
Tim, the bass, is a Texas boy, too, as I am. Cant imagine the number of chicks he could attract with a voice like that! Adam, the beatboxer, is awesome good, and essential to the heartbeat of the group.
Adam Rupp is a force of nature. He's a beast when it comes to beat boxing. Check out his drum solo videos because they are jaw dropping.
Welcome to the a cappella community! You’ve already experienced 2/3 of the bass singer trifecta that we all seem to gravitate to: Avi Kaplan (formerly Pentatonix), Tim Foust (Home Free), and Geoff Castellucci (Voiceplay) 😊🎤🎶
Avi hardly ever doesn't wear a beanie. At the end of the song, Avi puts on a cowboy hat in homage to Tim's low note. Love the respect they have for one another.
You would really enjoy the Drum Solo of Adam Rupp, the beat boxer
Loved your reaction! Pick any HomeFree song to react to and you will not be disappointed. Please check out their cover of Boys to Men's song End of the Road to hear them singing a different genre. They are well rounded in other genres too. So much talent. Homefree's bass guy Tim Foust has a 5 octave range. You will discover as you take your HomeFree journey. Thank you for your reaction! New sub. Found you because of this reaction!
That was a wonderful reaction.. I have just found you.. and your voice is so wonderfully soothing! Home Free is supposedly a "country acapella group", but HF truly sings any and all genres. Adam Rupp the beatboxer is just mind boggling. We have seen them live several times in different venues and the energy and love in the air is just jaw dropping.. LOVE this group. Tim Foust, the super bass.. (usually) is originally from Texas, too. Adam Chance the baritone/bass is from the South originally, but now in LA, Austin. the high tenor is from Georgia now in Nashville (as is Tim) Rob the beard/glasses and the crazy beatboxer are in Minnesota. For more beatboxing.and wonderful harmonies.. check out Country Fried Medley .. its an oldie but a great one.. and of course Elvira with the Oak Ridge Boys.. Just close your eyes and pick one.. they are all awesome. New Sub here. thank you for doing these videos.. Keep the Home Free stuff coming! Stay safe!
Loved your reaction but I can’t find more Home Free reactions!! They have a lot of fans. Put those reactions out there and you’ll have plenty of new followers. Wish you success on your channel.
You should check out Adam Rupp's Drum Solo their beatboxer. The oldest one is where he's in a red plaid shirt. He's a 2X world champion beatboxer voted as such by other beatboxers and judges in competitions in Europe.
No need to apologize..... just enjoy, enjoy, enjoy......
I truly loved your reaction and analysis. Please do more of Home Free if you dare!😉
Also, as a drummer yourself, do check out the 'Drum Solo' performed by Adam Rupp, who is best described as a 'Freak of Nature!'
I feel the difference between Avi Kaplan and Tim Foust is that Avi was trained as an operatic basso profundo (sp?). Tim has had voice lessons, I believe, but that is different than opera training. I believe that accounts for the difference in tone. They are both AMAZING!!!
And Tim helped both Avi Kaplan and Geoff Castellucci with reaching their sub-harmonic register!
New subscriber here, found you through Home Free !! Really loved your reaction to their music, your analysis was great and I enjoyed your reaction to them alot. They are my favorite group and I find myself listening to others less and less. Why not listen to the BEST !! I am sure I will enjoy your journey into Home Free music.
New sub here... love Home Free! Can't wait for more!
Great reaction. I think you will have a real appreciation for their cover of DO YOU HEAR WHAT I HEAR. It was arranged by the beatboxer and I love all the little intricacies blended together. Sometimes I end up listening to it up to ten times, before I'm able to move on. I really hope that all the fans treat you well. We are quite greedy for reactions, but as long as you post regularly we'll be happy. The list of choices we'll be supplying you with is on the plentiful side and all of them are favourites. I have a 123 on my list and that does not include their side projects. They do country, they do gospel. They do covers, they do originals. They do ballads and they do funny really well. They love to work with the original artists of the songs they cover. Kenny Rogers, The Oak Ridge Boys, Alabama, Don McLean, etc. Also we must point out that they really stepped up and delivered during this quarantine. Their work, starting with Quarantine, has just been so good. Must warn you, they do layer some of their recordings, but rarely use a repeater in their live shows. Let's have some fun. Thank you
You should really react to their Butts Remix and The End of the Road
Great reaction, Josh
As Rachel says Adam Rupp's drum solo s are amazing. the GA one in 2018 is my favorite. They do drum solos in their shows to prove that it is vocal.
Would love to see you react to "Adam Rupp drum solo" performance.
Man of Constant Sorrow
Voctave and Voiceplay are two other a cappella groups you should check out.
My aca-faves
Pentatonix- more dance/ pop
Home free- more country and goofy
Voice play- more Disney/ theatrical and playful
Them live is amazing Home Free - Country Rebel HQ Session - CZcams
Home Free are amazing and so versatile! Home Fries love to see new people discover our guys!❤️
I really liked how you broke the song down. I really hope when I search that you continued to review Home Free.
Avi sure looks good in a cowboy hat. And Tim always looks good. Let's face it. They all look good. LOL
Great Reaction! Just subscribed hoping to watch your journey to the wonderful rabitt hole of home free. Although they are "country" a cappella they cover many different genres. I suggest the following songs to see what all they can do : End of the Road (Boyz II Men), Thinking Out Loud/ Lets Get It On Mashup (Ed Sheeran/Marvin Gaye), Helplessly hoping (5 part harmony bliss Crosby, Stills &Nash), Dive Bar Saints (original), Catch me if you can (original) and a recent Adam Rupp drum solo ( there are several out there choose a more recent one, many react to older one but he just keeps getting better)
Marg Fried has a good list to start with, American Pie and Butts medley
the reason the sound different is because of how they sing. watch Avi as he is singing his mouth has more of an O formation. while when Tim sings his mouth opens up more and he drops his lower jaw back. which allows for the "twang". When Tim sings with his mouth in the O shape it is lot smoother. but it is more natura; for the country twang to be there. But no matter what he sounds terrific. As does Avi, But Home Free will always be my fave. as long as i'm not listening to a track of there's
besides checking out Adam Rupp’s drum solo video - listen to their new-ish track of Mary Did You Know for some unique beatboxing sounds. Also, FYI Avi trained in school as an opera singer.
For the most impressive attacks & releases, etc., watch their Helplessly Hoping video. It will blow your mind.

I'm not someone who follows Home Free, so I don't really know their backgrounds/training. However, I do know Avi trained in classical/opera singing prior to PTX, and that whole genre I feel they focus on things like diction and projection, and producing that fuller sound, so perhaps that may be what you're picking up on.
I don't know if you've seen it yet, because I'm starting at your oldes vids & working forward, but, for a good example of Avi showing that off is when PTX perform Aha! Live they always do a short classical interlude 4 part harmony of Christ's Factus Est (I believe it was originally added in so that Kevin could take his cello off stage before Aha! starts), mostly where Avi takes the transition from one song to the next is where he shines. That said, the whole performance is incredible for the juxtaposition of the bass & high, which I think I've heard one of them said they were going for (especially after Mitch does his count in mid way through). The most impressive live version of Aha! in general, is considered the Singapore, Star Vista one (because Mitch just _goes off_ ), however, keep in mind that Avi had kinda damaged the speakers with his prior bass ridiculousness, and also it's recorded on a cell phone, so it's not the cleanest version of either interlude or song, but it's just too good a performance in general to not see.
New Sub, Home Fry
For more Bass, you need to add in Geoff Castalucci from Voice Play. He has released a few solo things recently. Have a listen to Sixteen Tons.
React to Adam Rupp drum solo. Red flannel shirt is an older one but I think it’s on of his best. Then any of the ones since he has only gotten better.
Try the ‘Drum Solo’ Adam Rupp did live on stage at one of Home Free’s concerts. I highly recommend it.
- BG
Tim Foust bass can reach G1 and was inducted into the Music Hall of Fame last year.
Tim has a five octave range.
You should hear Adam’s drum solo. It’s AWESOME!
You can also listen to Voice Play with Geoff castelouchi.
Oh you poor man, you have just open a very deep Rabbit Hole. Welcome to the growing group known as Home Fries.
Home Free can and does cover every type of music, country, pop, do whop, soul, comedy, romance.
Man of Constant Sorrow.
When a Man Loves a Woman.
Champaign on a Beer Budget
Butts Remake.
How Great Thou Art.
Catch Me If You Can.
if you want to hear the range of what Homefree can do then listen to "Man of constant sorrow" you enjoy.
i've just noticed your channel, having seen your reaction to Time, by Pink Floyd. since you are a drummer, i think you should react to an early live performance, by them, at Pompeii, in 1971. the track is Echoes. it's 23 minutes long, so it comes in 2 parts. the drumming on that is fabulous. probably his best performance. the whole piece is composed in much the same way as a classical piece, except it's psychedelic rock. many fans [including me] say it's their favourite song of theirs. i'm sure you'll love the whole thing.
Just subscribed. Please keep doing a capella reactions like home free, PTX and voiceplay.
Welcome to us home fries (that's how we fans call us).
As already suggested, please do a reaction to Adam Rupp drum solo 😊
Because you've already gotten so many suggestions, I'll save mine for later. Just one thing, please wait for the reaction to Mayday until you know all the members and their vocal range, then it's even more stunning.
Keep going, keep save 😉
❤❤
❤
The "Drum Machine" is named Adam Rupp. Try reacting to his "Drum Solo". Preferably the latest one...
I don't see that you have this "behind the scenes" by former band member Chris Rupp. It explains a bit including the hat 🙂Avi and Homefree, particularly Avi and Tim as bass singers, were friends. In fact Tim, Austin and Avi all live in the Nashville area today. Avi was classically trained in opera and choral singing and his timbre is quite appealing to begin with, to hear that in a different style of music try both Avi in "Black is the Color of My True Love's Hair" and Tim in "Misty Mountains" with Peter Hollens.

Great reaction! PLEASE listen to Adam Rupp Acapella drum solo from 5-7 yrs ago; you will be amazed!
You need to listen to Adam' talent ib Home Free. Man of Constant Sorrow
Adam Rupp is a human drum kit.
Have you done a review to Def Leppard yet? Would love to see your review to their song "Pour Some Sugar On Me"
You need to listen with headphones, not earbuds. Richer sounds.
I think you should react to Man of constant sorrow.
