Am I the only one who's also impressed that he did this in one breath.

[julleketbulleke]

for the people who don't know, you're not supposed to listen to the digeridoo sounds, but the whistle tone above it

[noisaidgetlost]

This becomes a lot funnier if you imagine the people that can't hear the high tone listening.

[FiveFootOrenji]

I love how you can hear kirstie and mitch talking

[nutakoblova]

Am I mistaken or he is really doing that on one single breath?

[Marble]

"In the jungle the might jungle..." is what he was singing if you didn't catch that

[sweetirishrose]

He is so talented. He didn't even take a breath!

Also, the reactions while he's doing his thing are THE best

[Frkby]

This is like bagpipes: There is a low drone accompanied by a higher pitch tone.

[DullRio]

For everyone wondering, this is a kind of Tuvan throat singing. It's a practice that's been going on for a long long time. In essence, you surpress the melody and let the higher harmonics and overtones of your voice sound.

[blasterman]

Avi Kaplan is calling the Mothership!

Lol still though, that's really impressive.

[maddywoods]

I've just started being able to hear the whistle over the top and I- what?!?!

[kirstenpioquinto]

I am the guy with his mouth opened at 0:29

[ОлександрІгнатенко-вт]

AVI genius. I already saw this, but never seen such a high quality and, at the same time, ease of execution.

[VisarahLeiden]

This guy and Kevin are the most amazing members of Pentatonix!!!

[qmyers]

This guy changed so much in 8 years. I didn’t recognize him

[fudgeymoss]

man it is SO hard to hear the whistle notes but when I can hear them it sounds so cool!!

[pentatonya]

That's some SERIOUS Lung Capacity!!! Well Done my man!!! Impressive!

[peoplegoboom]

I love how all conversations stopped lol

[georgep]

That one kid in the croud that the camera passes by who isnt claping but holding his fist under his chin because he jaw dropped 😂

[pamscarr]

When your favorite bass is hitting whistle notes in overtone singing and
all of it in one breath!
