The Psh snare replicated a popular snare used in early 90's hiphop music and became a popular sound amongst beatboxers during that time.
Standard Beatbox Notation (SBN)
{ Psh }
How it's done
It's a combination of two sounds - { P } and { sh }.
- Think of the word "poof" without the "oo"
- Tighten it up until it sounds percussive - i.e. forcing the sound.
- Alternatively, poke your tongue out slightly and build up pressure behind your top lip
- Pull your tongue back in to allow the air to escape, giving a sound very similar to the snare
