Three songs

Not the same acapella is 120bpm - Allegro

Bass and tenor vocalists

All male vocalists
Choir has one main singer, the rest do harmonics and do the main tune for the song. With some parts of the song to completely stop and the bass vocalists of the choir say "Jim Jim Jim" This creates a slower feeling to the song. 
Also one member of the choir adds a slight pulse in the right headphone by using his voice to fluctuate. 
Near the end of the song it sounds as if Mezzo-soprano or soprano vocalists come in with the harmonies.

At the 1:36 mark of the song of Put it down by Destroid the Crizzly Remix


Bass line is boosted. Can be heard easily over the other tracks.
Isnt overpowering or strong and isn’t distorted.


After the lyrics “Switch” is heard all instruments are paused for a brief second allowing for the bass to be heard and provide a quick pause in the song before starting back up again at a more upbeat pace.  However this point with the bass line being by itself and the lyrics “Switch” are unique as it isn’t repeated through the rest of the song.  This part of the song is also more upbeat than the rest as it has a more fuller and exciting rhythm compared to the rest of the song. This is probably due to a higher pitched synth which is played longer than before. In the previous drop the high pitched synth has a fast release however at the part where “Switch” is heard the synth is changed. It’s being slightly higher pitched, and has a slower release.
