![]() Rock, Hip Hop, Jazz, R & B, ALL use drum beats. Some instruments, (cough) guitars (cough), have faded from modern music but not drums. (Soft quiet instrumental song with no drums) Don’t believe me? Try to dance without drums.I’ll wait. ![]() (Cymbal crash)ĭrums are ESSENTIAL to making music fun. Ladies and gentlemen today we are here to honor the backbone of music, the keeper of time, the ruler of the rhythm: DRUMS. It's time for you to beat the drum for, well, drums. We flipped a coin and Tommy, you're up first. ![]() Molly: Our debaters have come armed with the coolest facts, history, and arguments. Tommy: I've never been more ready in my entire life. All right, Kyra, you have two points to award this first round, one for the best declaration and one for the best rebuttal. Kyra will award points as we go, but she won't reveal the tally and our winner until the end of the debate. The last round is the final six when both sides have just six words to sway our judge. Round three is the Sneak Attack, a surprise challenge to keep our debaters on their toes. Round Two is the Micro Round, a creative challenge that both debaters have prepared for in advance. Each debater has just 30 seconds to make a rebuttal. Round One is the Declaration of Greatness, when each debater has the floor to present all the coolest things about their side. Our debaters will compete in four rounds of raucous reasoning, and our judge Kyra will grade them on the facts and logic they use to make their case. We're almost ready to get this debate started, but first, let's review the rules of the game. Well, strong opening sentiments all around. Guitars are the dogs of instruments because they're man's best friend. Molly: Rosie, in a single sentence, tell us why guitars are the greatest? Now, let's meet Tommy's fierce opponent here to rep team guitar. Tommy: Okay, drums are the coolest because they combine raw power and expert precision, like if the world's strongest person also had the best handwriting. Molly: Tommy in just one sentence, why are drums clearly the coolest? Let's kick it off with Tommy McNamara who's here to represent team drums. I think it's time to welcome our debaters to the main stage. Well, I'm so glad you are our judge today. Try to make sure I understand what you're saying and I get it because if I don't then who else is supposed to get it? Just keep that in mind and just try to touch me. Kyra: Honestly, for me, the only person that matters right now in this debate, the only opinion is mine. Molly: (laughs) As an experienced debater, what advice do you have for our debaters today? I'll be like, "Okay, then go ask mom." We'll argue and then we'll ask to go ask mom, and then she'll yell at both of us. Kyra: Me and my sister, we both do debate but at home, it's really just silly stuff. Molly: Do you ever get into debates with your family or friends? I like a lot of rap, R&B and stuff like that. Molly: What kind of music is your favorite music to listen to? I used to play piano a couple of years ago, but as of right now, no. Do you consider yourself a musical person? Before we meet the debaters I want to check in with you and see where you stand. Kyra: Hi, I'm Kara and I'm judging today's debate. Here to make some big decisions is our judge Kyra. Team guitar knows how to move us with a melody, but team drums has the beat. This is going to be a tough one for all the music lovers out there. Today we've got a musical matchup to get your toes tapping. Molly: I'm your host, Molly Bloom and you're listening to Smash Boom Best, the show where we take two things, smash them together and ask you to decide which one is best. Kyra: The show is for people with big opinions. Listen to the episode: Website | Apple Podcasts | Spotify | Google PodcastsĪnnouncer: From the brains behind brains on its Smash Boom Best.
