Loved the video! Great fan contributions. Andrew, the shirt with the zipper! Is it functional? Is there a giant pocket on that shirt? Or is it a direct air vent for hot days? I don't know why, but the shirt drew my attention for a good part of the video. 🤣
Sonic Boom is quite possibly the best show on RUclips. Not only is it ridiculously entertaining, it's also inspiring and educational on top of that. Whatever you choose to do next time, it'll be good. I know it.
There definitely should’ve been a jar of mayonnaise on the table. And it should’ve been the first thing rob grabbed after he said “and probably none of them will be instruments”
*Books a premium studio filled with professional engineers and high end instruments.* *Ends up making music with stationery and their phone* Classic Andrew and Rob energy
You two tuning up a ruler is the most on brand thing I've seen and absolutely hilarious 😂 I have no idea how but somehow what comes out of it always sounds so good. And I love the community collab you should definitely do more of it
Reiterating a suggestion I made on the last video: you should make one where you are inflicted with the Beethoven handicap - you can't hear what you're playing! Other than when you are pausing to communicate about an idea, you have to wear noise-canceling headphones that only sound a metronome for synchronization between you two while recording. This would require some serious imagination and musical memory.
@@joashchechet I looked that up now. It's indeed similar but not exact as each wrote his own song rather than all collaborating on one, and these were composed using muted DAWs rather than throughout the playing process of the 60 minute challenge. What's interesting is that Andrew just posted their newest Sonic Boom collaboration and it's about them not being able to speak while writing the song.
Wow, so happy to have my verse feature in an Andrew Huang & Rob Scallon video! Truly honoured to be on a channel that has entertained and taught me so much over the years :)
I got Flip Sampler because of this video. I am so glad it has MIDI. I keep a RadioShack keyboard in my living room so I have something to play while I am watching RUclips. I hooked it up to my phone via one of those MIDI to USB adapters. I had a ton of fun playing around with a sound sampled from that keyboard. Seriously the inclusion of MIDI makes the app really useful to me since I use MIDI all the time in my studio.
In addition to some good clear/clean lyrics and narrative matching lines, was some skill cut and composition recognition. I did not expect 3 verses and an outro.
Flip Sampler is perfect for something like this. I like getting a random object, seeing how many sounds I can make out of it and trying to put something together, super simple to use.
It’s been a horrendous last week for me, thank you so much for this. Sonic Boom never fails to bring a smile to my face and inspire me to create something new. You guys are true inspirations
That was fantastic, but missed opportunity with the discarded balloon! Loved the community additions! Edit: Just downloaded Flip sampler, it is awesome!
I thought it was interesting Rob didn't even think to check if there was anything inside the pencil case. And then completely disregards the balloon later because they already have the vision 😂
I haven't written a song in years, but a couple of days watching you guys create stuff (only found out about Sonic Boom 2 days ago) and I've now written a solid basis for three songs in one night. And I didn't even mean to 😄 You guys are seriously inspiring. And also just about the most entertaining thing on the internet 😊❤
Both Rob and Andrew have the super-human ability to turn anything into a musical instrument, each executing that power in a different way. Combining those powers in a single video is freaking genius, and I need to see things like that more often!!!!!
What a neat idea to have people on social media contribute! This should be a feature of this process, put out a standard song with a break in it, and then next episode cut in some of your favorite contributions from last episode. Too great!
I love this show so much. The whole production design and such is really solid too! Bonus points for having real subtitles instead of just the auto ones!
Can i just say im so grateful for you two. Honestly making the hard times easier for me. Your love and passion for music is so inspiring and beautiful. Never stop creating. Love you both x
Thank you all so much for this wonderful content that brightens my weekend every time. I can only imagine how much work it is to get all of you together to make these, and I just want to let you know how much I really appreciate it, however it is that you manage to pull it off.
i love the attention to detail so much, even down to the intro song changing ever so slightly for every single episode. Netflix needs to pick you guys up!
I like the approach towards creativity. I've got a couple ideas in the same vein. One is to let the music be purely audience driven. So, to get song ideas, you just ask people questions like: what's your favorite drum beat, or bass line, and so on, and use that as the basis for a song. Another idea is in how to gather source material. If you require that the song must be about a story in a local newspaper, for example. Or something that was on the news, that might be a good way to find a source of song ideas that work in the moment. Along the lines of letting the music be audience driven, maybe even soliciting song ideas in the form of simple stories in the comments.
I hadn't gotten excited for saturday morning like this since like 35 years ago, I love you both, I imagine making music with you two and it is inspiring.
i love this series, would love to see rob taking more of a front-seat though, i felt like he was being so polite and didn't want to interfere with andrew's process, lots of love to you both and hope to see more!
Still just floored when that dreaded chicken sound became the absolute best vibing sound in that beat. It really gave a character to it I just never would have thought could happen with that God forsaken toy haha.
I love that the "house band" always has something relevant to say. I assumed all those clips were recorded before they started any of the song challenges, so either they've been saving up the "Rob rules" and "chicken you out" jokes for ages, or they made new clips.
here are some of the lyrics to the viewer-submitted vocals at the end. unfortunately i couldn't get the lyrics of the last part by Ali x. maybe i'll come back to them later but for now i'll have to move on with my life. if you have any idea of what they are, or if i got something wrong in the other parts, please say it in the replies [Jake Lionheart] Step into the challenge, gonna bring the balance May I be candy? You kids need practice Only way you move the plan is with an atlas Don't like the sound? Please, thats just madness Cuz Andrew will sample that sound like a vandal and quickly dismantle the vibes you must handle The clock has been ticking, the countdown was ripping Please dont fail to get it, life has a time limit [Green Woods] The sound of a bird in a cage I put the pin in the page Stick a measure of the man with the burden of pain Burning the stage, whenever he steps up but Still afraid, and is certain to mess up ah Hit the ground, cut the curtain and came to see it's choosen if you don't got nothing to lose Cut down, running out, the bird could fly south to blow the roof off the ruse to make 'em go BOOM [Ali x] Pull out your pencil case, rub your thesaurus starting the race, and i ain't going cautious Tough to say "Que pasa" to stegosaurus While in it to win, I rule over the forfeit I fly high like a bird you will rub a chicken Still waiting for spring to appear You were taught to flip mindlessly while i flick you off just like a wasp that I would like don't wan't coming near [Jake Lionheart] They say, hey, looks like you've seen better days, and i said, yep i stash them in my pencil case Next to utensils that are yellow with tools That's what we use to write W's Don't flip the birdies you flick in the spring Before i go, yo, there's just one more thing If you take a ruler, no take with the pencil, You still couldn't measure Andrew's dope instrumental
Well you can officially add pencil case, ruler and rubber chicken to the list of instruments you can play.....maybe mayonnaise was an instrument all along and we're all just sleeping on it?
fellas im not sponsored but i absolutely love flip sampler. its so fun to use whenever im bored out in the world and want to sample my surroundings. its pretty easy to make a good quality beat. what more could you ask for
Just Brilliant in so many ways .Educational, entertaining , funny and fun..you two are easily my all time FAVORITE You Tube Music creators !! This may be too radical of an idea , but I heard of a Progressive Jazz Pianist many years ago who drew notes on a piece of plywood and threw darts at the board multiple times writing down the notes as he went , then created a melody from the notes. He was the same fellow I believe who tied kitchen utensils. Forks , knives and household items to his piano strings to see what kind of sounds he could get. It would be fun , and challenging to see what you can create using a concept like that.
This could 100% be a show on cable and people of all ages would love it. I'm not saying to devolve into capitalistic shortcuts for quick cash, and it's really not about that So many people can relate no matter the generation and there are still so many people who don't use RUclips or even smartphones. The point is to spread the word! A side effect is great monetization consistently; so it's a win win! I just ask that if you DO go on TV, to invite me lol
I love this; this is exactly the kind of stuff I did as a kid; but never bothered to record. Rulers are great for music; but also apparently you can measure things with them?
This was such a fun challenge!! It would have been great to have captions for the viewer submitted parts, they were pretty hard to understand 😅 Great song!
Let us know what you'd like to see us do on Sonic Boom next! P.S. My music making app Flip Sampler is available on Android and iOS :) flipsampler.com
I can vouch for flip sampler, very good app.
a song where you have to wear oven mitts when you make it
West coast style punk rock with middle eastern instruments would be sick!
I just got Flip Sampler! It’s going to be perfect for my workflow.
Loved the video! Great fan contributions. Andrew, the shirt with the zipper! Is it functional? Is there a giant pocket on that shirt? Or is it a direct air vent for hot days? I don't know why, but the shirt drew my attention for a good part of the video. 🤣

🥰 Thanks for watching!
I agree @Insert_Bland_Name_Here this slaps
I was gonna say the same thing! Best show on YT!
Why isn't this on it's own channel. Sonic boom YT channel
don't forget extremely well produced
There definitely should’ve been a jar of mayonnaise on the table. And it should’ve been the first thing rob grabbed after he said “and probably none of them will be instruments”
Mayo or a bowl of mac n cheese for some wet n gushy tunes 👌
Whoever is the owner of the white sedan, you left your lights on.
Or horse radish
Is mayonnaise an instrument? 🌟
@@andrewdoubleualso, instruments of torture
Wow thanks so much for including my verse! Everyone killed it! I know this is what you do but I’m still amazed you made a song out of a ruler.
Amazing flow, thanks for joining us on this!
the house band really seals this all together. especially with the flipSampler “it’s in the App Store. I don’t even have to walk there”
*Books a premium studio filled with professional engineers and high end instruments.*
*Ends up making music with stationery and their phone*
Classic Andrew and Rob energy
When the engineer is micing up the ruler, you can almost see him questioning his choices
WOW those verses at the end really bring the whole thing together. Great job by those three folks!
You two tuning up a ruler is the most on brand thing I've seen and absolutely hilarious 😂 I have no idea how but somehow what comes out of it always sounds so good. And I love the community collab you should definitely do more of it
Yeah they were so disappointed in it for just a second but then immediately had ideas of how to make it musical.
I had totally forgotten that rulers did that. I was just thinking of lifting one side up and it slapping back down onto the table.
Reiterating a suggestion I made on the last video: you should make one where you are inflicted with the Beethoven handicap - you can't hear what you're playing!
Other than when you are pausing to communicate about an idea, you have to wear noise-canceling headphones that only sound a metronome for synchronization between you two while recording.
This would require some serious imagination and musical memory.
the noise cancelling headphones should only be able to hear eachothers microphone so they can talk to eachother the whole time
They've already done that but not on sonic boom. It was in a Collab between Rob, Andrew, Roomie and Dave from boyinaband
@@joashchechet I looked that up now. It's indeed similar but not exact as each wrote his own song rather than all collaborating on one, and these were composed using muted DAWs rather than throughout the playing process of the 60 minute challenge.
What's interesting is that Andrew just posted their newest Sonic Boom collaboration and it's about them not being able to speak while writing the song.
@@TLguitar besides that, rob also did one with the noise cancelling white noise playing headphones you're talking about but I think that was him alone
Wow, so happy to have my verse feature in an Andrew Huang & Rob Scallon video! Truly honoured to be on a channel that has entertained and taught me so much over the years :)
Andrew and Rob being their own snarky house band has to be the best goof in recent memory 😂
I got Flip Sampler because of this video. I am so glad it has MIDI. I keep a RadioShack keyboard in my living room so I have something to play while I am watching RUclips.

Would that perchance be available on iOS AND Android?.. 🤔
I thought it was interesting Rob didn't even think to check if there was anything inside the pencil case. And then completely disregards the balloon later because they already have the vision 😂
Sonic Boom make Saturdays better ❤
Well, they make every other Saturday better, which means they make the off Saturday worst because there's no Sonic Boom!
10:07 What people that never listen to rap do when they hear it.
the way the red band member says at 4:18 "i'm gonna go to the app store right now. i dont even have to walk there." is top notch
Damn That Viewer Submitted Rap verses were straight firee 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
jesus christ the flow at 10:49

Those singers all killed it! I love how you got them to fit together harmoniously too. Great beat, great song, great show!
What a neat idea to have people on social media contribute! This should be a feature of this process, put out a standard song with a break in it, and then next episode cut in some of your favorite contributions from last episode. Too great!
Came for the music, stayed for the friendship. Never stop with Sonic Boom!!!
Thank you muchly for the subtitles
I love this show so much. The whole production design and such is really solid too! Bonus points for having real subtitles instead of just the auto ones!
Can i just say im so grateful for you two. Honestly making the hard times easier for me. Your love and passion for music is so inspiring and beautiful. Never stop creating. Love you both x
I’d love to see some footage of Rob and Andrew’s reactions to those sick verses
I wonder how the 4 producers challenge would handle this.
4 producers thwap the same ruler.
10:47 this flows so nice! Need that repeat button!
Well done everyone!
Wow, it all came together so well with the community submissions. Great episode.
Thank you all so much for this wonderful content that brightens my weekend every time. I can only imagine how much work it is to get all of you together to make these, and I just want to let you know how much I really appreciate it, however it is that you manage to pull it off.
Dang, your fan guests are awesome!
i love the attention to detail so much, even down to the intro song changing ever so slightly for every single episode. Netflix needs to pick you guys up!
I’m SO jealous I would’ve loved to hop on this open beat challenge.
I like the approach towards creativity. I've got a couple ideas in the same vein.
One is to let the music be purely audience driven. So, to get song ideas, you just ask people questions like: what's your favorite drum beat, or bass line, and so on, and use that as the basis for a song.

Along the lines of letting the music be audience driven, maybe even soliciting song ideas in the form of simple stories in the comments.
"soliciting song ideas" I like that, but it needs a name, something with Pants.
the chosen 3 items are the same every time I watch the video. not random. can’t believe you would do this to us
XD
I hadn't gotten excited for saturday morning like this since like 35 years ago, I love you both, I imagine making music with you two and it is inspiring.
The fan’s verses were so good tho
goddang those verses were way more fire than i was expecting, and the beat too!
i love this series, would love to see rob taking more of a front-seat though, i felt like he was being so polite and didn't want to interfere with andrew's process, lots of love to you both and hope to see more!
Holy shit the verses. Wish they had subtitles tho, I find them a little hard to follow.
Still just floored when that dreaded chicken sound became the absolute best vibing sound in that beat. It really gave a character to it I just never would have thought could happen with that God forsaken toy haha.
Best show on RUclips right now! You guys are legends
I just love this concept so much, Sonic Boom is a highlight of the weeks content
“We got a ruler…”
“Oh but that’s great!”
I love that 😂
They were all spitting but the British fellow's sound was so good
I'm always so happy when I see new content from Andrew, especially Sonic Boom or 4 producers show, just pure fun entertainment and sweet music.
Honestly I was scared of what fowl beat you would make a case for with these items, but I think it measured up!
Ludicrously entertaining, this is my new fave thing from these two!
Props to the wordsmiths at the end, very nicely done
I love that the "house band" always has something relevant to say. I assumed all those clips were recorded before they started any of the song challenges, so either they've been saving up the "Rob rules" and "chicken you out" jokes for ages, or they made new clips.

if you have any idea of what they are, or if i got something wrong in the other parts, please say it in the replies
[Jake Lionheart]
Step into the challenge, gonna bring the balance
May I be candy? You kids need practice
Only way you move the plan is with an atlas
Don't like the sound? Please, thats just madness
Cuz Andrew will sample that sound like a vandal
and quickly dismantle the vibes you must handle
The clock has been ticking, the countdown was ripping
Please dont fail to get it, life has a time limit
[Green Woods]
The sound of a bird in a cage I put the pin in the page
Stick a measure of the man with the burden of pain
Burning the stage, whenever he steps up but
Still afraid, and is certain to mess up ah
Hit the ground, cut the curtain and came to see
it's choosen if you don't got nothing to lose
Cut down, running out, the bird could fly south
to blow the roof off the ruse to make 'em go BOOM
[Ali x]
Pull out your pencil case, rub your thesaurus
starting the race, and i ain't going cautious
Tough to say "Que pasa" to stegosaurus
While in it to win, I rule over the forfeit
I fly high like a bird you will rub a chicken
Still waiting for spring to appear
You were taught to flip mindlessly
while i flick you off just like a wasp that
I would like don't wan't coming near
[Jake Lionheart]
They say, hey, looks like you've seen better days,
and i said, yep i stash them in my pencil case
Next to utensils that are yellow with tools
That's what we use to write W's
Don't flip the birdies you flick in the spring
Before i go, yo, there's just one more thing
If you take a ruler, no take with the pencil,
You still couldn't measure Andrew's dope instrumental
Those rap verses were legit... hot damn! 🔥
7:35 House Band got the puns on LOCK today!
Good song as always.
This is so inspiring, guys. One of the best series online right now
Well you can officially add pencil case, ruler and rubber chicken to the list of instruments you can play.....maybe mayonnaise was an instrument all along and we're all just sleeping on it?
bro that song went hard af
Been really loving this Sonic Boom series. Keep up the great work!
I've always loved recording percussion tracks with random household items like a screwdriver or a teacup full of change etc.
Love the absolutely brutal interactions with the house band xD
SO GOOD, the verse submissions were fantastic with the beat, and I'm eternally blown away by the ability to make music with just about anything. 🤯
fellas im not sponsored but i absolutely love flip sampler. its so fun to use whenever im bored out in the world and want to sample my surroundings. its pretty easy to make a good quality beat. what more could you ask for
all i can say is bruh. every single video is a banger
The lead sounds like some Daniel Johnston stuff at 8:00
We getting out of the junk drawer w/ this one.
Playing the ruler may be the greatest music innovation since Zappa played the bicycle
That worked out really well. Those raps were awesome too
Ginger killed it, cheers!
🧸👌🏼
Oh shit! Flip sampler is FINALLY available for Android? Nice!
Yes since last year actually heh
this is awesome. you guys are awesome. thanks for making this
Loved the audience submissions - great work!!
You guys got se excited when you realized you could use the numbers on the ruler for essentially keeping scale lol ... This video made my day.
Just Brilliant in so many ways .Educational, entertaining , funny and fun..you two are easily my all time FAVORITE You Tube Music creators !! This may be too radical of an idea , but I heard of a Progressive Jazz Pianist many years ago who drew notes on a piece of plywood and threw darts at the board multiple times writing down the notes as he went , then created a melody from the notes.

Wow, very impressive! I'm so hyped for the next Sonic Boom!
No pressure!
Awesome. Love that added FAN content!!!
You guys are the best.
All of you.
Even curlyhairs MacCammopants.
Killed it again, and the user lyrics were awesome!
This was sick, dudes. What a great show
Amazing show on RUclips I love it, you 2 have always had an incredible synergy.
Also props to the lyricists at the end they were awesome!
I love this show so much. You guys bring me joy. c:
This could 100% be a show on cable and people of all ages would love it. I'm not saying to devolve into capitalistic shortcuts for quick cash, and it's really not about that
So many people can relate no matter the generation and there are still so many people who don't use RUclips or even smartphones.
The point is to spread the word! A side effect is great monetization consistently; so it's a win win!
I just ask that if you DO go on TV, to invite me lol
"Rob, you let go of me..." was so heartwarming
If Pink Floyd had had that app, we'd never have gotten Wish You Were Here 🤣
If only they had actually made a full Household Objects LP. How sick would that have been!?
I love sonic boom! Such a great collab with fans.
I can't believe how quickly this episode went by. This was hot.
I love this; this is exactly the kind of stuff I did as a kid; but never bothered to record. Rulers are great for music; but also apparently you can measure things with them?
Okay, those vocals over this beat was lit!!!
my musical skills are like a 0.01 on a 1 to 10 scale, but I still feel super inspired by the stuff you guys do on Sonic Boom
Thank you for the daily content but especially loving these on my work break
Those guys crushed it with the lyrics! Andrew and Rob... yeah, they're cool, too. 😁
It'd be cool to see a series like this where you leave out other crucial instruments like drums or guitar and open it up for submissions!
"Hey, I love the content of your channel and the funny way you've done everything over the years. You guys are awesome to me! Greetings from Germany."
This was such a fun challenge!! It would have been great to have captions for the viewer submitted parts, they were pretty hard to understand 😅 Great song!
the studio setup is looking PRO! like a tv set.. always fun, pz!
I feel like the energy has been crazy for these, I’m not saying I don’t like it but I feel like it’s slightly different than their normal vids
maaan i just love you guys
Sorry, good idea but you did not use a vintage 59 rubber chicken build in the USA. Unlistenable (fun video and Flip rocks!)
Sonic boom is my favourite thing on RUclips for sure! Love it so much
