1 - that's like saying a dirt bike is not a motorized vehicle because it's not a car.
2 - that's not true. period. i had one drummer tune the toms so their tones were harmonious with each string on my guitar. drum skins stretch and get worn and need to be readjusted at times. this statement alone should have been enough to completely discredit your co-worker in your debate.
3 - if 2 is not true and the drums CAN be tuned to specific tones then they can in turn play a melody.
