I've written probably near an album's worth of songs on guitar, but I have no band, I'm only a bedroom musician at the moment. But that got me thinking. Just how necessary are drums, actually? I've always cared more for melody and harmony anyway, and you don't hear drums in synth music or orchestral/symphonic stuff or the countless video game and movie soundtracks over the years that have inspired me. So just how necessary are drums to the sound, anyway? Would you listen to hard rock/heavy metal music if it had no drums?
