I'm in several bands and I compose several different types of music and what point I started to think "maybe I'm good enough now to try progressive rock/jazz-fusion" because that's like one of the hardest genres to compose, but I noticed its a lot easier if the first thing I actually compose is the drums, followed by bass, then piano, then lead guitar, then rhythm guitar, then vocal melody, then write the lyrics, and then add whatever additional instruments I have laying around. So that's a really unconventional way of doing it, usually it starts with piano or rhythm guitar, then the rest, but are there any other bands out there who do it the way I do? I'd imagine Genesis possibly could, since their singer is their drummer. So yeah, are there any other bands (on indie or major labels) that compose this way?
Are there any bands that start the composing process with percussion?
