Yeah, everyone says piano and I agree, even though I don't play piano. What ever I could say for it has already been said.
However, I think guitar is almost as, if not as important for any music that uses one. Guitar chords are phrased so differently, pop/rock, jazz, or otherwise (except for classical), and no one has wide enough fingers to play them on the piano. So to answer what you're really asking, which is "will piano and drums teach me the ropes?" I'd say also learn at least the first few basic guitar chords. Just the first few, though. Piano should cover you.
