The drums are most important in a band, in them lie most of the rhythm and tempo that determine the groundwork for a piece of music.

In most rock bands, vocals are the center of attention, but I still stand to say drums come before, by building a basis for the vocals to tread on.

Although drums aren't used in every genre as a means of keeping a beat, I'd say it's true for the majority of music.
