Q: hi! i'm planning on starting a band, but i need a little help. what are the necessary parts of a band? i know drums and bass are probably really important, along with a chordal instrument. is this true? am i missing anything?
A: sounds like you need a melody in there somewhere. voice? Also it's totally possible to skip the bass and drums, and just go for some percussion, choral instrument (who also has to take care of the bass as well) and voice. but don't take my word for it, just try some things and see if it sucks
