Drums First Vs Melody First

[producerspot]

Hi guys.
Do you start with the drums or the melodic line when starting a new project?

Always drums first.

 

[bilibug]

Basic drum track for tempo first. Tweak or replace later.

 

[Sustainerplayer]

Mostly drums first.

I can’t even imagine starting a track with drums first. Melody ftw.

Melody for me. I map percussion too well in my head to need to lay em down first.
