THIS!
I play guitar and I'll never thing of myself as better than the drummer.
I will think of myself as smarter than him tho.
And while the joke of "3 musicians and a drummer enters a bar" is not entirely correct, I will NEVER stop doing it!
Its like calling the nerd kid of the class stupid, makes no sense but still fun.
(I am indeed the nerd of the class.)

I'm not sure if you can compare them, considering their uses when it comes to the creation of music.

I'll choose drums, I suppose. You can replace a guitar with a second bass and still make a decent songs. Good luck, without percussion.

Guitars, hands down.

Q: What do you call a guy who hangs out with a group of musicians?

A: A DRUMMER! HAH!

Drums drums drums. They sound so awesome. I'm ashamed of myself because I don't practice enough and I probaply will never be a great drummer. :D

I always prefered: What do you get when you cross a drummer with a roadie? A roadie that can count to 4.

Exactly. There is no one superior instrument or sound, or whatever... Its down to preference, and the way in which the sound is used, applied, listened to etc...

Does this qualify as a VS thread?

OT: I play guitar.... cause my neighbor already hates the kid on the other side of her house, because he plays drums.

I've long maintained that the drums are the most important instrument in the band. You can't have a good band without a good drummer, but there are plenty of highly popular bands with shitty guitarists.

Out of general Curiosity I was wondering which is the better, Guitar Or Drums
Okay, first of all, you cannot compare a guitar and drums to each other. They are under different categories, and do not have much similarities. It's nearly like comparing a piano to say a computer, or a pair of pants to a dog.
Never compare an instrument to each other, please.
Guitars can play chords and a lot more of notes, while drums can carry the rhythm more effectively than a guitar. But it's not worth the comparison.

Also, VS threads are forbidden here.

They're so different, you really can't compare the two instruments. They serve completely different purposes, and without either, some music just wouldn't sound good.

Besides, bass is better than both, so there's no real issue here.

Well, guitar can carry a song more than drums.

That said, In-a-gadda-da-vidda wouldn't be the same without the amazing drum solo.

They go together. They live in perfect harmony.
Speaking of musician jokes, here's one from Nicko of Iron Maiden.
So a guy goes to the hospital to get his brain scanned and suddenly goes unconscious. He wakes up in a hospital room and the doctor is there. The doctor says, "Mr. Erickson, I have some good news and some bad news, which would you like to hear first." The guy thinks for a minute and says, "Well, let's hear the bad news." "Well, during your brain scan we discovered a massive tumor and had to perform an emergency lobotomy. We removed 7/8ths of your brain." The guy is stunned, but thinks for a second and asks "well then, what's the good news?" And the doctor replies "We bought you a bass guitar."
