Chord Progression Composition

If I want to create a chord progression e.g. I -> iii -> IV does this affect all instruments?

E.g. I have

  • Drumkit
  • Bassline
  • Pads
  • Melody

1.) Do I need to tune all lines e.g. the drums? Or does this only affect the bass line because it has the lowest notes (&the lowest note defines the chord)?

2.) Should the other lines start with the root key of that chord or can it use any of the chord's notes and still be harmonic? I know that you are not 100% limited to the chords notes e.g. if you want to create tension. But does it sound harmonic?
