I just made this so any novice music artists can learn. Its a 10 second clip, note how to use drums to create a strong beat.

Though I thank you for contributing to this forum, I believe amateur composers could use more of a description than that, hmm? :)

I took a listen, it really isn't all that good... No offense, but you just pasted a few samples behind each other...
Besides I don't see how people can learn anything more from your 10 seconds then they can from listening to like the music from WC3.

I made that, I tuned the sounds for each instrument. They can learn by listening to the sound type and what type of percussion goes well with the sound. In that case I used electrical sounds so I used a deep booming percussion instrument.

If you're inexperienced, add percussion before any other instruments so that you can keep to a beat. If you have much experience, add percussion after as a final touchup.

I guess saying that drums can be used first is good. But it is not something you always do, even further, most people don't. A lot of people start on the main leading melody/instrument first.

Mabye you would wanna write a bit about where to start with composing, instrument wise, then I might add it to the tutorial.

I'd start with brass or wind instruments to get a feel on how to hold notes while keeping harmonical balance.
