It really depends on the part, the mood, and how the instruments are being played. Overall though, drums tend to have the ability to overpower the other instruments if not played carefully. They also often help set the rhythm for the rest of the orchestra, and can set the scene for dramatic moments.

There are only several pieces that require guitar (and/or mandolin), but those are only for one or several movements inside a piece and not for the entire duration of the work.

These distinctive attributes make the piano a versatile and expressive instrument unmatched by others.
