It really depends. What you suggest is good for a song/tune that's written already, but suppose you want to write your own song to reel time (for convenience). Putting a drum or base every 1/2 a bar is not a bad idea, as it provides a rythm for which to lay down your actual notes.
No. Drums aren't just a static background, they should interact with the main tune. If you do the drums first then you have to build the tune around them, and that's stupid.
