Trap Set

The trap set is a versatile drum kit commonly used in many musical genres, consisting of a bass drum, snare drum, hi-hat cymbals, ride and crash cymbals, and often tom-toms. It serves as the rhythmic backbone of a band, providing tempo, dynamics, and various rhythmic textures. The name “trap set” comes from “contraption,” referencing the kit’s combination of different percussion instruments played by a single drummer.

Our Community Band’s trap set players bring the pulse and drive to many performances, blending classic rhythms with occasional creative percussion surprises that keep the music lively and engaging.
