Traps 8" Tom Add-On Tom Tom
Professional music gear - detailed information and where to buy
This little 8-inch Traps tom is a clever addition for drummers wanting to expand their kit's sonic palette. It's a budget-friendly option for adding a higher-pitched voice, especially good for funk, latin, or anyone wanting a unique rimshot sound. Just be aware it's plastic, so don't expect a vintage wood tone.
