Strapped for Crash
Sure, you can place your drum set on a rug or create some makeshift setup to prevent your hi-hat and bass drum from sliding away, but the lightweight Trapstrap conveniently fits in your stick bag, so you’ve always got it on hand. By using your stool as an anchor, the Trapstrap attaches to tension rods (T-rods or keyed rods) or a hi-hat’s leg, and its adjustability ensures a proper fit.
