In various musical and subcultural circles, slang words for a drum set include "the skins" (referring to animal hide drumheads traditionally used), "the traps" (short for contraptions, a vintage term for percussion hardware), "the kit," or "the tubs." In modern urban gun culture slang, a "drum" refers specifically to a circular, high-capacity ammunition magazine attached to a firearm. The appropriate slang word depends entirely on whether musicians or firearms are being discussed in conversation.
