Crossword Genius

Catch in a drum? (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

snare

This clue is a double definition.

'catch' is the first definition.
(snaring is a kind of catching)

'a drum?' is the second definition.
(I know that snare is a type of drum)

'in' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for snare that I've seen before include "part of a musician's kit" , "Wire on drum; trap" , "Noosed trap" , "Animal trap" , "Entrap" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph and The Globe and Mail.
