The dramatic bits (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

parts

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'bits' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'the dramatic' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
'the' could be 't' (the is pronounced as a 't' sound in some dialects) and 't' is found within the answer.
The remaining letters 'pars' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't see.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for parts that I've seen before include "Leaves" , "Components of strap" , "Areas" , "Strap (anag.)" , "bits" .)
