rock trio
Guitar, bass, drums
A rock trio is a rock band with three members, typically consisting of guitar, bass, and drums.
The format forces each musician to cover more sonic territory, often producing a raw, guitar-driven sound: Power trios like Cream and Rush proved three players could fill an arena.
The drummer usually sings or the guitarist handles both roles.
