snares
Percussion kit rattlers
Snares are traps for catching animals, typically made of a loop that tightens around prey.
The word extends to anything that entraps: the snares of addiction, caught in bureaucratic snares.
To snare is to catch in such a trap, literally or figuratively: She snared the lead role.
A snare drum has wires stretched across its bottom head that rattle when struck, giving the drum its distinctive buzzing sound.
