==Instrumentation== Soca music is based on a strong rhythmic section that is often recorded using synthesized drum sounds and then sequenced using computers; however, for live shows, the live human drummer emulates the recorded version, often using electronic drums to trigger drum samples. The drum and [[percussion]] are often loud in this genre of music and are sometimes the only instruments to back up the vocal. Soca is indeed defined by its loud, fast percussive beats. [[Synthesizers]] are used often in modern soca and have replaced the once typical [[horn section]] at 'smaller' shows. Electric and bass guitars are typical components of a live soca bands. A [[horn section]] is found occasionally in live soca bands mostly for the 'bigger' [[Concert|shows]]. It usually consists of two [[trumpets]] and a [[trombone]], with saxophones being part of the section from time to time. Other metal instruments may include [[cowbell]] or automobile [[brake drum]]s.
