What instruments are used in rock 'n' roll?

Answer 1

The three most common instruments in a rock band are the guitar, the bass (usually a Bass Guitar), and drum kit. Keyboards, especially the Hammond Organ and piano, were also frequently used by rock bands.

Answer 2

Any instrument can be used in Rock and Roll music. Typically, a Rock and Roll band will include Drums, Bass Guitar, Guitar and a Vocalist. In the "Power Trio" arrangement, this is accomplished with three persons, with one doubling Vocals with another instrument.

The range of instruments, though, can include Piano (and other keyboards) any sort of horn, woodwinds, hammered instruments (such as xylophones and vibraphones), Accordion, any sort of percussion, mandolin, banjo, harmonica, fiddle or violin, cello, viola, or any other sort of instrument.

Answer 3

The first two important ones are guitar and drums, and bands like the Black Keys and the White Stripes only have guitarists (Jack White also plays piano and other instruments) and drums. To get a really good rock sound ( not to say the aforementioned bands aren't good), a bassist is absolutely essential. Jack Bruce of Cream, Paul McCartney of The Beatles, John Paul Jones of Led Zeppelin, Rick Danko of the Band, Paul Simonon of the Clash. The list of amazing bass players goes on and on. Piano and Keyboards are sometimes used. Some great piano players are Little Richard, Elton John, and Ray Manzarek of the Doors. In the 60's, the piano sound turned more electric, as the use of electric keyboard became more widespread. This is evident in the music of the Doors, Steppenwolf, Deep Purple, and others. Saxophones, trumpets, and trombones are used in many types of rock, to give a more classic 50's sound, or in ska music as a main sound. Orchestras are sometimes used with rock bands, but not very often. Pretty much any instrument can be used for rock, as long as it.. well... rocks
