Crossword Genius

Caught kind of drum in finale (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

ensnared

'caught' is the definition.
(ensnaring is a kind of catching)

'kind of drum in finale' is the wordplay.
'kind of drum' becomes 'snare' (I've seen this in another clue).
'in' is an insertion indicator.
'finale' becomes 'end' (the end of a story or show).
'snare' going into 'end' is 'ENSNARED'.

(Other definitions for ensnared that I've seen before include "Caught in a trap" , "Trapped" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
