## Description

Evans Torque Key - Drum Key Tuner - Magnetic Drum Tuner - Drum Tuning Key with Tension Setting - Ergonomic Drum Torque Key : desertcart.co.uk: DIY & Tools

Review: Better than run of the mill drum keys, but pricey - Bought this as wanted something a little more substantial than the usual drum keys to go into a drum maintenance kit for drum tech work. This certainly fits the bill, sturdy and magnetic with a longer reach. Being able to spin it with the top part extension can make changing heads quicker. Its expensive compared to others, but as part of a drum servicing kit where you can keep track of where the key, its worth it. Still a place for the cheaper ones, that if you lose you can just reach for another one! Would I buy again? Yes although hopefully I won't need to!
Review: Super little gadget - I've been playing for over 30 years and I'm embarrassed to admit that I've always struggled tuning drums - to the extent that I've avoided doing it unless absolutely necessary and didn't enjoy doing it. I've previously relied on finger tightening, then matching turns on a drum key on opposite lugs and testing the tone around the edge of the drum. However, I just never seemed to get it quite right and would end up tweaking to try and get rid of overtones. This little gadget is so simple to use. Finger tightening first as before, but then turning the key until the plastic section clips away from the main section. You start off with it on a loose setting on the adjustable dial underneath and then tighten further as you tune until you get to the required tension. You do need to ensure your lug screws are able to rotate freely. I fully tuned one of my kits with double heads in less than an hour and tap tested round the edge as I went. They tuned so easily and with none of the overtones I'd occasionally struggled with. It has made me less apprehensive about tuning my drums. Very pleased and it's staying in my drum bag.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great for a quick tune of a kit
*by S***E on 11 May 2021*

Great for a quick tune of a kit. Obviously studio tuning requires something like a Tune-bot, but for rehearsals and small gigs, this will do a standard 5 piece kit in 10 - 15 mins, to a good enough standard. The only downside is that the tension dial is easily moved when resetting the key position, if care is not taken. It took me a while to realise this.
