## Description

Evans Torque Drum Key | Evans drum keys support fast, precise tuning, secure grip, portable convenience and reliable adjustments for every kit. : desertcart.co.uk: DIY & Tools

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.
Review: Not all tension rods are standard, as I found out. - Very satisfied with the product thus far. It does exactly what it says it does easily and very accurately as far as I can tell, so all good. Tuned my Gretsch kit up very easily, however, my Ludwig Breakbeat Kit's tension rods are not standard by any means. Sharpen up Ludwig!!! Already replaced some for that very reason. Looks like I will have to replace them all. Not Evans fault I hasten to add. So 5 stars overall. As far as sturdy is concerned, 3 stars at present. I will have to see after a few months how the piece is holding up under fire, like I'm gonna be retuning every week.
