Evans Torque Key - Drum Key Tuner - Magnetic Drum Tuner - Drum Tuning Key with Tension Setting - Ergonomic Drum Torque Key

Little "torque wrench" is a must have for easy and even tuning. Great when you don't have experience tuning drums.

I bought this product even though there were several mixed reviews about it. I am glad I did. I am a beginner and have only tuned my kit by ear once before. I used this key for the first time 2 days ago as I bought a second bass and floor tom to add to my kit. I had to assemble my new drums when they arrived and tune them. There are many instructional videos on youtube on how to use this key but, in my opinion, not very good and not much help to me. The instructions that came with this torque key was not very clear either. To use this properly, you should turn the dial counter-clockwise all the way to zero until it stops (this was not mentioned in the product instructions or any of the instructional videos I've seen). Then, you can set the tension you want and start tuning your drums in the star pattern as usual. Once the tension is reached, the key will click and you can move on to the other lugs. Of course, you should only turn each lug 1/4 at a time and not turn it all at once until you hear the click. For me, I still fine tune my drums by listening after all the lugs have reached the same tension. I should mention that the dial on the key can go around twice. This means that if you want to set your tension at, say 12, you would turn the dial clockwise passed zero and set it to 2. At least, this is how I used this key and it seems to work for me as my drums sound pretty good. I think of this key as just a tool to help you tune your drums quicker with not much guess work, especially, if you're not good at tuning by ear. It was well worth what I paid for.

Concept is good. The small print is hard to see. Sometimes it’s hard to remove the key due to the strong magnet. It’s a good tool for tuning drums. It works well. I use it all the time.

It really practical and functional tool for your drums, easy to use and practice to have with you throughout your concerts

Make drum tuning SOOOO much easier. Just have write down the setting for each drum to remember. But yes I love it.

Comparing to the 2 other popular tuners at twice the money, this is a steal. Easy and fast to operate and right in tune.

Awesome tool

Fast and easy way to get every lug on the drum to the same torque. Depending on the trueness of the drum, hoop, and head I have had great luck with this also being nearly in-tune, making getting in-tune trivial compared to guessing at the tension by-hand before moving to the ear-checks for each lug. The numbers/measurements are a bit arbitrary though. You can't set "1.25 ft/lb of torque" for example, you just set it to "4" and whatever ft/lb that happens to be, that's what you get... but at least all lugs are at the same starting point for tuning! (Note: to get good results you still need to add tension to the head evenly, doing a star-pattern as you slowly bring up the tension. This tool just lets you bring each lug to a specific torque at the end. You can't skip the beginning though, the head material should be stretched evenly and slowly as you get it seated on the bearing edge before finally setting the tension on each lug with this tool.)

Je suis très content de cette clé avec laquelle je réalise de sérieux gains de temps lors des phases de réglage. Recommandé.

Excelente para afinação de bateria. Aplica mesmo torque em todos os parafusos.

As a person who loves doing minimal work to get things done. This is much better than the DrumDial. It may not be the BEST way to tune drums, but it is much faster and easier to do that the Drum Dial. I heard on a forum that you only use this to torque down your lugs, not to loosen them too. Keep that in mind. Cheers

Bra kvalité.

It's a nice tool to use for my drum kids.
