EVANS introduces the Pull Cord Drum Key: an innovative new accessory that gives drummers the speed of a power drill and the accuracy of a traditional drum key in one pocket-sized tool. Featuring two horizontal key heads connected to a retractable coil spring pull cord, the tool allows players to rapidly remove and apply loosened tension rods , with no drill required. A third, fixed key head is included for standard tuning purposes or adjusting hardware.
With its durable housing and a design rated for hundreds of drumhead changes, the EVANS Pull Cord Drum Key is a highly efficient, easy-to-use time-saver that keeps your hardware safe.
Drummer-Tested, Tech-Approved
“Easily the best drum invention in the last decade,” said Carter McLean, professional drummer and EVANS/ProMark artist.
“In my experience testing this product, the Pull Cord Drum Key offers drill-like features in a pocketable form factor,” added Nate Testa, artist, EVANS/ProMark endorsee, and full-time drum tech. “It’s taken the pressure off my fingers and hands while changing out multiple drumheads throughout the day. This takes the drum key as we know it to another level.”
