Gibraltar SC-4248 Drum Tuning Speed Key

• Not particularly faster than a regular drum key
• Rather affordable
• Funnier to use

I bought one as a backup and haven't needed it much yet.
But for precise tuning of toms, I would use a "normal" drum key.

Is easy to tune a drum skin with conventional keys.
But this one simplifies the process, due to the fact that you can increase the tension in a continuous movement.
While normal keys force you to turn half way the tuning peg of the drum, stop, re-rotate the key, stop, etc...with the perill to throw the key to the floor, this design allow you to continuosly rotate the tuning peg seamesly, in a continuous motion.
Hyghly recommendable.

Does exactly what it says and works better than a traditional drum key. Great for changing out heads. Only downside is it's slightly large and doesn't fit as well in a pocket!
