It is simple to use. All you do is hand tighten your lugs, set the dial on the key to an initial setting, then go around your drum in the standard opposing tightening pattern. Test, and increase the dial setting until you get the sound you want. Once you do achieve the sound I strongly recommend that you write the settings down so you can quickly dial in your preferred tuning the next time you tune your drums or change heads. A few things to consider: tuning involves more than just the batter side heads, which is especially true in the case of snare drums. Unless you are seeking a flat sound, do not tune the resonant heads to the same torque as the batter side...

It helps you get equal tension on the tuning rods. It DOES NOT help you tune your drums. Having equal rod tension doesn't necessarily mean that your drum head will have even tone distribution. It helped me tune a bit faster than doing it by ear. I wish I had purchases the drum dial instead and probably still will. You need a measurement of the head, not the tuning rods. 3 of 3 people found the following review helpful: Worth every penny, This review is from: Evans Torque Key (Electronics) Well, first of all I must say that I'm an experienced drummer, and not tone-deaf. Still, tuning my drums was a long and often frustrating process. It took me a lot of time to get a beautyful, resonant sound from one head, then I moved on to the other head of the same drum, and when I thought it was nice too I played it - just to find out that the heads were out-of-tune with each other... At this point I would start to make adjustments on one head in order to try to fix this, and usually got it right, but not all the times. Then, I would start the whole thing on the next drum... It took me a couple of hours to tune the whole kit - and it's a standard five-piece drumset! Not to mention that it was not rare to have one tom with a nice, full sound, and the one next to it sounding a bit like a plastic trash can... Sounds familiar? Well, I must say that those days are over. Now, with this key I can easily and quickly have the sound I want from each drum. It is... Read more |
