Tune your snare the way you like it; test your Evans Torque Key to get a reading; write it on your head and it makes tune-ups a breeze.
Also keep it handy during sessions for quick re-tunes in case things slip a little or you want to dial up or down a little.
One of the little inventions that make it easier for players.

Not a perfect pitch tool but works well for the price. I am pleased.

this product works for me. i dont like to spend hours tuning the drum so i get this.it doesnt get them to be all the same pitch (the lugs should be lubricated so that they can be more accurate) but it gets close so after using it you just sell tune it and it will be much easier.

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 very easy to get both heads resonating - and it makes a BIG difference on he sound. It also encouraged me to quickly and effectively try different tensions and explore the whole pitch range of the toms and snare drum. I'm proud to say that, after playing the same kit for almost ten years, I'm finally discovering my drums' true sound.
That said, remember: for this key to work, you need to have a drum with flat shell borders, flat hoops, lubricated and aligned lugs and tension rods, and new heads. Otherwise the tension reading on the lugs will be inaccurate. Also, you might still need a regular drumkey for fine tuning - and for the hardware: this key is not supposed to mess around with tom holders and cymbal stands!

I recently bought my son a nice new PDP drum kit and I wanted to make sure he had a good head tuner. Tuned drums are by FAR better than drums left to their own devices. Tuned drums project better, sound better and have properly aligned harmonic overtones. That said, you would think you could use a standard drum key to achieve good tuning.
Well, you could. You could if you have all day to do it and a lot of patience and a really good ear. The Evans Torque key allows you to set the default tension for a particular drum head and then perfectly match all the other lugs to that torque setting. So it's not automatic, it still takes some skill to get the drum initially tuned right, but this tool makes it OH SO MUCH EASIER. So easy that even my 14 year old son is expert at it already.
