Introducing the EVANS High-Tension Drum Key. This new Drum Key provides the user with the extra leverage needed to tune high-tension marching snares, tenors, bass drums, and their hardware.
Designed with ergonomics in mind, the High-Tension Drum Key features a wide curved handle and an over-molded rubber grip for extra comfort. The steel construction is extremely durable, and is guaranteed to last through the rigors of any marching season you put it through.
The EVANS High-Tension Drum Key is #BuiltToCompete.

One word: Cymbals.
You asked, and we listened. With the EVANS Hybrid Cymbal and Hi-Hat Sensors, Sensory Percussion is expanding beyond drums to complete the picture of the full kit. No rubber pads, no compromise.
We took our revolutionary Sensory Percussion timbre detection technology, improved it, and adapted it for use with cymbals, bringing a never-before-seen level of realism and nuance to electronic cymbals. With more zones than any existing electronic cymbal system, the EVANS Hybrid Cymbal and Hi-Hat Sensors represent a paradigm shift.
Quick hits:
-5 zones on ride/crash cymbals (bow, crash, bell-tip, bell-shoulder, ping)
-6 zones on hi-hats (bell-tip, bell-shoulder, bow, edge, pedal, ping)
-Easily integrates with existing EVANS Hybrid Sensory Percussion Sound System
-Updated Sensory Percussion library to include cymbals in all existing presets (acoustic, melodic, and beyond)
-Compatible with EVANS dB One low-volume cymbals

Tech Tip: How to Easily Loosen and Tighten Your Tension Rods
.
.
.
As we all know, when it comes to drums, it’s the little things that can make a massive difference.
Having the right tools when changing out your drumheads is one of those things we may or may not think about often.
One of the tools we use as drummers — but tend to lose instead of keep — is drum keys.
For a long time, drum keys all looked relatively the same and functioned similarly.
Until now!!
Over the past two years, the @evansdrumheads R&D team has been working on a product that redefines what a drum key can be. That product is called the Pull Cord Drum Key.
“The Evans Pull Cord Drum Key combines the speed of a power drill with the precision and control of a traditional drum key. This tool features a unique horizontal key head connected to a retractable coil spring pull cord system, enabling rapid and effortless tightening or loosening of tension rods. Additionally, the third key head is fixed for precise fine-tuning adjustments.”
I’ve had the pleasure of putting several prototypes to work over the past seven-plus months, and I can assure you that this key delivers exactly as described.
Now, of course, an impact drill is still much quicker — but once you get good at using this key, it’s not by much. And last time I checked, you can’t throw a power drill in your back pocket. 😉
In the end, this new tool provides a way to change out your drumheads quickly and effectively, allowing you to worry less and play more!!
What do you guys think? What drum key do you normally use? Would you try this new tool from Evans? Leave a comment and let’s talk about it!
Stay creative, and have a great rest of the week. Love you guys!! Okay, byeeeee! 🥁🤓👊🏻❤️🙏🏻
