What exactly can this special drum key do?
Well, the Ahead Speed Torque Ratchet key replaces marching drumheads (Kevlar) much faster than standard drum keys and is built to handle the extremely high tension required by Kevlar marching drumheads.
Ahead’s “high-speed torque key” features a smart two-way ratchet function that quickly tunes both snare drums and marching drums to the desired pitch.
Of course, this drum key isn’t just for marching drums. All drummers can benefit from the key’s clever two-way ratchet function, meaning you don’t have to lift the key off and on for every turn of the screw.
The key is also handy if you encounter a stubborn drum screw—the handle provides extra torque for the task.
Finally, the key comes with a Phillips head attachment, allowing it to double as a Phillips screwdriver.
