Drum Keys & Tuners

Drum Keys & Tuners. Drum Keys are used to adjust the drum skin or drum head tension to alter pitch or tone.

Tuning keys are generally small metal tools, all in a standard size, and are used on the square headed bolts found on drum kits and drum hardware. They allow for the drum skin to be loosened or tightened for tuning, or for completely removing and replacing the drum head.

At Gear4music we also stock electronic drum tuners and mechanical drum tuners like the popular Overtone Labs Tune-Bot, which measure and display the exact tension or pitch of a drum - so you can tune your whole kit with precision every time.
