FARMINGDALE, NY — July 1, 2026 — EVANS Drumheads is proud to introduce the High-Tension Drum Key, a tuning tool engineered to give drummers the extra leverage they need for high-tension tuning applications.
Built for marching snare, tenor, and bass drums, the High-Tension Drum Key makes tuning an easier, more efficient, and more comfortable experience under even the most strenuous conditions, while the durable steel construction holds up under repeated heavy use. Unlike standard drum keys, the High-Tension Drum Key features a wide curved handle and ergonomic rubber over-molded grip to provide more comfort and better leverage when tuning. That means less hand fatigue and greater control when making more precise adjustments at higher tensions.
The EVANS High-Tension Drum Key was also recognized with a NAMM Best in Show Award, highlighting its innovative design and practical impact for percussionists.
The EVANS High-Tension Drum Key is available now at EVANS Product Page.
