Evans Pull Cord Drum Key
The Evans Pull Cord Drum Key is a serious time-saver for drummers who want faster, smoother drumhead changes without sacrificing tuning accuracy. Designed to speed up both head swaps and rough tuning, this clever tool features a retractable pull-cord system that spins tension rods at high speed — just like using a drill, but without the hassle, noise or extra gear.
Simply pull the cord to rapidly loosen or tighten rods when changing heads or resetting a kit. Once you’re close to your target tension, switch over to the fixed drum key head for controlled, precise manual tuning. It’s an intuitive two-stage system that makes drum maintenance quicker, cleaner and far more consistent.
Clear red and white indicator rings show whether you’re tightening or loosening, helping you avoid mistakes when working quickly — especially handy during rushed changeovers or late-night head swaps. Housed in a tough, lightweight plastic body, the Evans Pull Cord Drum Key is built to handle hundreds of head changes without complaint.
Whether you’re prepping for a gig, servicing a rehearsal kit or fine-tuning drums in the studio, this is a smart upgrade that saves time and effort every single session.
