The Basal Drum Key is beautifully cast from stainless steel and polished so bright you can see your pretty face in the reflection. This drum key makes it really easy to control the smallest tuning increments all the while doing an excellent job re-skinning drums completely. The contour of this key fits in your fingers extra comfortably and the thumb or index finger hole means you can attach it to any number of items, including hanging it from hardware like your hi-hats stand. The key fits naturally in the dedicated space inside the Basal ‘Drum Basics’ case and, having just toured with this key to give it its final test, I can’t wait for you to enjoy the ease by which it slips in and out of its spot and how nice it is to have a reliable place for a drum key to live. Obviously, you don’t need any particular case to be able to use this drum key and it was first and foremost designed to sit comfortably in your hand and do its job well. The Basal logo is etched into the stainless steel key so it ain’t going anywhere.
