We're the drummers,
we know about tuning drums, so take our advice or don't bother fucking asking in the first place.
Yes, 1 person has "recommended" a torque key... but if you read my post you'd see I say it's a great starting point for tuning a kit. But you should also see I advocate having to still do some "real" tuning in addition.
For me it's a massive time saver - I tune much quicker with one than I do without. Hardly what I'd call a "waste of time". After all, what's wrong with having "one more tool in the armoury"?
Some people find they can tune quicker without one, some find they can tune quicker with one... different strokes for different folks...
The guy asked for advice about torque keys so I gave it.... he seemed grateful and you lay into him telling him to "take our advice".
Well, my advice is I find them useful... so does this mean you're gonna have a pop at me now...?
