Whats your evans torque key settings??? in Drums & Percussion Posted April 22, 2022 I'll go against the grain here as well. I have one and it works. It works well on the 1968 Ludwig kit I've had since I was 12 years old. I'm now 44. I use emperor batters and ambassador resonants. My lugs are clean, this kit has been kept pretty well, but it is a gigging kit and my workhorse for all things. I do also have a drum dial, and a tune bot. For swapping out heads and emergency situations I find the torque key, in my experience has been a pretty good tool. It gets me pretty dang close to the pitch I want without tapping drums, taking them off stands, flipping them over etc. Yes there will be variables. And for recording a tune bot wins. But for the price this is a pretty handy tool. I find the settings of 4-6 as mentioned earlier to be about where I hang out as well. It's a quick and cheap way to enter the ballpark of getting tuned. Just my opinion.
