Bought this key a couple months ago. While the magnet isn't strong enough to truly prevent rattling, it's very easy to use. The ergonomic handle is very nice. One disclaimer: due to the nature of magnets, if you are a hard hitter, it is best not to keep this on your snare drum. As I realized after a loud practice session the other day, the continuous shock can demagnetize it. Still has a little bit of grab to it, though.

This is a handy drum key..has an ergonomic handle,a knurled spinner knob(this plus the magnet makes removing tuning rods much easier)There are a few negatives:the key is rather large and heavy compared to a standard key,its a little more cumbersome to use and the magnet strength doesnt seem to be enough to keep the key rattle-free during play as claimed.The magnet even came out of mine,but I was able to shove it back in and anchor it with adhesive.One good thing about this key,its large handle and weight gives it great leverage for torquing set screws on the pedal where they wont come loose.This key was designed by Ned Steinberger,creator of many innovative products for musicians.

This is one of the best drum tunners I've ever had. My one dissapointment was that it won't stick to my frige, though I'm not the one who ordered it. ( I got it for my birthday). I don't know, Maybe my parents ordered the wrng one, but anyhow, it's a great tunner anyway, and I keep it on a little shelf in our band room now. From reading the other reviews, it seems to be magnetic, (and from the advertisment), so I guess it's just mine. Order now!!!

The Evans Magnetic drum key is, quite simply, the best drum key there is on the planet. I have kept my drum key handy on my floor tom, but the rattle for the last 40 years has been irritating. Rattle no more. The knurled knob is PERFECT spinner for installing or removing heads. Don't hesitate. Buy this drum key. It seemed expensive at first, and now I don't even remember how much it was.

If your like me, you eat a lot. and the first place you head to after practice, is the fridge. NEVER LOSE YOUR KEY AGAIN! I can just walk up to the fridge, throw it at the door, and open it in a single motion that makes me look incredibly awesome, and saves time, allowing me to get more food faster. I love this key!
