DW SM801-2 Standard Drum Keys, Pack of Two
The SM801-2 is two standard drum keys in one package. The format is the classic compact T-shape, with a key-ring hole. Two is not a random number: it is exactly what lets you keep one in the case and one on you.
What sets it apart
- Two standard drum keys per package
- Compact format, chrome finish
- Key-ring hole drilled through each key
- One for the case, one for your pocket
- Universal square tension rod fit
Why two, not one
Drum keys get lost. One stays on a snare, drops between two stage boards, or ends up in someone else's pocket. It is a small, metal, anonymous object that disappears without anyone meaning it to.
Having two from day one changes the approach: one lives in the front pocket of the snare case, the other moves around. When the second one vanishes, the kit is still playable and the replacement can wait for the next order.
The key-ring hole, the detail that decides where the key lives
A hole through the body of the key lets you attach it: to a key ring, a case zipper, a lanyard tied to the snare stand. A key that is attached does not get lost the way a key that is set down does.
It also lets you hang it right where you use it. On a permanent setup, in a studio or a rehearsal space, a key hanging from the snare stand gets found by everyone, including whoever did not put it back last time.
